Who is attending STAR 2016?
« on: February 01, 2016, 04:32:43 PM »
I and Chris Jernigan are riding to STAR from Western NC.

My wife Patricia and her service dog Trent are flying into Albany, NY on Sunday. She will be renting a car for the event.

Chris's girl friend, Janet is also flying in I don't know his/her plans.

Oh yea, and I'm winning this year's bike raffle bike! So there! Take that!

Last year's STAR is the only one I missed since 1992.

Hope to see ALL Y'all there!

Seems like if she was going to fly there she would just drive up from home :o

I'm in for Star though.

Just got registered and booked my room, my brother Richard will be joining me for his first STAR. Looking forward to riding in that area, new for both of us.

Now to find some decent alternative to slabbing all the way there, not a problem as I'm allowing 2 days.

From where you live, that will be two very long days on surface roads. Maybe going for a 50-50 mix of slab and surface roads is more realistic?

I have not registered yet, but I plan on attending. Hope to see a lot of familiar faces there at a new STAR location.

Yep probably the case, looks like close to 600 miles on direct route, so more than that on back roads. Will put some heads together here at some point and look at options.

I'll have 4-5 days to explore that area and the roads between on the way home.

That's really not too bad.  We went from N. Sydney NS to Ohio in 3 days...about 1500 miles....immediately after hopping off the redeye ferry from Newfoundland...mix of slab and backroads, and I know Steve isn't talking about dirt or gravel.

Donna and I are planning on it.  Should be fun, its been a long time since we rode in VT.  Come to think of it, that was back in the Hurricane days...before kids!

Wife and I will be going to STAR. Never been to VT, looking forward to a new area. I'm sure we will stop by Ben & Jerry's.
