Sticking around southern NH, dipping into MA, Tyngsboro, Groton, etc. to check out some routes suggested by Half Squid and others. Basically, refining the pre-bike night ride on Tuesdays.

Casual, non-squidly pace expected...

kham?
and any other interested parties...

Start time: 2-3pm

[patricia929]

where are you planning to meet? i may be interested.

[Kham]

yea im in.

[Bad Dog]

I may also be interested. Going out for the morning but if I make it back in time I would be in. Where are you going to be meeting at?

[Kham]

meet at hooters.

Howabout 3PM at the Heritage in Lowell... Across the street from the bike night location. Couple of other peeps went on rides this morning, so the later time of 3PM might work better.

From there, ride into Tyngsboro, Groton, etc. We can swing into MotoMarket around 3:45ish if that makes it easier for anyone coming from points towards Boston.

[Kham]

sure. went out for a coffee this morning. having lunch now. will go out to cruise around lowell little bit and to Heritage.

there was a nice route off 101A. i forgot what it was from last yr. 122?

k, 3pm at heritage, then 3:45pm at MM.

[OreoGitorio]

LOL, Yup...

Our efforts seemed to have paid off! Thanks to various individuals for suggesting various roads, we were able to refine our little pre-bike night ride route, and add some real 'doozies'...

Timed it too, about 50 minutes. Makes for a good local ride regardless, so if any missed out, we'll surely do it again soon!

[oreo_n2]

sweet!
i hope tuesdays weather is good, i have a need for more speed

I have a few more roads that I hit this morning from MM including the Roller coaster!!!! Wooohooo, where we meeting next time? I can meet you at MM for a pre bike night ride. I think I will only be stopping at bike night long enough to say hi, maybe eat. I would rather do some riding if the weather is good !!

So what did you hit that I suggested? The roller Coaster???? How was it? Wait till you see the rest of what I found!!! All thanks go back to stoinkythepig for letting me in on a few roads!! Dont give out these roads to any Squids!! Oh shit, too late......

The roller coaster suggestion has been implemented into part of a most enjoyable 3-phase, 50-minute loop.

Will post up about pre-bike night ride later on, getting my ass to bed after waking up at 1pm...

1PM, what a rookie..... you miss the roads being empty early in the morning. I was riding back roads to MM this morning doing more than 2X the posted with no moving road blocks what so ever! It was sweet!!

[Pearldog]

Stoinky rules...

He showed me the roller coaster....plus some other roads around...including a little dirt road...sweeeet.

[stoinkythepig]

The Groton and Dunstable townsfolk are gonna skin me alive if they ever find out it was me that turned you guys on to those roads. Glad you all enjoyed them. I take them to work every day. Best part of my rather long commute.

That Roller coaster road is aptly nicknamed, ain't it? Feels just like an old wooden coaster. They could charge a toll on that road.

better not charge a toll. wait til i get bored first. name it the stoinkythepig roller coaster.

[Pearldog]

Naw Stoinky....moderation my friend.....we all just have to be careful not to abuse it too much. I was poking around there yesterday before the crew blew thru...

I'm switching back to my stock can. I've come to realize there's an obnoxious way to ride, and a more "stealthful" way to ride...

Did you ever take the road across from the end of the roller coaster, diagonally across Rte. 40? I almost bit the dust on it yesterday... There was one hard corner with rocks/sand scattered about, thankfully I was putting around, as I usually do on "new" routes...

I wonder if you know about the other two segments... You must, have no clue what their named, but fun nonetheless... We have to get together sometime and compare roads...

[Kham]

Squid, i dont think the cut thru road we made was after the roller coaster road. i just checked the map kind of quick. anyway that end of 40 wasn't too bad.

im gonna go ride the fuckin loop every dry day and see what happen.

I'm talking about that crappy little road when we crossed Rte. 40 after the rollercoaster...

Man it would be great to shut that road down for 10 minutes!
