I'd like to join, but currently the distance is intimidating me.  Just did a weekend of 3-4 hr rides and that proved to be my limit.  NYC to DIMBY is ~5 straight, 6 with breaks.  I don't own a car so trailer-ing isn't an option.

Ok Howie, I know you have something to say because I'm half your age and you could probably do 1000 miles straight if you didn't have to stop for pesky gas.  Lay it on me...  ;D

What's holding you back?  My dimby commute is 12-14

Do the Catskill DESMO ride, 5 hours will seem like nothing.  And do the Catskill ride, it is fantastic.  If the day is too long you can bail at lunch.   If you go up with me you can lead and we can take unlimited breaks, no rush.

I'll confirm as all I'd need for the duc is a rear tire and I think a month might be enough time to get one even with procrastination.  [laugh]

Ok.  Catskill ride penciled in on my calendar.

As for DIMBY, I will ride with you but will hold you to the "no rush" offer.  Thanks!

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Looking at the trip.  Probably about 16 hours one way.  I'm thinking this is a two day trip on a bike each way.  If I do make this, I'll be coming from Western NC.  Any suggestions for where to make a stop for the night or how to break up such a long trip?  I'm trying to decide if I can make it or not still.
