2026 road meets

[Alps]

The news about A-85 gave me a jump start on the thought of getting this new thread moving. So, with everything that's been posted so far, we have:

February?: Newark, DE mini-meet (DE 896 flyover ramps) and house re-warming. (Laura B)
April 18: Wichita, KS city meet (AJ Bertin)
May: Harrisburg-Hershey PA meet (Jason Ilyes)
June 6: Middletown, NY (rain date June 13) (A. Moss)
October?: Rivière-du-Loup? (moi, avec l'aide)
October: Frederick, MD (Saturday) and Harpers Ferry (Sunday) (Laura B)

Oh?

Already noted, Middletown NY, June 6 (rain date June 13). Haven't officially announced

[Max Rockatansky]

Depending on how the reopening of CA 1 in Big Sur goes I might do a Monterey area meet.  I'd prefer 2027 but it probably is best to drag my feet and another slide happens.

Though the poll on my meet date ends in early December, more then likely the date for my meet will be Saturday May 16 

[Laura]

I'd like to get a mini-meet and a two day meet on the calendar:

Winter 2026: Newark, DE mini-meet (DE 896 flyover ramps open) and house re-warming party. Date will be determined on how quickly I'm able to unpack and get the townhouse set up!

October 2026: Frederick, MD meet (Saturday) plus bonus Harpers Ferry National Historical Park visit (Sunday)

Winter 2026 for the mini-meet?  A year from now?

Winter 2026 as in Jan-Feb-March 2026! I'm aiming for February 2026 and will set a date when I have a better feel for how long it will take me to finish unpacking.

Best moderation decision ever.

The news about A-85

...

October?: Rivière-du-Loup? (moi, avec l'aide)

Intriguing.  I doubt I could do both this and Frederick (even if I wasn't crowding my vacation time as it is, I have a wedding to attend that month, putting a crimp in my availability), but it's definitely on my radar.  I've wanted to see A-85 for a long time now and this would be the perfect excuse (especially since, if I was interpreting said news correctly, it should be possible to fully clinch at that point, even if construction won't be 100% complete).

Also looking at attending Harrisburg (as long as it's not one of the weekends tied for second, I expect to be there, though that's of course subject to change if something comes up), and Middletown is an easy daytrip.

Yeahhhh, I've noticed the crossover conflict so I'm moving Frederick to mid-August.

Also, because my late February weekends are already committed to other things, I'm going to move the mini-meet to early March (and yes, I still see that as winter lol, check out my replies in the break off thread!)

[kphoger]

early March (and yes, I still see that as winter ...)

I should hope so.  Spring doesn't begin till more than halfway through March.

We should poll people to see if they think February is part of winter or not.

Officially seasons are defined as the period from one solstice/equinox to the next, but if you think about it, those days should be the MIDDLE of their seasons, not the beginning. The longest 91 days of the year are centered around June 20, not beginning with it.

Someone will probably correct me if I got my math wrong, but this would mean that, by your reckoning:

03 FEB 2026 — begin Spring
05 MAY 2026 — begin Summer
06 AUG 2026 — begin Autumn
06 NOV 2026 — begin Winter
