NY Metro Drivers.....October drive #1

Hi guys & gals,

I was planning on doing an overnight-er to Saratoga in October but too much is going on that month. I can plan a daily drive on Sunday, October 14th. Let me know if that date works.

I can plan a drive around Orange County that would take us into Pine Island and north into Goshen. There are some nice roads through that area that we've never been on.

We can meet up at the usual place.....The Red Apple Rest.

Let me know............thanks...........Bruno

PS....If you're a new member within the NY.NJ.CT area and want to meet up with us, feel free to do so. Our drives are open to everyone.

I'd like to start the drive a bit earlier than the last one. Any problem with getting to the Red Apple Rest by 9:30?
We'll start the drive at 10:00.

The drive is set for Sunday, October 21st. Meet at the Red Apple Rest(in peace) at 9:30AM. We'll start the drive at about 10AM.
Is anyone interested in visiting Orange County Choppers in Newburgh? If so, I'll add it as a stop on the drive. We can also pass Paul Junior's shop on the way.

If anyone needs my cell number, send me a PM.

I thought about doing lunch at the OCC cafe but their grand opening is Friday, Oct 19th....2 days before our drive. The wait on Sunday might be too long and I don't think we'd want to waste almost 2 hours. Lets talk about it on the day of the drive.
At this time I don't have a stopping point for lunch. I'm not sure where we'll be around noon but there are plenty of places to eat on the route.

Any interest in stopping at the Brotherhood Winery (Washingtonville) for some wine tasting?
