    Twisted Throttle Open House & 10th Anniversary Party on Saturday, May 19th

    When: Saturday, May 19th, 2012, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
    Where: 570 Nooseneck Hill Rd., Exeter, RI 02822

    For those of you who have been at Twisted Throttle's Open House events in previous years will find this open house a bit different: new venue with a big parking lot, beautiful retail store, and soda bar...a long list of vendors and entertainment...raffles and free food if you register (online or at the door).

    All the info is here.

    Already registered for it!

    Teach Mcneil's gonna be there too. Not that I'm into the "stunting" thing but it'd still be cool to see.

    Slow race you say? I suppose I could swap in the stock Noodle Delivery Girl gearing onto the CRF70 and give that a shot...

    I made it to the semi finals after beign slower than Ken. In the Semi the bike was cold and I shut off the choke and the bike died into the race. I should have let it warm up more or kept the choke on. you live you learn.

    Possibility! Any Worcesterites want to make a day of it, do some riding afterward into CT?

    I Just did a Google Map search and found some back routes there, I don't know the roads but look better than the slab.

    Start point for Mass/Worcester Northern RI could be the McDonalds at the Junction of rt146 (Exit 1) & 146A.

    I set up a route to Twisted Throttle from the Vanilla Bean in Pomfret, CT and Springfield, MA with maps and GPX files. You can find them here: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/artic...eview/493/1/9/

    Half,

    I'd be interested if you form a ride. Not far from the "Woosta area".

    I go to RI 3 or 4 days every other week or so and stay in RI while I'm there.

    I'm in, though I may try and cross paths somewhere a bit south of 146A once you have a route figured out.

    depending on any feedback from others that may know better roads. This is what I found for a somewhat direct non Slab route.
    146A South
    rt104 to 104/5
    116 South
    117 West
    102 South
    left onto Nooseneck Hill rd.

    I can vouch for 116 on as good roads. There are some other creative ways to get here but that is a good one.

    Picking up 117 from 116 sucks.
    If you want Mike, get yourself and whoever else joins to the intersection of 116 and 12 and I'll take over from there if you want. If you take a right on 12, about 1/4 mile up on the right is a safe little pull off area to meet at. It's not as direct, but maybe a bit more fun.
    Just a side note, my pace is much more relaxed than it used to be

    While I'm just not doing group rides (of more than a couple bikes) these days, I might be up for this little jaunt. A "more more relaxed" pace is key for me.

    Time to be at that pull-off on 12?

    It's been years, Mark.

    I'll be there in the afternoon. Gonna try and take a half day off work. I will be coming from Springfield area if anyone wants to ride down. I could try to fanagle the day off.

    Sounds good Mark. I am also far more relaxed riding these days. I like my Ins and driving record the way it is!

    Anytime is good for me Sat. Depends on the group when they want to get there.

    It's up to you guys on the time, at a relaxed pace it may take us 45 minutes or so to get there from rt 12. I registered for lunch, so i'd like to grab a bite to eat and watch some of the stunt show.

    Ken, it has been years, be good to shoot the shit again and do some riding. I miss the old VBC lunch/after work rides
