Top ten in my age group and 81st overall. It might be the best gravel event I’ve ever done. Personalized number plates with chip timing, never seen that before. And the feed stops were insane, so much food and jugs of Gatorade. Made it easy to travel light. I’ll be back next year!
    Was Benny there?

    Wish I could find a picture of that bike, but I'm guessing it didn't survive the Great Purge.

    But get a load of this...

    I agree. I mean no matter how many imitations spring up we should agree that you have to actually be in New York State in order to be in Upstate New York.

    Yet, someone on here wanted to put the southern most parts of Upstate NY, mostly south of the Southern Tier I-86 or Rt 17 as being in PA...

    Last call for any of you tech dudes that are gonna work for Micron in Clay.
    Sounds like there is already a bidding war (I believe it was underpriced by $100k)

    We had a lobster trap coffee table for about 10 years. Didn't have those fancy feet though.

    My crazy uncle used to make those in Madison, CT. He would get em cheap as hell, or find them, refinish them, and sell them to the NY and Boston weekenders for like $150, or something stupid way back in the mid sixties. It was a lot of money for a townie.
    He bought a little ‘camp’ house down on the water by Hammonasset Beach with the proceeds of that and other artsy things.
    He sold that piece of property for a small fortune in the big economic boom of the ‘80s.
    He had a big tattoo of a question mark on his right arm, which he would never tell people what it meant, so lots of people made up different rumors. But it was really because he was big of a peacenik after Korea, and it supposedly meant ‘question authority’.
    At least that’s what he told my mom.
    The mystery of it all was contagious to this 13 year old.

    that person likely drinks keystone light, or maybe it's the actual keith stone?

    I would allow the oddball slice of rt.17 near waverly, that actually dips into PA, to be claimed as PA.
    But one could also argue the other way; and claim that slice [of PA] as part of the southern tier...

    It’s a good neighborhood.

    I actually wouldn’t be surprised if someone scraped it and built something big and modern, but the 100+ year old farmhouse part gives it a cool modern/retro feel, IMO.
    The biggest issue is that the kitchen is crap, basically a galley.
    My thought was to completely re-configure it, and make that large library/office space into an amazing open kitchen/place where everyone hangs zone.
