Not that I'm tired of riding in circles, but...

In keeping with the anti-debt theme, there's enough cash on the bar to cover
the drink of your choosing....

From some digging I've done on the wild world web I can see that in the past
there are/have been at least three IRLs within an easily workable distance
for me.

I'm in the north-middle-east of Massachusetts a couple towns form the NH
border. Nearby routes are 2, 190 south to Worcester, 495S to the Cape and
north to the beaches, NH Rte3 to points middle north of New England and VT.
I spend a lot of my non-commuting ride time going west on 2 toward North
Adams, MA, and/or northwest on 119/123/124/31/101 toward Keene, NH, because
I like the sparse traffic and nice scenery. I went out for a ride one day
and found myself at the junction of 119 and 91 near Brattleboro, VT. I still
had lots of time left in the day so I made the run up 91 to White River
Junction and then back on 89 through the Nashua area, just for shits and
giggles. Had a blast just enjoying the 65-70MPH ride. Lost all consciousness
toward the significance of time and returned home some 6 hours later, a bit
exhausted, but with that smile that only a biker can smile when bones are
aching and ears are ringing.

An 8 hour day - 6 hour ride one way is no problem to spend an evening
drinking and a morning sleeping off any overindulgences, although admittedly
I have no real experience at packing my bike for an overnight trip, but I'm
willing to give it a go and suffer any stoopidities. A couple hours out and
a couple hours back for a lunch and a couple of beers is also simply lovely.

That puts the CT Vermort, and the pig roast in Halifax, MA in the "there and
back in a day" category, and the VT Vermort in the "spend the night and get
hammered category". Since I spent the summer of '79 living in Stowe, VT and
haven't been back much since, I'd really enjoy touring the area for a couple
of days on the bike, and having a place to rest my head, and share the joy
of it. I remember the roads well (not so much which ones go where, but more
what they are like), and imagine that riding them on a sickle is literally
hog heaven.

Question is, who is the keeper of the schedules for these events, and are
they open to all? I'm thinking it's time to make a few trips out of the
backyard and meet some folks, but I need to plan accordingly, starting
pretty soon.
