Sun 20 Sep Western Ma Ride

[EJLemo]

So anyone interested in riding this Sun? Just putting out a feelier for interest.

[sdog30]

I might be available for a morning ride.

Threw a new battery in the CBR and it seems to have fixed all my issues. Took it for a spin up 116 yesterday, Westfield today and I'm headed out to Boston tomorrow night, seems to be running good.

Even throwing a temporary rear sprocket on tomorrow to get me through the rest of the season, chain was spinning like crazy today every time I got on it. Crappy Vortex.

Anyways, You want to meet in the morning, I could probably do a half day.

[Cougar296]

I'm interested.

[EJLemo]

Meeting spot is the center of Belchertown. Intersection of rt202 and rt181. There is a parking lot right next to the town common. Ride starts at 9am Sharp. Going to the Vanilla Bean. Im going to have to look at a map. It has been a bit since I went there. See you there Cougar and Sdog30. Lone wolf will meet us there as well.

[mdncosta]

what do you guys have in mind for routes and destination?

[EJLemo]

Hello MIke. I am not going to post up the roads. I dont want Jonny blue lights to know the route. We are going to ride from Belchertown to the Bean in CT. Do you know where that is? As of now there looks like to be about 5 people going. We are not squids on bikes and we with ride good gear for protection. If you would like to ride with us please join us. Some of us only will be able to ride just a few hours because of plans. Others will ride longer.

[sdog30]

Shred-it up bitches!!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. See you guys tomorrow morning. Should be a beautiful, sunny, 70° day.

[csmutty]

Looks like I will be able to go tomorrow. The Vanilla Bean is 5 mins from my house so this works out great!

[EJLemo]

See you all in the morning. We are going riding.

[sdog30]

Awesome.
















sorry

[EJLemo]

Yea no shit. Not only was it cold as fuck but I couldn't see shit with the slight drizzle and all the friggin fog haha. But other than that the ride was great

Thanks for having me guys. Can't wait to do it again soon.

[Cougar296]

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it...I was looking forward to a nice ride this morning. I had a somewhat late night and I've had my face buried in this aerospace fluids assignment all fuckin day.

Maybe next time.

[mycirus]

Did you guys make it to the bean? I was there a little after 12 but wasnt sure if there was anyone from NESR there?

[EJLemo]

Lets see I left my house a 8am to ride to Belchertown and the temp was 37 DAM COLD. We had five riders show up. Csmutty lives around the Bean so we asked if he would show us some roads around his way he agreed. So off the the bean we go south on Rt 181 out of Belechertown center. Only to be engulfed by fog. Did I mention it was 37 Degrees DAM COLD. Once we got down into Palmer the sun finally burned off the fog. Went to the Vanila Bean for breakfast and road around Pomfret CT. Had a great day with all. Look forward to doing it again. Sorry Cougar you missed it. We will catch you on another ride.

[sdog30]

Yeah, it was fun. The fog only lasted a half-hour, turned out to be beautiful.

My new standard for a great ride is one that my battery doesn't die and gas doesn't run out of my bike while I'm holding it at 5k rpm's to keep it running...sooo....AWESOME RIDE!!

All kidding aside, had fun riding with you guys, great breakfast, cool rides at The Bean.

We usually ride in this area once a week or two, so just look out for posts titled w. mass rides or from ejlemo or I.

Usually a good time, everyone is welcome. I just bought pants and boots maybe a month ago. Definitely a good idea to at least wear a jacket and jeans, though. We usually ride fairly hard and are fully geared, but anyone is welcome.

Any plans for a ride this week? The weather for Friday/Saturday is looking pretty good at the moment.

I'm free tomorrow (Tuesday) if you want to hook up. Maybe Friday, but I doubt it. I'll have my kids all weekend, so I'm out for next weekend.

[GNTurbo6]

Got my license back today. I am not used to riding at all now but a group ride would be great.
