    2-up friendly ride, 5-11

    reviving an older thread. set this up before I realized it was Mother's Day, but several folk still showed an interest: Josh/Rach, beet, Matt K, SV1KScott.

    Not looking to set any speed or endurance records-- prolly no more than a coupla hundred miles (at most) at a relaxed pace... anyone who wants to play is welcome ('specially if you know any good routes starting from MM ).

    who's in?

    2-up friendly ride, 5-11

    Since my accident, I've refrained from riding on Mother's Day. But I got the 'okay, clear' from Cheryl last night to go ahead if I wanted to go riding...

    I'm seriously thinking of breaking the chains of NOT riding on that day. If that's the case, I'd be happy to show ya'll some southern/western NH roads. I don't ride 'em much anymore, so there's a chance we'd end up doing some circles while I try to remember my way...

    I don't care about the destination, It’s the journey that counts.

    OK, here's the tentative game plan: meet up at MM @ 10:30, hammer out a route, take some tasty twisties at a relaxed pace, stop somewhere for lunch, log some more miles... break off and head back where we came from.

    time can be shifted, if necessary...

    "2-up friendly" just refers to the pace (and more frequent stops) that having a pillion dictates... anyone is welcome to join us.

    won't be on the board much today (I have, uh, other activities slated for today), but will check in tonite/tomorrow AM to see if anyone else chimes in... so we can be on the lookout for ya.

    1: MM=motomarket, it's a kinda swanky motorcycle gear shop in acton, or rt. 2a, the metro-west crew and others in the general area use it as a meeting point for a lot og rides. If you need directions from somewhere, we can probably hook you up.

    2: I MIGHT be able to come on this thing, but I'm probably going up to NH tonight and gonna spend tomorrow there. I dunno though. I'll let you guys know if it turns out I can come.

    likewise back atcha nice to meet the infamous SoCal Skeetcher, as well...

    after all the comings and goings, we ended up w/ 5 folk on 3 bikes. didn't discover any new, super-secret routes... but had a grand ole time violating the NH border

    hope y'all enjoyed it as much as Pratiti and I did, and we'll definitely hook up again

    (provided I survive the trip to ole Mexico )

    Hard to avoid the water. I thought that if I didn't drink the water I'd be fine. Well let's see the ice, the coffee is from the same water, doh! Just enjoy your time there.
