Gauging interest - Ride to first LRRS race day of 2010

[The Snowman]

I wanted to head up to Loudon for the 4/24 races, since a few friends will be doing the rookie race.

Is this a DucDave ride day? For this, I would gladly slab to the usual start spot of the BK off exit 4 I93 in Londonderry, NH.

What say the collective?

The dave ride is on the 25th out of seacoast not BK, Femmekat and I plan on going as long as the weather holds.

Oh well, guess I'll find a different route then.

Cool. I'll try and come up with something. Maybe Dave's route, which I remember some of.

glad you do, i just remember it being a nice ride

I'm going on the 25th as well out of Seacoast... Will be getting dyno'd. Let's see how much HP the Stinger can muster.

I have a fairly good memory for directions.

Last season, when I took the family up there, we missed Dave by 15 minutes, because of an incident on the way up (a medivac helicopter landed on I495 because of a fatal motorcycle crash during a charity ride, which we came upon).

I got up there and met the crew at the Lion about 10 minutes after they arrived.

good deal, breakfast burritos ftw!

I may have to work Saturday, but if not, I was planning on riding up to the races on Saturday. What time Chuck? Part of my plan is also to stop at Seacoast either on the way up or home.
If I have to work Saturday, I'm going Sunday

[The Snowman]

Early, so we can stop for breakfast. Maybe 7ish from my area.

If I get my FI issue resolved count me in as well. I am going to mess with the bike today and try to load a new map, as well as check out other possible causes. Could just be the old gas I had in it.

I will be giving it a test run this afternoon! I took it out thiursday night with no issus, but Sat it would not stay running???

[Half Squid]

Ok I have the kinks worked out enough to where the bike runs perfectly. I am waiting for a responce from somebody that may have my answer as to why the FI light stays on. So THe bike is ridable either way for next weekend!

[The Snowman]

So, do either of you (Mark or Mike) know of a decent route from central MA up there? I'm so used to slabbing it up to meeting places in NH.

So far, I have 122 to 140 to 70 to 110 to 111. From there, I can't find anywhere to hit. Riding 3 up to Cord really sucks.

[R7]

I've been up there on backroads before, but can't remember the roads? I usually slab it just to get there and back, but a backroad trip would be nice.
I won't know for sure if I'm working or not Saturday until the end of the week.
I'll keep you posted.

[The Snowman]

Backroads from my place would take a little over 3 hours. Then ass stops for breakfast and gas. More like 4 hours.

[Half Squid]

I know a route to avoid the slab. Not your best backroads but it is far better than the highway. It' would take us 2.5-3 hours with stops, but not including a breakfast stop. The Breffis sounds good. Parkers Maple Barn could be made an on the way stop!

This sounds good. You're at the furthest point north of the three of us (hopefully, Mark won't have to work). Where should we meet to start?

[Danno]

I love Parker's and the surrounding roads but if you get there after 8 or before 1pm, it will take a while to get a table.

[Half Squid]

I'll look at a map and see what roads we will take around my area leading to the back routes. I have not gone to Louden from Northbrige yet.

Possibly the Big Gas station on 146N in Sutton with a Dunkins in it!

That works. Good to get some coffee in the system before riding.

[The Snowman]

Any news yet, Mark? Sunday's looking like a wash. So, it'd be Saturday or nothing.

Mike, how does kickstands up at 7:30am from The X-tra Mart/Dunkin' Donuts, northbound rt 146 Sutton/Millbury sound? Too early?

Anyone else interested? So far it's me, Mike, and Frank with Mark a possible. So, Mark would have to deal with riding with 3 Hondas.
