Weather permitting I could probably take a ride there, I don't have time for a loop however.
I get offended by people who cry they've been offended
I still have nightmares of rt 116 in Scituate.

riding before or after? ride start time/location? what are you riding, the R or the WR?
might be in for the ride and ice cream, not so much the hangin at SuziQs.
I have no set destination, I was just throwing it out there to see if anyone wanted to ride. Same with the bike choice, the R1 or WR supertard are both ready to go.
Then I just saw this...but they said the same thing last night and nothign happened
... SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON...
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE... CENTRAL AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS... AND RHODE ISLAND AS LOW PRESSURE HEADS ACROSS MAINE THIS AFTERNOON.
SOME OF THE STORMS MAY PRODUCE HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS... IN ADDITION TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND BRIEF DOWNPOURS.
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR THUNDERSTORMS IS BETWEEN 2 AND 5 PM FROM KEENE AND MANCHESTER TO WORCESTER AND BOSTON... AND FROM 4 TO 7 PM FROM PROVIDENCE TO CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

I'm heading out of work early, should be leaving in about 15 minutes. Just checked the hourly forecast and radar, looks to be mostly up north, only lists a 10% chance from now till 10pm.
If no one else is going to SuziQ's maybe head out earlier for a ride a bit more south/west to avoid any chance of showers?maybe the 14/49/165/138/201 area, Buttonwoods farm ice cream?
Just a thought, I'll check back after I get home and take the dogs out for quick run. Should be ready to go any time after 5.
I'll take a chance with the weather. Your route sounds good to me, where do you want to meet at? That's an R1 route. There's also Ekonk Turkey Farm that has great icecreamI'm heading out of work early, should be leaving in about 15 minutes.

Got delayed a bit leaving work, I can be at the intersection of 102 & 14 by 6.
Either place works for me, Buttonwoods is at the southern end of the ride, gets really busy at times so if the lines long we can blow right by and we'll pass Ekon on the way back up.
Awesome, so i can leave at 5:57 and be there on time

I would love to. But my ride is running grounding wire up to the form guys so they can ground the re-bar. Who ever heard of such a thing
damn that looks bad....I still have nightmares of rt 116 in Scituate.
My friend from Finland laughed last summer when he only saw 2 grounds from my electric box to the ground...said you can never have to many grounds and a service like mine over there would require something like 12 grounding rods. We are in a high lightning strike area...which won't take you long to figure out once you're living there.I would love to.

By the way, your foundation walls look like they are 30' tall from the road!
Good ride this evening John, thanks for leading and showing me some more back roads. I recognized many of them from the paved sections of the Pachaug rock loop but have only been on them with knobbied bikes..haha
Good icecream as well

I bought that bike as a leftover in Aug of 2009, put 1500 miles on it in 6 weeks and had a girl make a left turn in front of me while leading a 7 bike group ride.
The bike ended up being totaled and was replaced by another 07 leftover I found in Weymouth, MA.

We'll have to take the tards next time, some more good back roads in the area but kinda tight and bumpy.
