Long Island, NY Fall Meet (October 13 & 14 2007)

I'm going to call it Long Island Winery tour Meet 2007.
Date: Oct 6,7 or 13,14 or 20,27
I would vote for the 13,14 weekend, The 27th is to closet to Halloween. It gets a little nuts out here.
Information: There are about dozen winery's on the north fork, Some have ET and all have wine tasting. I will look into a nice place to eat and hotels for the out of towners.

If anyone out there would like to help me out on this meet, I would like that.

If you never went to meet. it's a lot of fun. You will make new friends and see you truck with different styles. And it's great to travel together in caravan.

Look at picture from the Mid- Atlantic Spring meet.

I know what you are thinking, Why post it in the Mid-Atlantic thread. I met with the Mid-Atlantic in Pa and asked me about a meet on Long Island, N.Y..
You see New York in Mid and northeast, in between.

Not that this has anything to do with the Fall Meet , but I will be in Long Island on the Canada Day long weekend (July 1). Just look for the Black Ridge with Ontario plates!:D

Where on Long Island will you be. Maybe we can hook up.

I am not entirley sure yet, but, (this is going to sound a bit strange) my wife's cousin is the assistant coach for the Islanders (Daniel Lacroix). So I am not sure if we are going to his house or some beach house.

I am definitely in!
Long Island in October should be beautiful. I'm willing to help in any way I can.

I've held quite a few Wine GTG's over the years and the easiest place to meet is at the Tanger Outlets. Then you drive out to Pindar or whatever Winery from there. Makes it easy and a fun drive.

Hi Al, NY and PA are in that gray area. Much of the country not to mention us
consider PA in the northeast, while many also include NY in the mid-Atlantic.
The more the merrier. Bud:)

Al, Sounds good!!. Let's pick a date and get it going.

I think the 6th and 7th is a holiday weekend for some :confused: :confused: I think it's Columbus Day on the 8th if that means anything, but I don't have a calendar in front of me right now.

13, 14 is cool to. You pick it.

I'll be there for sure

Mdwall, Will Oct. 13, 14 work for you?

It looks like it's going to be Oct. 13,14. I will post more information by this weekend. I'm out of town till friday.

The 13th works for me.:)

Looking like the 13, 14 is best for most. Count us in.

Date: Oct 13,14
Place: Long Island, N.Y., North Fork, Wine Country
Meeting: Starts at Tanger Outlet, Riverhead
Winery's follow and then Dinner.

List of Truckers coming:
Pizza Man, 2
63TBird, 2
Mdwalls, ?
Stugots. ?
Gene r, ?
Alsridgeling, 2
Oznative?
WJR1004?

I'm working on Hotel and a place for dinner.

Is there a ferry out of New London Ct? Hmm this may be tempting. I may have to look into joining my NY/PA/NJ compadres for a meet. Plus, I'd love to see Pizza Man :D ... I'll have to say I'm a maybe and I'll investigate the logistics.... I'll keep an eye on this one... :D
Maybe I can get some of my New England ROCers to follow me down... Oz? JForget? Bueller? :eek:

Looks like no ferry in October... Might be a difficult drive... but I'll still look into it... :)

Brian, I visited the Cross Sound Ferry web site and all they're saying is the ferry schedule beyond September hasn't been determined yet. October is still fine sailing weather.

There are two ferry, one goes to Port Jefferson and the other is to Greenport ior is it Greenpoint. Would like to see you guys from up north.

brich, I think they still run in Oct. to Port Jeff, but it's limited to how many times a day and when. Keep an eye on it. They may not announce the schedule until after July 4th.

Looking into possibly making this trip. Can anyone suggest any places to stay. It would be great to put faces to some of these names finally.:)

I would be interested
Oct 13 thh and 14 th work ...

Oz, alsridge tells me he's making a few calls today for lodging. We should have some info shortly. I do know there is a Best Western very close to where he wants to set up the Meet, problem is it's booked for the weekend of the 13th. The following weekend is open, however. Room rates there will be about $100 to $125 a night.

I also would be interested in hotel info for 13 and 14...
Please let me know...

Hey Alan....... I will probably be in for 2......Definately into the lodging for weekend ! Maybe Tbird can come up with another cool t-shirt idea,that we can all purchase for the meet!!! (love my Altoona shirt) :D Your dedication to putting this meet together is appreciated by all I'm sure !!! :cool:

I went to the Country Inn Motel’s website and attempted to make a reservation to check availability for the 13th. I’m afraid they are booked up for that weekend.:(

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like that weekend is one of the busiest weekends of the year for that area. My colleague who is from Long Island tells me that that week is the pumpkin festival and winery tour week. I just went to the Jamestown website and checked all of the Hotels and Motels and it looks like were out of luck if we want to stay on Long Island. Any suggestions?

Oz, we need to hear from alsridge. The Country Inn may be listed as being booked because Allan has made some preliminary reservations. There are only 18 rooms at the Inn and he was talking to them about taking over the whole Inn. We should be hearing from him shortly.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get to involved. I guess it's a real busy weekend down there. I'll sit on my hands and keep them away from the keypad.:)

No need to keep away from the keypad, Oz. I'm as concerned as you are. I have had phone contact with Allan recently and he told me what he's been up to concerning the LI Meet. I'm waiting to hear what arrangement he's been able to make.

I just got back from the Wine Country. I confirmed the winery tour at Martha Clara. Starting at 12:30 PM, Oct 13. The only problem I'm having is a place to stay, nearby. No luck in Riverhead. About 20 minutes before the winery, I found a Comfort Inn, in Medford and the rate start at $109 and up. I think this would work good. I'm also looking into Charlie Brown's Steakhouse for Sat night dinner.
Comfort Inn, 2695 RT 112, Medford, L.I. 631 654 3000. (OCT 12 - 14)I just called the hotel and ask for a discount rate and I got it. $99.90 per night. When you call, tell them, your are from the Ridgeline Club and if there a problem, ask for Mr. JT.
Charlie Brown's is next door.
http://www.charliebrowns.com/
Please Book early. and post your days you book at the hotel

I might like to get in on this, and I live only 10 minutes from Riverhead. It may be tough though, because I'm getting back from a 10-day Hawaii cruise on the 11th of October, my sons birthday (woe is me).

If you need any scouting done, you can call on me.

Dave, hope to see you there. Do you know of any Restaurants out there . PM me.

Hi guys, You will need to talk to Mr JT, the others are clueless. Bud

Allan, I think Charlie Browns is an excellent choice. It's right next door to the hotel. You couldn't get much closer than that. CB's should be well equipped to handle our dinner crowd as well.

I just called the Comfort Inn and blocked out 18 rooms at a discount prize of $99.90 per night. You must tell them your from the Ridgeline Club to get the discount. Please post if you are booking one or two nights. I would book ASAP. If you don't book early the rooms will go back to the hotel, so they can rebook for someone else. I know right now there are 4 rooms already booked.

This might be worth a drive down. Could be part of the New England contingent.

That would be great Joe, you could give rides in your RL swing contraption. :D

Go for it Joe, just don't dally with the decision if you intend to spend a night or two. I understand that's a busy weekend up on Long Island and rooms are going quickly.

That would be great Joe, you could give rides in your RL swing contraption. :D

Sure someone can ride the whole way down, just turned this RL into a 7 seater. :D

Joe, I missed you up there at Newport, but the pics where great. Come on down and bring a few fellow Roc'ers with you. Al's putting a lot of time into this and it's going to be alot of fun. Besides, we need to get the northern part of our group together with the southern part and make this the biggest Northeast meet to date.

Stugots is correct, if you plan on coming, book early. Hope you can make it. :D

This could be a great meet with alumni from Mt. Washington, Cape May, Newport and Altoona Pa.

Let's make it happen and welcome all!......

I working will Charlie Browns Steakhouse for Oct 13 dinner. It's set up and the menu will follow in a couple of days.

This is a plans:
Oct 12, Early check in at Comfort Inn and you are on your own for dinner and things to do.
Oct 13, I thinking there is a free breakfest
11:00am, meet in parking lot. Caravan to the winery.
12:30pm meet at Martha Clara winery
(I'm thinking of ordering a 6 foot or 2 hero or subs with salads for lunch. this would make is easy for all and we can split the course of it.)
I would say, it should end about 3 or 4pm.
Go back to to the Hotel and take a swim or whatever. lolo
Dinner at Charlie Browm 6:30pm

Sunday: Have Breakfest and say goodbye.

This is only a draft, and can change.

What's a hero ?:D

A hero sandwich, also known as an Italian sub or Italian submarine sandwich, is said to have originated in New York in the late 19th century when Italian laborers wanted a convenient lunch that reminded them of home.

The hero is traditionally at least two Italian meats and provolone cheese on a small or half loaf of crusty Italian bread with roasted peppers, vinegar, olive oil, and lettuce. It is a pork-based sandwich; popular meat choices include ham, prosciutto, pepperoni, capicola, mortadella and salami. However, the term "hero" has come to refer to any long sandwich in the greater New York area with the more non-regional term "sub" gradually becoming more popular in recent years.

"Hero" remains the prevailing term for any sandwich with a generally Italian flavor, in addition to the original described above. Pizzeria menus often include eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, and meatball heroes, each served with tomato sauce. Pepper and egg heroes and potato and egg heroes are also popular.

Tomatoes were not a historical ingredient of the hero, but are often included in modern heroes.

Synonyms and similar sandwiches are called elsewhere in America: heroes, subs, grinders, hoagies, Submarine sandwiches or Po' boys.
:eek: :D :p

Just pulling your leg Al. I'm from Hoagie country. I always bust on a guy at work when he says sub. Looking forward to trying a NY Hero. Bud

No problem. :D
I can't tell you guys, how important it is to book early, because if you don't you may not get a room. I have 13 room left and if it not booked by us, it will be rebooked by the hotel.

I realize it's four months away and most would think there's plenty of time, but in this case it's simply not true. October is a busy time for the Long Island Wine Country. There's lots going on that time of the year and rooms are being reserved this early.

The success of the Meet may very well be jeapordized by room availability. I think this Meet can draw in excess of 15 trucks. Allan has blocked 18 rooms at a nice and reasonably priced hotel. There is even a lounge for an after dinner c0cktail party. It costs nothing to reserve your room now.

Please don't procrastinate.

No problem. :D

Great news Mike, glad you can attend. :)

Great news, Mike, I'll update the roster for two.

Most likely I will attend the meeting. I will confirm closer to the date.

Roman.

Super Roman, how far are you from Riverhead? Is it safe to assume you'll not need lodging?

I am close enough (LIE Exit 44), so I don't think I need lodging.

It would be nice if you can join us. I've been to 2 meets with this gang. Lot's of fun & laughs. Hope you can stay for the group dinner.

All we need is our friends from New England to come on down!

And our Maryland friends to come up. Look forward to meeting you Roman.
Bud

There's the August 4th day trip to NJ as well. Bud

Please don't procrastinate.
Can you put me down for the second night? I can drive down in the morning the first day, or do I need to call someone?

Morning Joe, I assume you'll be staying the night. If so, please make your reservation soon, the Comfort Inn phone number is in my signature line. How many for dinner? I'll update the Roster after I hear from you.

Oz, brich, cwsatterly, you guys up for the Meet? :)

Raplon: Would you say, you are going to the meet, and the dinner? I'm from Long Island (Massapequa Area) and I'm staying the night. I also would need to know are you are one or two person for dinner.:D

Wow...sounds like fun and would love to meet all my fellow Ridgeline owners. Unfortunately, Oct. is a busy time for me so it's too difficult to commit this early. :(

I'll keep looking into future meets and hope to get to one of them! Hope you all have a great time and I look forward to hearing about it afterwards.

Roni, there is a August 4th meet in NJ. Place to be determined soon. Just a day trip. A warm up tp L.I. in October. Bud

Thanks, MD...I did see that and was looking into it. Just waiting to see the final details come out!

Count me in. I'll meet you at the hotel on Saturday and go to dinner as well.

Should be lots of fun. Love going out to the North Fork in October, been doing it for many years. You should also plan a drive to Briermere Farms (http://www.briermere.com/) for everyone to get some awesome pies, cookies and apple cider! It's a Long Island tradition to go there and get your pies for Thanksgiving, yes I said Thanksgiving. You then freeze them until the night before Turkey Day when you defrost them.

Just a suggestion, but everyone will enjoy it.

I have made this thread a sticky and added the event to the ROC Calendar.

I just made our reservation at the hotel for Oct 12 - Oct 14. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Raplon: Would you say, you are going to the meet, and the dinner? I'm from Long Island (Massapequa Area) and I'm staying the night. I also would need to know are you are one or two person for dinner.:D
I am in unless something unforseen happens. Is dinner for adults only, or kids are welcomed too?

I am in unless something unforseen happens. Is dinner for adults only, or kids are welcomed too?

I think I can speak for Al, certainly children are welcome. :)

We will be bringing our three year old.

No problem with kids. All are welcome. I only going to need a head count for Charlie Browns. and the winery would like a head count too. I working on a special menu with Charlie Browns and will post it shortly.

Then two plus an 11 year old.

I'm sure Allan will verify this, but I'm thinking children would order from the main menu with the special Meet menu for the adults.

spdrcr5, Britimes2, gene r and raplon, you've been added to the Roster. This was a great weekend for sign-ons. Thanks everyone.

Allan is doing a great job and putting in a lot of legwork organizing this Meet. This is going to be a real good time.

With four months to go the numbers are beginning to rival the National Meet. For those from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions this Meet will make a terrific alternative to the National for those who cannot make the drive out to St. Louis.

Calling all Cape May people. DoubleT, Shorty, jgal3200, First Shirt, cwsatterlee
dbb, Where are you ? This has the makings of a real nice meet. Hope to see you all there. Bud :D

It's looks like a good turn out. Spdrcre, (Larry) I looking forward to meeting you. I just spoken to my son and he know about the EL tour in Tuscon. He says it start as a tour and end in a race. Question: Do you know anyone that would like to sponsor this meet. Just to spice it up. You can PM me.:D

Actually El Tour de Tucson is a race right from the start. They give everyone a computer chip that you have to wear the entire ride so they monitor you.

As for who to get to sponsor the event. I'd try contacting your Honda Dealer. When I had done Audi meets on Long Island I used to get Huntington Audi to sponsor the events. I got them to pickup the tab on a great box lunch that I arranged for at Old Westbury Gardens after we did a great 70 mile drive along the Gold Coast. Dealers always love to jump on these things. Speak to the General Manager about doing something like this. They always have something they can give away too. Just sell it to them as something that current owners will enjoy and ask them to invite them to the site and to the event. Don't worry so much about getting an rsvp from them for the dinner, sell them more on the wine tasting and getting together with fellow Ridgeline owners. It usually works. :)

Allan, I've already contacted Apple Honda in Riverhead. I'm waiting for their response. Hopefully they'll have an interest in using their dealership as a ralley point prior to driving out to the vineyard.

Count me in. I'll meet you at the hotel on Saturday and go to dinner as well.

I have made this thread a sticky and added the event to the ROC Calendar.
I think this is an excellent idea and hope we can squeeze it in before dinner. The web site provided by spdrcr5 also contains directions for those who may want to drive out before heading home on Sunday.

Thank you Larry for looking into sponsors, Lunch boxes would be nice:D What ever you do, would be appreciated, by all

Well add one more to the list, I called the Comfort Inn this morning to reserve a room for the 13th. It will just be me for the dinner. See you in a few months.

Thanks Joe, looking forward to meeting you. Now if you could talk some of your New England buddies into joining us, that would be terrific! The Roster has been updated.

We have a fine crowd at this point and still have 4 months to go.

I will be posting the Charlie Brown Steakhouse Dinner Menu and the kids Menu next week. The price will be about $26 per person and the kids will be cheaper. You will get an appetizer or salad, entree and desserts and coffee or tea. Tip and tax is in the $26.00 price. DON'T SEND MONEY YET. After I post the menu, you can send the check to me, and I will tell you to whom to make the checkout to.
.
The only time that they can take us in, is at 7:15 PM. I have no problem with that, and I hope it's ok with all.

This is coming together real nice Al. Good job. Don't want to wish summer away, but I am really looking forward to this. Bud

I agree with Bud, thanks for taking the lead on this. :)

We are all looking forward to the Long Island Meet, Allan. I echo the thanks the others have extended to you. It is coming together very well.

I'm slightly concerned about the dinner time. Not as far as I'm concerned, but for those who may be day-tripping and those with children. 7:15 may be a bit on the late side for them. It's a shame they can't take us at 5:00 or even a bit earlier. Most kids won't wait that late for dinner and the day-trippers may opt out of dinner to get on the road for home. Being a resourceful group, I'm sure we can work around it.

Stugots: To answer your 7:15PM question:
Winery at 12:30PM
Tasting is about one hour long
Lunch at the winery and the hayrides and B/S, about two or hours.
A slow ride back to see the veg. farms and one stop at the Briermere Farm for pies, or maybe to stop at another winery. One hour or more.
Go back to the Hotel and the locals can hang out with the hotel ridge's
At the hotel, there is a pool to hang out too.

DINNER TIME:
I think 5:00pm is to early and the only other, time was 7:15 and I took it.
If there is a problem with 7:15 and you would like to change it to 5:00, it ok with me. Please vote on it. My vote is 7:15pm

Two more things to do in Riverhead:
1:What the wifes like to do? Shopping: Tanger Outlet Mall in Riverhead. My wife can spend two days. :cool: Leave Wife and kids at Mall and we go to the winery's:D
2 Riverhead has a nice Aquarium.

If it was not for the nice people in this group, I wouldn't have done it. I hope the weather will be nice, that's why I have stugots helping me. lolol

If I could guarantee the weather for you, Allan, I would. Generally, I'm the guy that picks the rainest week in the summer as my vacation. :eek:

As far as dinner time is concerned, I like the idea of seeing what others have to say about it. I'm just concerned the day-trippers would have too much idle time before dinner and decide not to join us. I'd also like to save some time after dinner for a few drinks (can't say ****tail :rolleyes: ) at the Hotel with everyone.

I could care less personally about the time, it's the others I'm worried about. So let's hear from some of the others. As long as 5:00 is still an option, let's at least consider it.

Menu-2

Appetizer:Soup of Day or Shrimp kocktail or Caesar Salad or House Salad or Farmer's Market Salad Bar.

Entree: Broccoli and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breast or Wild Mushroom Prime Rib Au Jus or Grilled Salmon Fillet or Grilled Vegetable Ravioli or Stuffed Shrimp with Lump Crabmeat or 9oz filet Mignon with frizzled onions

Desert: Apple Pie or N.Y. Style Cheesecake or Key lime pie
Coffee and tea included.

Price @ $19.99

Tax: 8.625% @ $1.72

Gratuity @ 20 %: $4.00

Total: $25.71 per person

Liquor: Cash Bar

What do you think?

I think for $26/head and all those choices you can't beat it. Great job, Allan.

I like the menu and the 7:15 time Al. Bud

The price and menu look good. 5:00 or 7:15 works for me. Like Stu, I did wonder if the later time would impact those with kids and day trippers.

Let's see if any chime in.

Total for 7:15 pm = 4
Total for 5:00pm = 0
NOTE:You pick your entrees in the restaurant, not before.

7:15 sounds better to me.

Looks like my fears may be unfounded.

Raplon is bringing a child and votes for 7:15, cool by me! :D

7:15 and the menu is fine with me

7:15 sounds perfect,and no need to rush trough the day !!! Great work Alan !

Looks good to me and it is making me hungry, 7:15 works here as well.

Ok the poll is over and 7:15 pm won, for dinner time.
Thank for your input.

Anybody else hungry? :D

ALL YOUR VACATIONS ARE CANCELED.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU MUST BE ON LONG ISLAND TO PARTY WITH GREAT PEOPLE:D

I will be asking for checks, (Only good ones) for Charlie Browns Steakhouse, in Sept for dinner. $25.71 person and children will be paid after dinner. There will be a separate bill for drinks.
If you would like send in your money now, you can send it to me, but make the check out to Charlie Browns Steakhouse. You can post date it for Sept. or Oct.
My address is

ALL YOUR VACATIONS ARE CANCELED.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU MUST BE ON LONG ISLAND TO PARTY WITH GREAT PEOPLE:D
Good one! :D
Allan let us know when the checks come in and I'll update the Roster to reflect everyone's payment.

There's still an outside chance that I'll make this one. Is there an up to date itinerary?
Actually, is the meet still starting at 11am. Curious so I know if driving down Saturday morning is an option (I know, I'll need to get up early):D

Also, any thoughts on driving down through the city as opposed to taking the ferry? It appears that I'd add a couple hours to the trip yet I figure it would be a couple hundred bucks cheaper not taking the ferry AND I get to see more of New York with my Red Sox bumpah stickah displayed...:p

I'm going to make a decision in the next couple of days so that I can get a room and get on the "IN" list. Will probably be me and either my 8 yr old or my 5 yr old. Bringing both can make the drive twice as long. And of course my wife will want to just stay home and have a quiet weekend, just her and our littlest new addition...:D

Trust me... I really, REALLY want to attend this meet!!

Ok, so maybe the Cross Sound will be more affordable:D ... I'll wait for the October schedule release. :cool:

Brian, I don't think the rates will change, just the departure times.

If your looking for an itinery, then tentatively it looks like we're going to assemble at the Comfort Inn. We'll then depart the hotel at about 10:00 AM to drive over to the Apple Honda Dealership located nearby.

Apple Honda has agreed to host us in the morning. There will coffee and bagels, some give-aways, a Service Tech to handle any owner questions. From there we're off to the winery. We should arrive there about 12:00 to 12:30 for some lunch and a wine tasting. Weather permitting there will also be a hay ride tour of the vineyard. Apple is also sending out flyers to all of their Ridgeline customers inviting them to join us. So look for a great turnout for the Meet as well as a few new ROC members. Dinner will be at 7:15 at the local Charlie Brown's located next door to the hotel. Alsridge will be firming this up in due time.

Alsridge is doing a fine job organizing this event and I hope you can attend. Be sure twist some arms and bring along more of your New England ROC buddies. This is going to be fun.

Brian, I don't think the rates will change, just the departure times.


Gotcha... Just that I looked at one ferry from Bridgeport and it was like $90 one way yet the one out of New London is like $40 one way. It's not looking good for Oz but I will certainly see what I can do to convince others. Great to see JForget going. How can I not go now. This would make 4 meets that Joe and I attended together. Must be some sort of record...:D

Thanks for the info Stugots... don't count me out yet :D

Actually, now that you mention it, I haven't. Hmmm Hope all is well. I have a few members in mind that I may ping to see if they're interested. I just hate nagging and then have me not be able to make it... :D But I'll try just the same...

Come on Brich, we gotta muster the New England caravan heading down Sat morning. Kids can ride in the swing chairs, they will love it.

Hahahaha the kids ride best when they are more than an arms reach of each other... :D

Joe, how did you plan on getting out there? Ferry wise? Or did you get some sort of Amphibious mod that you plan on unveiling that day... :eek:

If the ferry was running, it seemed like the best option. Ferry Cost vs. Fuel and aggravation, probably close. Will play it by ear.

Maybe you guys can meet up somewhere, use one RL and split the ferry expense. :)

Arguably one of the best posts I've seen in a Looooong time... ;)
I WILL spend the money to get there. I'm just trying to be thrifty. It's more about me trying to fit it into a schedule at home that always seems jam packed... :D

Hello there Pizza Man,

Long time no see, welcome home! :)

It's good to be back, thanks Dan. I've missed everyone.

The cost of the Ferry needs to be offset by the possibly 4-6 hour drive to drive down the coast through CT, across the Throgs Neck Bridge, then back out to Eastern Long Island. The ferry cost should offset the fuel costs to get you that distance. If I were you I'd catch the Ferry in New London, CT and take it to Orient Point.

Give Cross Sound Ferry (https://www.longislandferry.com/Default.asp) a call and ask them for an idea as to possible Ferry Service. They will know their basic schedule based on previous years.

(860) 443-5281

If I were you I'd catch the Ferry in New London, CT and take it to Orient Point.
This is what I was thinking... Looks like 3 hours to the ferry, hour and a half on the ferry, and then 45 minutes to Medford... Not that bad. I'm thinking I would have to leave my home at 5am. This could be interesting with my kids...:eek:

OK alsridge add another Ridge to the list (2) attending. I am clear that weekend. This should be fun!

Hey alsridge not trying to sound like the old cliche. But the check is now in the mail:D

Pizza Man my wife made the reservations today. I just have to double check to see if she got both the 12th and the 13th. Looked it up online it is almost 100 drive from Brewster so we will be staying down there. Plus this makes it a little more relaxing.

Relaxing is good MoeD, I'm anxious to meet you and the wife.

Yes Pizza Man relaxing is good! I am looking forward to meeting everybody and finally putting faces with the names.

It would be great to see new faces at the meet and I think you will enjoy it. COME ON DOWN.
Me and Stugots are working on something that all will like, but you MUST come to the meet.

It will be Posted shortly.;) :D :rolleyes:

Allan I think Stugots dropped out, but that's OK. Pizza Man took his place! :p :D

Hi Snake,

I had contact with Double T and he'll be in Florida the week of the meet, but wished he could make it.....

I was just starting to like that guy. :D
Yeah, me too! :rolleyes:

You're such a goof! :eek:

ONDLINKS and I have changed our reservations. We will be arriving on Friday, Oct 12, departing on the 14th.

WooHoo,..... PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

I was hoping that Stugots would leave, Thank God.:D

Also, any thoughts on driving down through the city as opposed to taking the ferry? It appears that I'd add a couple hours to the trip yet I figure it would be a couple hundred bucks cheaper not taking the ferry
I took the ferry from Orient Point to New London last October and it was something around $45. Also, think about gas saving. If I were you, I would take the ferry coming here (assuming the schedule is convenient enough) and would drive back through the NYC. If you do decide to take the ferry, go to their web site and buy the ticket in advance, as this is the only way to ensure the spot on the ferry.

Allan I think Stugots dropped out, but that's OK. Pizza Man took his place! :p :DI heard his Mom took back the keys to her Ridgeline... and he's back to driving his Ford...:eek:

How about bringing a few pies to our fall meet?

I would, if I could. :)

From time to time I check the "who's on-line" feature and notice there are Guests checking into this thread.

How 'bout it guys, join up and sign on to the Meet. It's well organized with a lot of fun Ridgeliners attending.

Welcome back Pizza Man. We missed you. Those pies sure look good ! Bud

Why thank you, Bud. It's nice to hear.

Me plus 1 plus the truck.

If i have to back out (due to work out of state) I will give plenty of notice.
I live about 45 minutes away and will be down for the Saturday portion of the Meet.

Any chance of getting Gary Flint out for this if we can get more than 20 ridges committed??

also,
i am interested in building a website for the meet and future North East Meets.......

Allan, I've got the T-Shirts covered. When I finalize a design I'll post it for approval.

Yes, both of us will be attending dinner. I will PM you shortly.

Interesting ASFC, PM me and I'll give you all the details I know. I'll also get some input from Allan.

Just for the record folks, we have just matched exactly the Cape May and Altoona truck and dinner counts. We are on a roll! :D

Also, please note that H&A has agreed to be a contributing sponsor.:D Let's get some additional business out to these fine organizations.

Fine work Allan & Joe. I believe this will be a east coast record meet. :)

One more truck will break the record.

So, who wants to be the one to break the record!

BTW, we just picked up another contributing sponsor. Thank you Burtman Industries.

How about it dbb, eaglesno1, doubleT, jgal3200, firstshirt

How about it dbb, eaglesno1, doubleT, jgal3200, firstshirt
Hey Bud, dbb will be out of the country, doubleT will be in Florida the month of October. Eagles and jgal are still thinking about it. Eagles' work schedule is undetermined and jgal has another commitment. I think he may break it, though.

Count us in, Al. My wife & I and our 3 yr old son.

I'll update the Meet Roster shortly, Always a Honda Guy. The Roster Link is in my signature line.

You've just broken the East coast record! Congrats!

A little taste of things to come. The North Forkis really beautifull in October with all the farm stands looking like Martha Stewart decorated them (and that's a good thing). That little ferry is coming from Shelter Island to Greenport. The picture was taken from Claudio's dock a really nice hangout this time of year. The other water shot is a little north shore beach looking across the sound to Conn. Saw Jimmy Cliff at the Martha Clara vineyard 2 summers ago in the middle of an open field, really great. That bad boy in front of the sign is my Lowrider, it was a great morning for a ride out East. Looking forward to seeing you all.

more pictures

more north shore

last ones for now

forgot these

Nice Pictures, GeneR You just became own tour guide for Long Island. :D

Terrific pictures, Gene. I just showed them to Jeanette (wife). She's ready to go today!

I hope those of you folks that are still considering coming are swayed by Gene's photos of the North Shore.

Dan, I can picture us sitting under Claudio's awning tipping a few. Anyone care to join us?

ASFC, can these pictures make it into the Web Site?

Yes they can!!

I just need names for proper credit.


-Brian

Use Gene r's screen name, unless he wants to volunteer his proper name.

Welcome aboard "Always a Honda Guy" We have you down for the meet and dinner

Why are we are rating only has one star?:confused:

up to 3 now

I see 4 ****. :D

what many people don't realize is that Suffolk county is one of if not the largest county in the USA. And at one time it had the most farm land acreage of any county in the USA, or close to it. Of course now much of it is being developed but it can still take your breath away. When the weather is right the trees can start to turn but the sod farms are still green. I'm sure many of of us will be coming home with a few bags (and bottles) of the local goodies.

Gene, the photos you posted have whetted my interest. I was looking forward to the Meet because the few times I've been to the island I thought it was beautiful. After seeing the photos, I wish we were meeting this Saturday.

I think your photos alone will attract even more attendees. Nicely done!

Website is up and working.

It is not just for this LI Winery Tour, it is intended for use for posting all North-East ridgeline meets. the website is:

http://www.ridge-meets.com

and the LI Winery tour page is:

Winery Tour (http://www.ridge-meets.com/liwinery07.html)

check it out, tell your friends. We hope to use this as a platform to increase attendance to the meets. (and yes, Gene's pictures are up. click on Winery Tour and then "what to expect" on the winery tour page.


-Brian

Brian, I plan to include the link in my signature line. Do you mind? It wouldn't hurt to include it in yours as well.

go for it. No objections on linking to the site.

anyone able to draw well?? I need a logo for the ridge-meet website... preferably the silhouettes or outlines of 2 ridgelines coming head-to-head.. plan to use it for t-shirts and events that ridge-meets.com attempts to sponsor.


-Brian

It's in there. Nice job Brian, thank you!

A website for the meet - well done! Thank you.

I'm starting to get anxious, how about you Britta? I can sure use a few days away.

Although it's not definite, FirstShirt is hoping his schedule will allow him and his wife to join us! I hoping as well.

Hmm... Cape May Part Deaux! :D

Nah, we'll have to drive out to St. Louis for that.

I understand he drives a black Ridgeline.

Sign-ons are slowing up a bit, now.

I think it's understandable. There are very many members who mention sincere interest, but cannot yet commit due to unknown work schedules or family or sports obligations.

I'm sure we'll see a flurry of activity as the Meet date draws closer.

I met two nice ladies in South Jersey today.....was visiting a friend,and seen a nice Blue in a driveway across the road. Turns out the 2nd lady owned a White Ridge down the street. I gave them a Ridgeline hello,and a couple of Ridgeline Club Guides........hoping to see some new sign on's soon !!! May-be they can get their Ridgelines into the Long Island Meet ? :)

Nice going JerseyRidge!

Did you get any phone numbers? :eek: :D

Here's a couple T Shirt designs I'm playing with. Any thoughts?

Joe, I think it needs the RL. Maybe some grapes next to it. Bud

Joe, I think it needs the RL. Maybe some grapes next to it. Bud

Or the Rl with a bunch of grapes over flowing the bed. :)

go with the first one... are those the designs o the back or front of the shirt??

One or the other, guys. I can't do miracles. Well maybe little ones! :D

Seriously, the website I'm using will only allow one image insert. Also, the more colors used; the more the price increases.

If the volume is there we could probably offer both styles for those who may want more than one shirt. Hubby wears the RL; wife wears the grapes? :rolleyes:

Here's a couple T Shirt designs I'm playing with. Any thoughts?

Your too kind, thank you.

I'd vote for the RL design

I'm working on it, Joe.
I have the graphic if you need it, and then just get an OK from T Mac to use it for the meet.

Hi Brian, the design is on the front of the shirt.

What I'm most interested in right now is do we use the RL or the Grapes or do we offer both. Cost will probably be less than $15. Depends on volume of sales.

I'd vote for the RL design
Duly noted Gene, thanks for your input.

Count another vote for the design with the RL on it! Any luck on the ROC design?

Thanks again, Joe.

I just got off the phone with Apple Honda. I'm really getting stoked about this Meet!

Apple Honda is sending out flyers to all of their Ridgeline customers inviting them to join us at the dealership. They have 206 Ridgeline customers and everyone will receive the flyer. If only 5% of them respond that would be an additional 10 trucks at the dealership.

Did I hear someone say, "THIRTY TRUCKS AT A REGIONAL MEET, WOW"!:eek: :D

There will be refreshments, some gifts and a Service Tech to answer any questions we may have. They are arranging newspaper coverage as well trying to get the radio station they advertise with to set up a remote broadcast. Maybe they'll even do on-air interviews. :D

Somebody needs to come up with a ROC commercial! :eek:

The owner of Apple Honda is a 78 year old gentleman who is truly excited about hosting us. He's even going to join us.

This also going to be a terrific opportunity to push the ROC and gain even more membership. I'll make sure there are plenty of ROC brochures to hand out.

"Pizza-man and the ROC Present: Winery Tour 2007..... Come down to the Apple Dealership in Riverhead... Riiverhead... RIVERHEAD!!! October 13th 2007...

ASFC, this is alsridge's Meet. He's the guy that did all the leg-work securing lodging, a vineyard and a restaurant. He asked me for some assistance and all I did was make a few calls and send a few e-mails.

Allan is on vacation this week. Otherwise, we would be hearing from him.

Your commercial reminds me of an old radio commercial from back in the '60 for Atco Dragway in New Jersey. They held special race events on SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! :D

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY still rings true! :)

I expect that the dealership could draw 10 or more trucks. They count, don't they? ;) I'm thinking about 30 Ridgelines in a combined count. That's got to be some kind of East Coast record.

That's the plan! :D I'll be bring plenty of brochures to pass out to the non-members and to leave with the dealership.

Chit-chat is allowed here I see! :rolleyes:

Pizza Man I have seen mention of these brochures before. Where does one get these from?

MoeD, here's a link to the post that has three different versions of the ROC brochure (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=42838&postcount=1). They are PDF files. None of them are up to date, but do a fine job of getting the point across.

I've asked T Mac if there is an official version that he can hook us up with, but haven't yet received his reply. If there is no official version I will choose one of the versions and print it for distribution at the Apple Honda Dealership.

Thanks Pizza Man, I kept trying to do a search for them but to no avail. Now I just need to get the dang printer to cooperate I will be all set.

You're welcome Moe. I'm thinking about going to OfficeMax or Staples to get some color copies made on shiny brochure paper. The colors should look better than on copy paper.

I thought it's time to bring up this thread again, it was getting dusty!

For any of you folks that expressed interest but needed to firm up work schedules now is the time to start the process. Remember room availability will be very difficult as the Meet draws closer. October is a busy time for the Long Island Vineyards. Don't be shut out just because there's "no room at the inn". It costs nothing to reserve your room. If you need to cancel there is no charge if you do it early enough.

I am not saying these folks will do this, but I did not get the group discount at Altoona because I waited too long. Don't delay. Bud

Very good point, Bud.

I am planning on being there for at least the Sat events, not sure if I will be able to stay overnight. No kids will be coming. Wife might, but, she works lots of weekends in the fall.

How far from Brentwood State Park will we meet on Saturday the 13th? I will be there this Saturday watching my daughter play lacrosse.
