Hey Dave,

I'm new to the forum here. I am going to try and make this, and if so will be leaving from the Bedford / Amherst area.

If I make it, I'll shoot out Rt. 101W to Rt. 202S. That's probably close to the route you'd be taking, right Dave?

[Hoss]

I'm a maybe as well.

Same area as Cheese and the rest of you Manch/Hollis/Nashua/Bedford goons. I'll keep lurking...

1st meeting place is Rt 202 and 119 in Rindge NH, leaving at ~830 heading to 2nd meeting spot at 202 South and RT 2. From there we can break in to groups and pick routes to Great Barrington. Probably leave there around 915 or so.

Leah will most likely be riding sweep, I have a route in mind but its a secret

Does 7:30 give us enough time to get to the Citgo on 202?

[REDST]

Where in S. NH do you live?

[ChR1s]

I'm going to be there even if it fucking SNOWS! The pizza at Four Brothers is just that good.

Call it "Nashua".

I'm sure there's enough time to get out there if we leave by 7:30, just wanted to see where Dave was at with this.


If anyone else is interested, mini-meet at the Bud Plant in Merrimack, NH at about 7-ish....leaving no later than 7:30.

[theothersean]

Why don't we just have 10 - 15 different meet spots from hampton beach all the way down to great barrington. that way there no one ever has to ride alone for more than 1/2 and hour and we can sample the coffee and gas at as many different places as possible and put up a review at the end of it all.

Seriously though, the more meet spots there are, the more potential for groups being late to the next one. It takes a lot to get a group going and keep it on schedule in order to make the "big meet" on time. the larger it gets , the longer it takes. When I say that we will be leaving the 202/2 spot no later than 9:30 , thats what I mean.

What's the problem if scattered groups of 3 or 4 riders wish to meet up before we all arrive at Citgo?

The Bud Plant group (if any) isn't stopping for anything other than Citgo.

The fashion in which everyone arrives at Citgo isn't the issue so lang as everyone's on time...

[jmh992003]

im off that weekend I would like to go depends on the weather. IM in gardner not far from rindge so the meet is no issue, however for those who have not made the trip from 202 in rindge... 202 if heading through winchendon, ma... then tmepleotn, ma, into athol, ornage etc.... I believe you cross rte two in tmepleton, athol and orange... so where on 202 is the second meeting place?

That might be cutting it a little close...to get to the Citgo by 8:30. Suggest leaving at 7:00....better too early than too late!

[bergs]

I thought the leave time from Citgo was 9:15?

Confused...

If you follow the dates this is an UPDATED post. The original in STN was from a month or so ago. I sent a note to Keith to update that to cut down on any confusion.

Also I agree with Sean that if you make a bunch of meeting places you got a better chance of missing ours. Not that it matters cause on this ride the meeting spot after lunch is the goal. If you get to the Citgo and we are not there head to GB on your own and see you at the Price Chooper.

Well...there are a few of us leaving from Nashua/ManchVegas/Bedford. It just makes it a little more entertaining to leave together.

So - Paul, as I suggested, leave Bud at 7:00 sharp and we should make the Citgo at Rt 202 and 119 by 8:30!

(Still a probable...don't wait for me...!)

I'll be there at 0630 drinking a DD's medium regular coffee and eating a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese.


......and Dave, you know you're going so quit with the "antics"...

[bergs]

There's been a change in my schedule and I'm currently "tentative" for this ride.

I'll still show at the Bud plant as planned but, depending on how it all unfolds, it's likely I'll be trailering a bike home on Saturday. I'll know more tomorrow.

Dave- You have e-mail.
