Seacoast 'Mystery' Ride - July 14th - 9:00am

[loudbeard]

Stay well clear of Rt. 175 as it's got a fresh coat of pavement which will make you miss your bike all the more ...

Ugh. Unfortunately it was unavoidable. Had to drive down 175 to get to our place. Sexy.

[Marc R]

I just had an operator error, with the calendar.

ya know, I'll be back for more DucDave rides

BUMP - !

This should be a great day. Get your long legs on...300 plus miles!! Guest leader, couple of surprise stops! Bring your cameras too..!

[Dean_T]

Is the Shell gas station (158) up the street still there?

[nhbubba]

Yes. I filled up there before the last seacoast ride.

[Kenn157]

Home at last! 310 miles! Dispute the sciatic nerve in my right ass check and leg it was a great ride! Thank you Seacoast/ Adam for buying our lunch. Cheese lead the way with Dave doing sweep. Thank you very much guys!

Home at last with ice on my lower back and Shock Top in my right hand with a slice of orange of course

[trider143]

Dave, what freebie did you ride?

[No Quarter]

Yes, a good day. Even though I only got to ride half the ride, it was nice to see everyone. I still managed to get in 250 miles. Also got to spend the afternoon with the grandkids. Good day!

[jasnmar]

401.7 miles (which I know is wrong but that's not the point) according to the odometer.

Note to self... if you've only ridden a sport bike 2 times before, don't do a 400 mile ride.

Thanks to all. Seacoast for lunch, Cheese for leading. Dave for sweeping.

I'm especially in awe of the ability for someone to ride pillion on an RC51 for over 400 miles. That's astounding!

Great day overall. I'm exhausted ...

[Nguyen.gixxer]

Just got home!! I did 453 miles today started from my place. Thankyou guys for a great ride.

[LiterR1]

Total Miles for today ? I have no idea but it is probably between 600+ or 700+
It was a good start to a day which started foggy turned to sunny and very hot by lunch time (& Rain), but that did not matter since it was a good day out with the regular crew and some new faces. thank you to Seacoast for the lunch, Dave ,Leader and Sweep.

[nhbubba]

Good seeing everyone. I neglected to reset the GPS this morning, but if my math is correct, I am pretty sure I laid on just under 400 miles myself.

Thanks to the usual suspects: Dave and Cheese. Thanks to Seacoast for lunch.

Good times.

[Dean_T]

I took off at 170 miles into the ride. Added another 110 miles getting home. First ride for me this season after taking the bike off the trickle charge and had it inspected yesterday. Great ride, thanks everyone for the company and lunch.

[nhbubba]

Dean, I'm sorry, but you're totally doing it wrong!

Did any of you poor southern types get caught up in that traffic on 93. I completely forgot it was "race weekend". That looked shitty. Glad I opted to go north and home via Rt 4.

Yes I did
but I got to ride side by side with a No 14 Tony Stewart Convoy for a while.

[Cheese]

I wasn't sure about the ride karma when we started out with COMM issues and then shortly thereafter my zipper decided to let go from the bottom turning my safety gear into a cape. That quickly turned around when I spared the suicide chipmunk and then the suicide turtle and for that we were denied performance awards throughout the day.

Thanks Dave for sweeping and the honor of leading your route although I need to slap my GPS for the "shortcut" through Manchester which was a traffic light disaster. It did find a little gem of a mountain road after the Floating Bridge so I guess I'll keep it.

Obviously a big thanks to Seacoast for the free lunch.

The rest of the group that merrily followed me for various mileages, thanks for keeping it safe back there. See you on the next Seacoast ride!

Who was THAT GUY whom called out he was out of gas 80 miles into the ride?

[nhbubba]

Didn't use the camera much. But here are some highlights from what I did take:


One two of these things are not like the others..

[golden chicken]

Thanks everyone for putting on a great ride and for lunch. I figure I rode about 440 miles today. Dave and I got caught on 93 for a bit, but it wasn't awful.

[LiterR1]

Some from the Camera some from the Phone

[dontpanic]

Got home at 8:15 after 416 miles. Yes, I got stuck in the mess on 93, but it was compounded by a lane closure south of Concord for a crew putting up construction signs.

A big tip of the hat to Rob, and Dave, and to Seacoast for buying lunch. All in all, it was a magnificent day!

[DucDave]

Dave, what freebie did you ride?

A Multistrada GP....felt pretty familiar!

ME -

[Eric Baker]

Great day, if not a little long. Right about 400 miles, and just minutes short of 12 hours. I ended up taking a long scenic route home from the floating bridge that took me 4 hours. Saddle sore to say the least. Felt awesome getting out there for my first big ride of the year.

Thanks Dave and Cheese! Great seeing some old and new faces! And Kenn, I'm glad you could make it despite your back.

ME -

Didn't I tell you that "0" means "0" on the MTS DTE/Range gauge?

[SwiftTone]

I'm especially in awe of the ability for someone to ride pillion on an RC51 for over 400 miles. That's astounding!

Yes my asistant rider is amazing. This is actually the most miles we've done together in 1 day. Actually this might be the most I've done on my own also.

We clocked in just under 450 miles when we got home in Boston. I think it's time for a sports touring bike

Thanks to Cheese for leading and Dave for sweeping after us. Thanks for Seacoast for a lunch; it was very generous of them.

Glad everyone rode within their limits and that we had no incidents.

[Dean_T]

You're right Colin. I wish I could ride more, earlier and often but I have too many obligations. Hope to ride with you guys again soon.

Dean, I'm sorry, but you're totally doing it wrong!
