Any rides in RI or Southeastern MA?

[FriskyDingo]

A casual ride and somehow managed 90 miles Not bad seeing the forcast was for rain all weekend

a positive weather screw up for once, rain predicted all weekend yet I got 65 miles yesterday & 75 today.

is up with the squirrels this year,I had over 20 of them do the "Dance of death" in front me today, I missed all of them but they seem nuttier this year one of them changed direction 5 times before he got off the road.

I managed 65 or 70 today, I'm pretty happy with the way the weekend turned out.

Yeah, I've heard that the squirrels are being over active cause its going to be a bad winter and they're getting ready for it. Not sure if I believe it, but not looking forward to running one over either. I swear there is a fresh squirrel pancake somewhere on my daily drive everyday!

we were talking about it on the way back from NH today. It is being dubbed the "Meat Streets" and is heralding a crazy winter.

at least thats the theory of a bunch of overtired downhillers.

If it is sunny this week im down to ride after work...

Had to convince my brother to ride today, headed out on our cruisers about 1pm, mostly two-laners at a good clip, 6 or so stops, got home around 7... almost 300mi.

And "Yes!" the squirrels are really manic, chipmunks too.
Nearly got one yesterday in my truck, my poor dogs almost came into the cab through the slider when I nailed the brakes.
Couldn't even guess how many dead ones seen on the road today.

I subscribed to the thread so now I'll get emails when someone posts up to see if others wanna ride!

(Ben, you pass here on your way home where I am on your way home. I'd be down to rip some afternoon!)

My brother lost his black Hein Gericke cordura jacket today (size XXL Tall, I think.)
Fell off his bike in eastern CT on Rtes. 198 or 44 near Eastford.

If anyone came across it, he'd be extremely happy to hear!

I saw a ton today as well, and 3 of them weren't so lucky. I gave up trying to brake/swerve to avoid them...the thump thump you get is probably safer for you and your bike.

I have an odd work schedual this week and may be free during the day for some local rides

[fineout]

if anyone is up for it, i am out of class at 2, you all pretty much have my number so text if you wanna go for a ride

@ RVT: I've had it since early summer and have already racked up almost 3k on it.

@ Fineout and khuygie: Hopefully I'll bump into you guys over there soon, I have TTh morning classes.

Squirrels everywhere around here, lots of turkey too.

BTW Carrs Pond Rd (West Greenwich, RI) lots of sand still in the right hand lane in the 90 degree left hander - 90 degree right hander (coming from Division Rd).

[fineout]

Anyone going riding today?

[Hammerspur]

Shawn, I'll meet you someplace if you'd like.
Need a little time, haven't douched yet, but that doesn't take long...
Sending PM.

[fineout]

Meeting at the gansett towers at 1, not sure where to yet, if you want to ride today, come meet us

[khuygie88]

Shawn, texted you. Will be out but will be riding 1-up,so I gotta get comfortable with that (been a while, and not much on this bike) I'll probably ride down 1A towards the wall, lame, boring, safe haha.

[R7]

I may be in for a quick ride, I have some errands to run first.
If I'm not there by 1 (white/red R1), chances are I got tied up and couldn't make it.

This is what you're calling the towers I'm guessing?

[khuygie88]

My guess is that he is talking about that or the "Tower" at Tower Hill Rd (Rt. 1) at Bridgetown road?

That was my first guess as well, then questioned it, the googled it. Only thing that came up with "gansett towers" is the picture above. No biggie if I miss it

[fineout]

Sorry guys, I meant the towers at the coast guard house near thhe beach, didn't mean to makke confusion

[fineout]

Steve, sorry we missed you, well have to get together again some time soon

My bad, I started the whole 'Tower' thing in the first place... should have been more specific...

For future reference can we all agree that the rendezvous point used is known as The Coast Guard House?
