Man, I'm going back & forth about this one. But it's a 90 minute slab ride just to get to the starting point.

[The Snowman]

We can meet you at the West Main St. exit of 495.

We're slabbing 495N from Bellingham to Pike East to 128/95.

[The Snowman]

holy crap, you've got a spy satellite?!?!?!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It won't be much of a spy satellite if people KNOW about it, will it?

[The Snowman]

<------Today's POST WHORE. (At least in this thread)

[OreoGaborio]

coo... turnin out to be a bigger ride than I first expected. I think a guy that works in my building is gonna join us as well. Can't remember his name but I'll find out when he or I introduces him to everone else

[nilez]

I like that route a lot! We should pop down the Wingaersheek (sp?) beach road off 133. Nutty turns on it, and going down and back doesn't take long at all.

What time are we meeting near Masco?

I went to that beach back when I was a lowly scum freshman in high school (before I rode) and thought to myself while driving the road in *DAAAMNNNN, I WANNA RIDE THIS ROAD ON A BIKE!* can we?! can we?!

Anyway, I gotta work in West Newbury at 4pm... sooooooo I'll be along for the ride, might just have to break off at some point, no biggie. This entire ride is my backyard/familiar roads all up the coast, been wanting to do a group ride in this area for a while. Count my will-be-hung-over-ass in!

Rob...no, Exit 4 off 93 - Derry NH. Rt 102....

See you there!

Wingaersheek Beach

Don't quote me on this, but I think it might be Concord St to Atlantic St that are the fun roads into the beach. Schleppy, any input?

[OreoGaborio]

We'll be doing Concord st, but Atlantic is a dead end & looks kinda populated.

[Cheese]

Rob...no, Exit 4 off 93 - Derry NH. Rt 102....

See you there!

Dave,
My map only shows 1 @ Manchester Rd (Rt. 28) but I'll be coming across on Rt. 102 so I'll keep my eyes open for a different one. If not, I've got your number and I'll call if I get tired of ridin' around the parking lot in a crown.

Chuck,

I must have missed your name on the list somehow.

8 - Annalisa (solo)

She's thinking about getting her license anyway.

[Cheese]

Chuck,
After Kurt mentioned the whole squashed baby bunny story I figured I wasn't welcome on his ride anymore so I figured I'd jump on Pete's. Less bunnies on the coast. Well, the furry kind anyway.

Kurt loves to kid. You should come on both. I'll be there.

Yeah, the road going to Wingaersheek is a "dead end". It opens way up at the beach parking lot. Easy to turn around, and the road really is worth driving.

[The Snowman]

leaving in about 30 minutes. (need to make a coffee stop midway up)

See you guys/girls in a few.

[nilez]

oooooff, I'm beat, but SOOOO ready for a good ride hahaha. Unfortunately fellas the girl that would have been riding with me today decided to ride me last night instead so she won't be joining us today on the road

[OreoGaborio]

haha, well played, Nilez. Jenni & I are headin out the door now. See you guys there.

[schleppy]

That was a good time gang! The route was a little ambitious Pete, especially given the holiday traffic, but I think we did pretty well given how many people showed, and how long stops ended up taking.

I hope you guys found the Clam Box ok, and got the necessary fried nourishment you all wanted It started getting a little late for me, seeing as I told my GF I was going to be home earlier

Anywho, it was nice meeting you hooligans (and hooliganettes). We'll have to do this real soon.

Thanks for organizing Pete !

[nilez]

Had a great time. I agree with schleppy, the stops took a bit longer than expected and they were more frequent than we wanted, but it was still fun meeting everyone and getting out there with a decent sized group. Hopefully we can do another one sometime soon, maybe get out on some more open roads somewhere with less traffic. Thanks to schleppy for leading the pack much of the way and thanks to oreo for putting the ride together!

Enjoy the rest of the day folks... I have to deal with high school prom tonight at work.
