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:

April 18: Wichita, KS city meet (AJ Bertin)
TBD: Newark, DE mini-meet (DE 896 flyover ramps) (Laura B)
May 16: Harrisburg-Hershey PA meet (Jason Ilyes)
June 6: Middletown, NY (rain date June 13) (A. Moss)
June 27: Hunterdon bridge meet (me)
July 25: Bi-County Tri-State, IL (Brandon)
Mid-August?: Frederick, MD (Saturday) and Harpers Ferry (Sunday) (Laura B)
October: Monterey / Big Sur (Tom)
October: Rochester, MN (Nikolai)

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

Oh?

[Roadgeek Adam]

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.

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!)

[CoreySamson]

This would not be a 2026 meet, but I'm highly considering hosting a Houston or Corpus Christi roadmeet at some point in the next few years. I'm going to go through some big life changes in the next year (graduation, grad school, likely new job, etc.), so we'll see if I'm in a place to host in several months. I'm tentatively aiming for the Jan/Feb 2027 timeframe for when that meet would happen. Houston in particular is the largest city in the US where we haven't had a meet yet, so I'd be excited to host!

Aw, appreciated and logged.

This is still to be finalized, but I was thinking of doing something in the fall of 2026.  The Shawangunk Ridge (NY) and Litchfield County (CT) are both possibilities.

So far May 16 is the winner and will more then likely be the set date, I will make it official next month including a FB event page, I need to get in touch with the restaurant I plan on doing lunch to make sure they can accommodate a potentially large party which should not be a problem.

I think you trimmed out an end quote tag.

Yeah your right, oops  Either way stay tuned on her and my facebook page for the final and official event page 

[Brandon]

We can add the Bi-County Tri-State Meet (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=36768.0) to the list, most likely in July, but make your vote early and often.

[jpi]

And I have officially finalized May 16, 2026 for my road meet, I will be modifying my post\ thread later this week

[SSOWorld]

It's pretty much 2026, so let's stick this up.

[Laura]

I'm going to need to postpone my Newark, DE meet/house rewarming. There's a lot going on in my extended family right now and I will need to wait until things are more stable.

[Max Rockatansky]

Monterey/Big Sur is now a go for October.  I updated that specific thread a couple minutes ago.

[Nikolai]

I'll be hosting a road meet in Rochester, Minnesota in September or October.

[vdeane]

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

Just curious, is this still on and getting closer to narrowing down a date?  I just got asked something regarding the month of August and Hunterdon County is starting to narrow down, so just checking up on the other meet I've been keeping and eye on.
