**shannon9339** · 08-29-06, 07:50 PM

I am sure I will be out this weekend. I have to work Friday, but I am sure we will be closing up early with the holiday weekend and all. So once the weather is firmed up a bit more, I am ready to ride

**ChicknStripEatr** · 08-30-06, 10:50 AM

If no rain Sunday or Monday, a few of us will be riding up from RI heading up 140 towards the Wachusett Res. then 62 west out around the Quabbin. I'll post up specifics as the time gets closer and the forecast becomes more definate.

Cool, I am just off 146 if you are coming up that way from RI. Let me/us know

Weather could go either way at this point as I understand.

**ChicknStripEatr** · 08-31-06, 11:05 AM

Considering the weather forecast changes every 30 mins...

The best times (so far) to ride seem to be Saturday morning or Monday morning. I have no specifc roads in mind. We will jump on 140 off of 16 in Milford and head north towards Wachusett, that I am sure of, for all those that are interested. Let's see what the weather does 1st.

**Josephd14** · 08-31-06, 06:34 PM

Let me know if you are stopping anywhere when you get up around the Woooocester area i'm pretty close to the Resevoir..

**Half Squid** · 08-31-06, 09:31 PM

Saturday is looking like the only day for a ride.

I will be around, but haven't decided just what I will be doing??

**shannon9339** · 08-31-06, 09:40 PM

weather continues to change. Just watched 3 totally different forecasts on 3 different channels. But the route sounds good. I work right on 140 and 16 in Milford, so I can meet you somewhere around there if we go (or futher north on 140 too). Keep us posted :-)

**vaa** · 08-31-06, 09:54 PM

Let's do it. Name the time and place to meet.

**Josephd14** · 08-31-06, 10:36 PM

2nd that!!, be really nice if i could stop being picky and pick out a new jacket, it's getting pretty cold out...

**breakdirt916** · 08-31-06, 11:15 PM

ugh...I'm never going to ride with you guys...this saturday I'm going to canada...

If anyone posts a ride on saturday ~6:30-8:30am, or possibly Monday, then I might be able to go, otherwise I'm out.

**Wishbone** · 09-01-06, 09:43 AM

so whats up? time place?

**ChicknStripEatr** · 09-01-06, 09:51 AM

Here it is....Meet Monday morning 9am sharp at the Mobil at exit 17 off of 495. It's right on 140.

From there we will travel 140 north to 70 onto 62 west out around the Quabbin. For anyone that is interested.

**vaa** · 09-01-06, 05:55 PM

So no half day ride tomorrow?

**Wishbone** · 09-01-06, 06:40 PM

wich half?

**vaa** · 09-01-06, 07:00 PM

I'd rather morning so there is less traffic and we don't get caught in the rain later on in the day.

I know right where that is. Weather permitting I will be there. I will post up definate Sunday sometime (in case the weather forcast changes again!)

How many are riding?

**breakdirt916** · 09-01-06, 10:07 PM

I'm out for the whole weekend

. Leaving saturday morning for canadia and coming home monday night...

I DID however ride into Boston tonight (Friday 9/1) to see friends, and although city riding sucks (dangerous, too much traffic, too many people, too many run red lights, too many lights to stop at, etc.), I had a fun ride home:
-I was being really alert, and sharpening my manuevering skills and response time to dangers.
-1st & 2nd gears OWN the city...the powerband is well suited to the speeds you get to on the short stretches of road...you can get away from traffic/dangers in a heartbeat.
-I went down Comm Ave (owned by 1st/2nd gear)
-I went on the straight between the common/gardens (fun place to get a comfortable cruising speed)
-up beacon street (owned by 1st/2nd gear)
-I waited until traffic passed, then flew solo over the mass ave bridge (taking in the boston city-scape over the water)
-took memorial drive east to the Zachim bridge (also taking in the view)
-got onto storrow drive and rode it towards the end, turned around, and got off at kenmore (fun twsity road)
-went back to mass ave, got on the pike, and got on some wide-open, low-traffic highway roads w' a great view of the fenway lights on my left

That's my riding for the weekend...

P.S. The mass pike is SILKY smooth near Boston where it was repaved...

It looks like you're passing by I 190 in Sterling. I wouldn't mind joining you guys if there's time to pick up a straggler.
