Mt. Greylock Saturday October 10th

[Semper_Fi]

Sorry for the short notice but trying to squeeze in a ride between business trips.

Looking at going to Mt. Greylock area for lunch on Saturday.

Here's the thing - I don't know the area to know of a good place to suggest to meet for lunch.

Weather is supposed to be partly cloudy in the 50's

Who wants to meet there, and where?

Sounds like a possibility! Don't know where to eat around there either, I usually end up at DD's. I do recall that there is a hot dog diner of some sorts in N Adams.

First potential person in -

As more respond we should have a better idea of what to do.

I had a great breakfast at the Red Carpet Restaurant, 69 Park St, Adams, MA‎, at the end of September last year. Small store front place and I don't recall if there is a lunch counter or not, but there could have been. Good food, inexpensive.

Even if the Greylock road was open, there wasn't much point of going up the mountain that day.



This October day in 2006 was a much better choice (view to the west):

Wish I could go. Was there week before road opened in the spring. A few miles east of town on rte 2 on the Hairpin turn is a lunch spot with a great view. Forget the name but you can't miss it

Great - I am keeping my eye on this thread as it develops; and try to collate a plan as things progress.

Luis,

Got your PM, I might be persuaded to go if I can knock a couple things off the "honey-do" list before then

Last time I was out there it was with the COG guys a few years back in a cold rainstorm, see the pic below! I remember we went down off the mountain and rode to someplace not too far away for food but I doubt I would be able to find it now. There are places to eat in the area, can't vouch for how good they are though.

I assume you'd be heading out RT 2 from 495? if so, maybe we can plan to meet up somwhere around there, perhaps MotoMarket in Acton??

Ken - sounds like a plan - let's stay in touch.

I am goign to find out if my wife is going to take her bike or not.

The Rte 2 route sounds good


BTW - great picture looks inviting

My wife and I are planning on coming out. Got coverage for the store and looks like a go. Maybe we should all meet at the top of the mountain between 11:30 and noon and then we can go find someplace to eat from there.

[Semper_Fi]

Steve - great idea.

My wife will be going to.

We are checking the gps for eateries and will post later once we finish some searches.

I added it to my Facebook, to get some interest

i had a killer breakfast burrito at mcdonalds in Adams back in august


but if you can get to Jack's Hot Dog Stand it's cool, but be warned, it's got weird hours, from what i recall. you probably won't need to bring more than 8 dollars. there's also a good mexican place in williamstown, coyote flaco, i think, it's on 43, just a left off 2 as it goes through the college.

Are you in!!! Still rooting for the Soxs, how's NYC, gotta date for your wedding !
Luis & I are in - Luis is checking on RTRyder
Time & place - 495/2, 495/2A ?

My wife will be joining us.

She also found this place Freight Yard Pub Link

It looks like the crew from the east part of Mass (119240 (Joe)/RTRyder (Ken), my wife (Annemarie) and myself) will be meeting at the junction of 2 and 2A - there is a gas station there.

More can meet here or we can pick up/meet up with others along the way, if the routes converge.

From RTRyder's (Ken) information it is about a 3 hour ride from there, so I say we should meet at 800 and gather those who want to meet us and then take off at 830am.

That way we should be able to meet the rest at the top of Mt Greylock between 1130 and 1200

A rough plan would be to meet Oldhway (Steve) and others at Mt. Greylock as planned - Once there we can take a nice break, pictures etcetera and then head over to the place

The restaurant is 9.3 miles (24 minutes away) - according to google maps.

If this restaurant is appealing, I can call ahead and see if they take reservations, and if they do, reserve a couple of tables.
