The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Timberridge]

Yeah, it was an eye opener for sure, out of the 67 miles I think only like five of those were on pavement. Ton of climbing also, almost 7,000 feet of vert. The rain the night before killed the dust but made the gravel a wheel sucking suffer-fest. There was also 3 longish single track sections, one of which hugged a beautiful lake. 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?
Custom Serrotta w/64cm seat tube and a backpack full of free empanadas from one of the food stops.

That made me laugh, well played Timber. 64cm frame, ha!

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...

It’s fucked up opinions like that got his ass banned from this place….

To think that man spent 50,000+ posts of his life here.

Benny still livin' rent free...
This fringe northern Pennsyltucky / Upstate nonsense does need to die though.

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.

Yes. Keep your upstates out of Vermont.

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...

[m2711c]

that is correct.







i have spoken.

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.

[rideit]

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...

A friend from jr high lived pretty much right behind that house on Bradford Lane

[rideit]

I probably peed in his yard late at night.
It’s a good neighborhood.

[Timberridge]

Good lawd. That house is hideous. It deserves to be peed on.

This is awesome.

what’s old is new again… maximum stupor should be back on the hipster radar any day now.







giggity.

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.

As Fred said swill - sure feels right at $3.99 a rack.
Icy little bombs.
