5/20-5/24 Rides

[loudbeard]

Looks like we’re in for a beautiful week next week. I’m changing jobs and will be off til after Memorial Day weekend, would love to get some riding in!

Parameters:
* Based in Rehoboth, MA (02769)
* I can’t leave the house until 8:30 am, need to be home by 5 to handle kid responsibilities.
* Best riding close to me is NE CT. Meeting at the Vanilla Bean Cafe around 9:30 am any day would work.
* Open to branch out and ride other areas if there are good suggestions.

Retirees, degens, looking at you. Who wants to ride next week?

I can do a meet. I'm free the 20 to 23. Early start the 20th would be tough but I can do later in the day or any of the other days

Sweet. What's your start time Monday? Assuming Vanilla Bean is a pretty good meetup spot?

[boosten lebaron]

The bean is fine for me. Probably exactly between us more or less.
Monday I can probably do 12, maybe earlier if I'm motivated enough to finish quicker.

I'm free the 20th (for now). I could meet for a quick spin if we stay into/ around the NE corner. I need to be home for 330 bus duty.

[loudbeard]

Cool.

Bean at 12:00 on Monday.

What's bikes are you planning on being on? Most of mine are still stuck in NY with the muddy driveway so I will probably be in the hawk or maybe NSR if it's appropriate.

I probably can't do a ride starting at noon. I could swing out and have a bite to eat then head home. If you guys want to do that, that's cool. If not I can putter around the house or actually work on finishing my basement.

I’ll be on a Multi 1000. Hawk would probably be a good match.

Two options.
* We can depart the Bean at noon and have our ride loop towards Hartford so you can bail home at an opportune place.
* I can meet you in the morning and do a ride, break for lunch and then ride again in the afternoon.

Either sounds like a great plan to me.

[boosten lebaron]

I can do 11 meet at the bean.

[loudbeard]

11 at the Bean! I'm in!

[01xj]

Do my best to make it!

Gents, I’m bailing on the Monday ride. Really sorry, but my Dad called yesterday and we decided to go out Striper fishing tomorrow. If anyone wants to reschedule for Tu, We’d, Thu, please let me know.

[boosten lebaron]

I can probably do any one of those days.

[01xj]

I gotta bail too. Had a friend lend me a dump trailer and I need to get the most use out of it that I can. Had a massive stump ground and I'm able to remove it for zero dollars while I have use of the tailer.

[boosten lebaron]

You guys are gonna send me to Bucks solo.

[01xj]

I'm able to ride significantly more during the summer. Wife is home from school and I'm home from work. Consider me interested in future events.

i read that as "Stripper fishing" at first

[boosten lebaron]

personally, for stripper fishing i like to set the hook with a fiver and sit in the way back then cast to the stage. When she grabs the bill i give a good yank to really set the hook into the whores hand. Then its just a battle of strength and determination. Being in the back really helps to wear her out.

[loudbeard]

Pulled up a pretty good one on light tackle this morning



I’d be up for a ride tomorrow, but a wee bit limited on time. I can arrive at the Bean at 9:30 am, would need to depart by 2:00 to get home and meet the school bus. Any takers?

[boosten lebaron]

Aw crap just seeing this now. I'm around today.

[loudbeard]

There will be a few arriving at the Bean at 10:30 am tomorrow.

[boosten lebaron]

Crap. I took off up to ny. I won't be back until later.

[loudbeard]

300 miles door to door, nice riding today.

[boosten lebaron]

Im bummed I missed it.
