Dave I was thinks along the same lines of catching a few other states also. Maybe something like this. Would be a long day, but not as long as going to Maine and back.

Or this one into New Hampshire. But it really depends on where the rally rides are going to go.

Or you could use route 4 (to the north) and loop back with 140/103/131. If you use route 131 there is a short auto road that goes up Mt. Ascutney. http://www.vtstateparks.com/htm/ascutney.htm If you find yourself near Manchester Vt. you could check out this auto road http://www.equinoxmountain.com/skylinedrive_index.php

It includes 9n along Lake George, 125 to Hancock, Bethel Mt. road and Camp Brook road to Bethel, then on to Quechee which has Quechee Gorge (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attracti...d_Vermont.html) Another variation https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Lake...m0!2m1!1b1!3e0 OK here's another one (I can't help myself) this one includes what's known as "the notches" https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Lake...m0!2m1!1b1!3e0 As you can see, you don't even have to leave Vermont to have a great ride :) On a side note: anyone going to Lake George that likes ice cream should check out this place. Their ice cream is VERY good IMO. http://marthasicecream.com/

As long as were on the subject of rides at the National.
What is you guys opinion on how many miles a ride should be? I'm thinkin between 180 and 220, I led a ride at one of our Regional rallies and it was 225 miles. Some members got upset at the time it took and wanted to get back to the motel to "socialize" or drink beer as some call it

Tomm and Turtle, Thanks for all the info. Time will be limited to the free day of riding, so much more than 6-8 hr round trip would be out of the question. So once the scheduled rides are determined, I can decide on where else I will go. I would like to hit as many states as possible, but also see some good landscape/scenery (not into tourist sites, cities and historical sites).

I hope to get to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Google tells me it's 104 miles each way from Lake George.

They have a statue of Babe Ruth there made out of wood. The cloth of the uniform looks so real I thought it was real cloth. They have a sign there saying not to touch, yeah right, I had to touch it to see if it really was wood. Yup it is.

Your right there TC. I put plenty of people in them in past years but I know I couldn't spend a night in one or longer.
