Friday me and my dad will be riding up to Americade, and we have a couple people meeting us @ Fast Trac gas station (Corner of Rt29 & Rt30 in Perth/Amsterdam) at 10AM. From there we’ll be heading up to Lake George via the Sacandaga Dam route. If anyone wants to go up to Americade for the day, feel free to meet us there to ride up as a group. There will be cruisers, and sport bikes so ride within your limits. I’ll definitely have the GoPro rolling. ---

Weather keeps changing. Friday looks nicer than Saturday at the moment, though both days look nice. It’s the gas station directly across the street. Definitely not crummy, it’s pretty large. ---

Just watch out for the “Motorcycle Safety Checkpoints” for your protection to keep you safe from your after market exhaust and license plate mounting location…:rofl ---

Went up today, no rain…however it was actually pretty calm up there, not over crowded compared to opening days of previous years. A few less vendors also, mainly due too higher rental prices for booths. Went up rte 40 to 149, but took 87 home and there wasn’t any checkpoints on either side of the northway. Havent heard anything about them this year either so who knows! ---

Well I’ll be going around the lake and there have never been checkpoints the way I go. Once you get into town, you’re pretty much safe anyways. ---

No, I read it. My statement stays. It doesn’t help that it’s rained every day for the last week either. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/americade-on-friday/263983.md?page=2)
