Please join the Yankee Beemers for our annual Lime Rockz Rally at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT, Friday August 14th to Sunday August 16.
There is nothing quite like camping on a bucolic race course. During the day there is a ton of action with sports car clubs, skid pad antics, access to pits and the wonderful sounds of internal combustion engines. If you prefer to ride the area, including New York is filled with great twisty fast roads and wonderful scenery. Ah, but the evenings are just the opposite where the camping is on fine grass with new bathrooms nearby, the park is surrounded by hills and you may be serenaded to sleep by the sound of coyotes...

Great rally, great riding area in Northwest Ct and NY. This event is growing each year and I'm looking forward to it again this year. Come check this one out, you won't be disappointed!
 
Let's get a motorcycle track day there and I'm in!

Hey, you never know, parade laps today, maybe real track days in the future. It's not just about the track but the whole rally, which is put on by the Yankee Beemers in support of Survive the Drive. I see you are in Pawling, fairly near by, stop in and see us!
 
I might stop by. Parade laps do not sound appealing to be honest. Not gonna rain on anyone's parade though. Not too far from there is NY rt 44, 343 and NY Dutchess County rt 9, 23 and 24 near Millbrook. These are potentially knee/footpeg dragging roads if ridden with "enthusiasm". Very scenic if ridden at a more relaxed pace or so l am told.
 
Also, about an hour away is BigW's barbecue in Wingdale, NY. Absolutely awesome food and a sampler for 2 will feed 4 to 5 people.
