Year-by-year for me:

< 2016: 0
2016: 1 (Corridor H)
2017: 0
2018: 1 (Golden Spike)
2019: 0
2020: 0
2021: 0
2022: 1 (Philly)
2023: 1 (so far) (History of US1/US40 in Harford County, MD)

Grand total: 4.  Average per year: 0.5.

It's tough for me since my wife isn't really a roadgeek, and so I always end up going alone and feeling guilty about leaving her behind, ESPECIALLY over two-day meets.  Also, I usually don't have the funds and/or available time off from work to travel, so I end up sticking VERY close to home.  (When I did Corridor H, I lived in Maryland.  In 2018, I started working in the Philly area and commuting weekly from Maryland, which put a huge damper on ALL of my hobbies, but Golden Spike was too rare an opportunity to pass up.  I moved to Philly in late 2021.)

I’ve never gone to one. I might consider if it weren’t too far away, but I probably wouldn’t go out of the way to go to one. Any plans for a KW road meet?

So I have down attending 27 since 2013 (with 9 just in 2022).  I am not counting Laura's baby shower in 2019 or my recent ride with Alex Nitzman in FL last month.

2013-Pikeville, KY (1)
2016-Central PA and Albany, NY (2)
2017-Beckley, WV, NYC (Goethals Bridge), Northern DE (US 301) (3)
2018-CSVT and Salamanca, NY (2)
2019-Newburyport, MA (1)
2020-Utica, NY, Morris County, NJ, Greensboro, NC (3)
2021-Quad Cities, Wilmington, DE, Cleveland, OH, Atlantic Beach, NY (though for the last one, I was only there for the afternoon pizza gathering) (4)
2022-Natchez, MS, Meriden, CT, Outer Banks, NC, Lynchburg, VA, Chicago, IL, Raleigh/Durham, NC, Amsterdam, NY, Philadelphia, PA (Day 1 only), Shrewsbury, PA (9)
2023-Long Island, NY, Columbus, OH (2)

Updating 2023 to show myself now at 32 road meets.  Lancaster, PA, would be number 33 for me.

2023-Long Island, NY, Columbus, OH, Harford County, MD, Little Rock, AR, Buffalo, NY, Peoria, IL, Cumberland, MD (7)

If I were in Key West I wouldn’t have had to leave my bike at work last night because the lock was frozen in a block of ice.

Depends on where.  Michiganders and western New Yorkers might get it.  Albertans might not.

Kids have killed me traveling anywhere far for a road meet, and since the southeast is a road meet desert these days, it means little to no road meets for me.
