Saturday June 5...Berkshire Ride..........


K.......Here's the deal. When I bought the VFR I started lookin for peeps who like ta ride. Ya know couple hundred+ miles. I found a group that likes ta do shit like that.

On June 5, 2004 we will be touring the western part of Massachusetts. It will for sure be an all day event but, I think it may fall a bit short of the last ride. but I think it will be a fun ride.

If any one is interested I will PM a link that will give youz the details.

Wayne

Sounds great! I'm in Fitchburg so if you want we can get together and ride out to the meetpoint (Westfield) we can.

It does sound like a smarter group, with mixed ability. I'm not looking to rail the twisties, just have a fun/safe ride. I've done Rt2 through Florida out Greenfield before and it was SWEET.

How about the Mobil a little furgher down on the right I'm gonna top it off before I head out.

How about the route? We can take 2 to 202 and jump on the Pike way down there. It'd be a much nicer ride than 190 to the pike.

Is this the one across the street from Maki Lumber?

Sounds like a plan to me. Depending the time ya wanna meet I can come up with a more interesting ride down there. Wouldn't add a hell of a lot of time to the ride. Just a litter more interesting.

Yep, thats the one. If we gotta be in Westfield at 10 we should prolly meet at 8 or 8:15 Then we can get a decent rest in Westfield before we head out.

I dont care about the route, just as long as we get there I looked at 202 becasue we wouldn't have to pay as much (if any) for tolls on the way there.

RE: 202

Lotsa tar snakes on much of 202 south of 2, so take care in the AM if it's damp out. If you take 202 south to 21, you can follow 21 to the Mass Pike entrance 7 -- it'll cost you a quarter from exit 7 to all exits west.

I will be seeing you guys there. I can't wait sounds like it is going to be a really good time. I rode with the guy that is orginizing it, ZZRstew, once before. Really good guy. Really safe rider, but not affraid to give it a little when the road allows. This is going to be a really good ride for any level rider. Not to mention the AWESOME views.

Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Myself and a couple of the Track Day instructors are probably going to be in attendance also.

(We'll be wearing orange vests and pulling people over!)

Heres hoping they are right! I got it from www.whdh.com (the online weather map/images are wrong, read the text) and channel 4. Both noon weather reports on the TV had the same thing.

Belive me, I'm the first to hope so! Hopefully its just a coastal thing that hits into Worcester county and leaves us alone out west I can deal with wet on the way home.

I'll pm you my cell, if anything comes up just give me a call leave a message if I'm not around the phone.

It looks like the weather is coming from the ocean and that the rain will hold until late afternoon in Western Ma.
