2025 Lower Hudson Valley Road Meet - May 3, 2025

[dgolub]

All right, so I'm planning to host a meet this spring in Westchester and Rockland counties in the Hudson Valley of New York State.  Major points of interest will likely include both of the bridges over the Hudson River in this area, Bear Mountain, and Kensico Dam Plaza.  Please vote on which dates are good for you.

Honestly, I have no idea, other than I should be available 4/5.  4/26 I will still be recovering from Easter and saving my energy for a civil service test, 5/3 is the weekend the test is on so it would be highly dependent on which day I was assigned (and even if I was assigned 5/4, that would eliminate my ability to sleep in that weekend at all), 5/10 and 5/17 are middle weekends in the hectic month of May where I'll probably want to save my energy, and 5/24 is Memorial Day, which is usually a straight no-go with Rochester travel, but I'm not 100% sure of that this year since there's a family wedding less than a week later, so maybe we won't be doing that this year.

This year is just a mess of chaos for me.  And this is also an example of how I'm really hobbled by my constant exhaustion and need to sleep in on both weekend days to preserve full mental functioning.

EDIT: Also worth noting, 5/3 is the Mobile City Meet, so there might be some traveling for that.

I do have a chance of going on May 24th because I'm finally back in the Northeast (yay to graduating from Purdue!)

Best vote, then.

I'm available on 4/5, 5/3, and 5/10.

Really, really hoping one of those dates wins as I have commitments with Rainey in MD on 4/26 and 5/17, and I'm unavailable now on 5/24 as I'm having surgery on 5/21.

I've been really looking forward to this meet - I absolutely love the Lower Hudson Valley!!!

Very interesting vote results so far.

This may be doable for me, depends on which weekend as I do have toy shows lined up for a couple weekends in April

Indeed. Pretty even distribution.

All right, since we've got a tie between two dates, I'm breaking it by going with 5/3 since that's the one that's not right before Mother's Day.  The Facebook event is up: https://www.facebook.com/events/528672570253934

I was waiting on this meet's date to be chosen before choosing the date for mine so I will relook into that over the next few days.

Another meet I have to miss because of the stupid exam I have to take that weekend...

Talked it over with my wife, better chance now that we will try to make it, outside of the Tappan Z we never really explored this part of New York, will know for sure as we get closer to the date.

Hi everyone, looks like I will be attending this solo, unfortunately Steph has to work now that Saturday but I am good to go with my job, driving up on Friday and leaving Sunday, plan to pick up where I left off with US6 in New York and plan to clinch all of US 209 in Pennsylvania on my drive home.

Although we did finally buy a new car (yay not worrying about my car dying on the way to a roadmeet), our finances and my PTO have both been wiped out by this &$#*@% move (shakes fist at former landlord).  Given how quickly this is coming up, it's likely to be a no from me.
