There is a Mobil station across the street from the BK so you can top off the bike.

Ray,
Could you post the name and address of the lunch location.
The stop in Keene that you have on your route shows a residential area on Google maps.
I imagine that 50+ is excessive for one place.

Perhaps you could pick a large parking lot that we could all meet up in after we eat lunch?

Friendly reminder to PLEASE have ICE #'s!

What does this mean?

Margaritas Mexican Restaurant
Category: Mexican
77 Main St
Keene, NH 03431
(603) 357-4492

We will be eating at Margaritas like we did last year. They took 30 of us with no problem last year and said 50 is o.k as well.They are even giving us a whole another room to put our gear in. (last year our gear was in the way) But this year it will be 3x faster. They have accommodated fr 45+ people, we have an all you can eat taco bar buffet line with sodas. Food will be ready RIGHT AT NOON when they open. So we will be in and out in an hour or so depending on how fast you fatties eat. I am asking EVERYONE to please bring $13 CASH to give to me so I can just pay the whole bill rather than splitting it up between 50 of us. The $13 will include gratuity as well. I am only asking money up front so we can move through there quicker.

Good thinking.

That place is good, but it took FOREVER last time, so this sounds good.
Everyone can park in the lot behind it, too. (just check the meter to see if money is required)

Meter fair is not required on Sundays.

I'll meet you guys in the parking lot around 12:30 or thereabouts. I live about 3min down the road and will eat lunch at home.

sounds good have eaten there before its some tasty food!!!

If they are prepared for us we will be all set.

I am slightly concerned about road conditions, gonna see what happens friday. tho the forcast does have 2 warm days with rain mid next week that should help clean things up. With the storm coming looks like i'm going on the preride the friday 2 days before the actual ride. I have hopes 1 more storm wont mess things up to bad

From driving 101 a couple of weeks ago, there are some pretty bumpy spots between Keene and Dublin.

Ray,
I was wondering if you had a page to last years first run at all? You know, pictures and such.

[FAST GSXR750]

ICE# is In Case of Emergency phone number , in the event of a "misshap" and we have to contact someone for you. But we are NOT going to need this right?

[KingCast 650R]

I see you have a rain day of 17 April will that be the same as the snow day?
You know I hate the white snow
