I haven't been to one yet.
Neither have I...and I don't plan on going to one anytime soon.

2013 - 2*

Does this mean you hosted two meets in 2013? I attended your Dubuque meet that year but was there a second one you hosted that year?
I modified my post to help you out.😉

I waited a long time to finally begin attending meets.  Once I did, I found that I rather enjoy them.  Anyway, here is my not so impressive list:

2015- Utica, NY
(A long hiatus followed due to me working overnights)
2018- Shreveport, LA, Shamokin Dam, PA, "Golden Spike", Abandoned PA Turnpike, Lafayette, IN
2019- Providence, RI and Newburyport, MA (planned)
I had also planned on attending Pittsburgh and Milwaukee, but adulting got in the way.

It's going to be about 3-4 years before I attend any road meet for age related reasons. I would be interested in a meet somewhere in New England, as I have never been to that region.

No.

Hm.  Can't remember how many I've been to.

2008, Long Island was the first
A couple in Buffalo since then.
Then, the one in Schenectady/Amsterdam.

Something like that.

Met up with Roadgeeks at non-meet kinds of events as well, which is messing with my memory.

So far, I've attended 74 road meets since 2004.  However, I'm not sure anyone would want me to list them all.  LOL

Let's see, for me it was Cincinatti in 2020, Natchez and Iowa City in 2022 and my York area meet I hosted in September 2022 (that was planned for 2020 but needless to say got delayed) and that is all I have attended since the pandemic, I am planning on North Little Rock this year but not sure after that.

74??!! That is impressive! I think I have been to about 3 dozen meets since 2005 and that includes the half dozen I have hosted over the years in PA and TN

Sure why not

2009 - 1
2010 - 4
2011 - 10
2012 - 5
2013 - 8
2014 - 8
2015 - 6
2016 - 4
2017 - 6
2018 - 4
2019 - 12
2020 - 1
2021 - 2
2022 - 2
2023 - 0 so far, will become 1 in a couple weeks. No idea if I'll attend any others.


At this point I don't travel for work as much as I was in the 2017-19 timeframe, but I'm still honestly not that super into meet attendance anymore. I'll go to one if it's local or if it's somewhere I haven't had much of a chance to explore before... if my schedule permits.

The latter concern does get in the way of some things. For example I would like to attend the Little Rock meet, but as one of my cousins is getting married that weekend I cannot.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

May as well add my list

2016 - 3
2017 - 5
2018 - 5
2019 - 3
2020 - 1
2021 - 0
2022 - 0
2023 - Soon to be 1, maybe a second if the other CA meet happens
