Concord, NH - Short ride this week??

[RyanNicholson]

I'm thinkin meet at the irving at the end of 89 in concord, slab it out to hillsboro and head down 202 through antrim, bennington, head to francistown, new boston, goffstown, back around to manchester or something. (its a pretty sweet route i do a lot).

meet Thursday like 5pm?

[reiobard]

I might be up for that route this weekend but i work until 5:30 on thursday in Merrimack, I might be able to meet up with you in New Boston or something somewhere since i am heading up there from Merrimack...

[RyanNicholson]

i'm completely open that night....i only suggested 5 cuz thats when i get out. whatever works for everybody else is fine with me.

[reiobard]

What is your "pace"? Keira might be up for a jaunt and then meet here at 5:30 and then we can take some roads heading back north...

[RyanNicholson]

nothing crazy....just lookin to get some people together to ride/socialize. I stay pretty mellow on the street

[KillBill]

I was just on that route this morning, actually 202, 123.

Beautiful roads and well maintained. I actually encountered a MOOSE this morning though on 123.

WHEW - it was close!

[RyanNicholson]

i love that ride (i forget the exact road #'s but i know it well)....but its a reall fun short ride

[mzdagrl]

Yeah I am definitely up as long as it is a tame pace. Nothing too crazy, I haven't ridden much this year and feel a little slow lately. We can meet at the Irving at 5, I assume you mean the one at Bow Jct.

Hmm, I may be down for this. I'm supposed to golf, but my league is done, so it's just a 'fun night', so it doesn't matter if I miss it. If my buddy doesn't golf, I'll come.

Either way, I'll post in here tomorrow to confirm/deny. I got some new gloves though, and I've been wanting to try them out.

[reiobard]

just let me know where and when i can meet up leaving from Merrimack at 5:30

If you reverse this route, we'd run into eachother eventually.. Probably around 6:00 or so, maybe somewhere around Francistown/Bennington?

Hmm...

[reiobard]

that works for me, but i think i will be coming from this way, slight change for you guys to stay on 114

[Fantastipotamus]

Maybe someone who knows the route better could suggest a place to meet up, so we don't do the old 'Meet you somewhere along this 20 mile stretch of highway'.

I'm sure there'd be a gas station/store in Francestown, and whomever got there first could just wait.

Given that we've got a 30min head start on you, we'd probably be through Hillsborough by the time you left, so that puts us at about equal distances.

[mzdagrl]

Well, I kinda know Rob pretty well, so maybe when we get southish we can stop and I can give him a call. If we end up in Goffstown(ish) around 630, then that would probably be best to meet.

[Fantastipotamus]

Yeah, I suppose if you know him pretty well, you can arrange that. Make sure you exchange cell phone numbers and stuff before we leave though.


......

And I'm in for tonight.. but we do need to confirm. Is it:
1) The station off the Bow exit (exit 1 off 89) or
2) The station on Rt 3 by the car dealerships at the end of 89?

I don't remember which one of #2 is the Irving, I think it's the western-most one.

Last night NinjaSwan, his brother and I hit route 136 . You can pick it up off route 13 in New Boston. Def. a great road !

[RyanNicholson]

lets make it the irving on 3A by grappone at 5....(its a pretty standard meet up place).

whatever you guys wanna do from there is fine w/ me!

[KillBill]

Agreed, I'm headed home from work at 4, changing, then heading down.
