Chicken Wing Ride - August 7th

[MarkB]

I'm planning to take a looooong ride on Sunday for some chicken wings. Going to leave Lyndhurst area around 8am, heading to Buffalo NY to visit the Anchor Bar, maybe head up in to Canada if the mood hits... or just hang around the Falls. Lots of options... heading back and catching dinner somewhere along the way.

Combination back roads and highway...

Hit me up if you want to join in!

Do you have a map of the route?

[MarkB]

Not yet... But a rought route is 90 > rt 20 (to avoid the tolls), in to downtown Buffalo to the Anchor. After that I don't have a set plan yet.... I can try and come up with one if that would help?

[speedytriple]

since it's a sunday I might be interested?

After lunch I am WAY open to suggestions, I use to live in this area so I have seen most everything up there, so if something is of interest I'm game.

I'd suggest taking a look at rt 5 instead of rt 20 they run parallel but rt 5 is a little more rural and not as many traffic lights parts of it run along Lake Erie and it takes you right into Buffalo.

I like it.... Rt5 is fine with me, probably some nice views of the lake along the way.

[conn-e-rot]

If you still wanted to get off rt 90 at 45 you just follow 20 into PA about 2 miles after state line there is a fork and that's where rt 5 starts.

[MarkB]

Thank for the tip, I appreciate it. I'm really flexible on this trip as I have no time table other than that I have to be at work on Monday and somewhat conscious and coherent.

I'd love it if a couple people tagged along.

You will be very happy with Rt 5 Mark, I have done that route when going to Canada several times.

Any of you considering this ride, Mark is a great guy and a good rider. You will have a good safe time.

[magley64]

[MIKE53ALI]

I go to canada all the time..... I've done a wing marathon in buffalo.... best wings I found were at la nova just mho.... probs gonna sit this one out unless someone has got a cruiser I could borrow?.........

[lammiepie615]

Same here. The route is way too straight and boring for me

[Bad324]

Same here. The route is way too straight and long for me

my feelings even tho I'd still probably go if I had the time. Alas I'll be up far too late to make that meet time as well as won't be back in time to play in the playoffs

[MarkB]

No takers? Bummer...

[speedytriple]

Wish I could but I cant do a all day ride on sunday got other stuff that needs to be taken care of. I might do a shorter local ride for a few hours.

[MarkB]

Well, I don't really want to do it solo, so I may do the poker run at QSL VV on Sunday...

[Siacono]

I would love to do this ride sometime but not this weekend, don't have the funds or a passport

[MarkB]

This is my only weekend this summer that I can be stupid....
