ride to ATTITASH

[SVRACER01]

ok, any other ideas? i dont know what katrina mtn blvd is but if you say its fun then maybe we will do it

[slaps76]

Even though I posted on another ride thread I'd go along, the Attitash slides is calling my name....

Can we get a rough estimate time/meeting area(even town), just to figure out how early of a morning it would be?

[SVRACER01]

im probably leaning towards a nice round number like 10 am, that way everyone has time to get to whereever we are meeting but i can do earlier if people want. as for what town....... not sure. maybe Manch or the Epsom traffic circle again at the D&D.

can you post up map route you think you are taking up to Attitash please.........also the time frame you would like to be there by?

thanks

[SVRACER01]

ok i took the time to actually look at a map today and assuming we are starting from the Epsom circle we will head out 28 and around the lake towest ossipee, where we will head up to north conway then to the 'tash. after the 'tash i was planning on continuing down 302 to 93.
at this point anyone who wants to split and head home down 93 is free to do so. i am gonna cut across the Kanc and then south on some back highways towards home. anyone who continues with me and still has to head to Mass to go home can take 16 to 202 to 93 or 16 to 95. the 202 route means no tolls. but the only toll that you actually have to pay is the Hampton toll on 95 if go the 16 route since NH says you dont have to pay the toll in the exact change lanes any more, so you can blow the other 2 tolls if you want.
as for a time frame of when i want to be at the 'tash.............. im not sure since ive never done this route but im guessing around lunchtime so im hoping there is food there
if anyone wants to add on to this or maybe slightly vary it if you know some roads then im open to that. the map that YZF posted shows some alternate routes that will get us to the same places so those are definitly a possiblity
i guess that we will meet at the D&D at the Epsom traffic circle at 10. when i say 10 please try and plan to be there by 9:30 at the latest. there a Mobil across the way and if you dont know where the circle is..... its right off 93 or 393. probably the 202/4/9 exit and if own a map its where 28 crosses 202/4/9.

[01YZF6]

I will look for you at the corner of rt 16/25 @ 10:30 then?
( BBQ PIT and McD on the corner)


are you plan on cutting back over the Kanc ( rt 112) from Lincoln ( exit 32 on I-93) back to Conway???

I am gonna cut across the Kanc and then south on some back highways towards home

depending on how you play this, there are some roads not too far out of the way to ride before you pick 93 back up...(302 to Littleton, rt 135 from Littleton to Bath, rt 117 Sugar hill, pick up 3 south down to the Kanc or hit 93 of of 117 ( Franconia)

Only suggestions for those who wish for a longer ride....depending on weather too....



as for lunch..........stay away from there........ :

Just head back a bit to N conway for tons of choices, or pick up a sandwich at Kringles a few miles up the road....

[SVRACER01]

16/25? theres also gas station there too right. isnt that at the bottom of Whittier Mtn? im not sur how long it will take to get from Epsom to there but 10:30-11 sounds good. we will probably top off there too.
as for your other routes........... sounds good to me, and i agree on weather permitting, supposed to be cloudy but dry i think (fingers crossed)
so whos in for tomorrow? so i know how many to expect to look for

[slaps76]

Ok guys, I plan on meeting you at the Epsom traffic circle.

SVracer, I'm going to pm you my number in case you need to call me if things change.

Later...

[01YZF6]

I am in..........Ill be there @ 10:30 Black/Grey YZF , full leathers....

weather is suppose to be cloudy with small chance of a spot shower late afternoon...... but be forwarned, Weather has no rules up here.....

Yes there is a subway/gas station right there, and yes that is Mt Whittier........ gas is @ 2.70 right now up this way......

[Hardcore]

I was holding the alpine slide speed record until I sailed over the edge of the track and landed on my noggin'

[SVRACER01]

that was a good time we didnt get much riding done but the slides were good and we got to watch some Moto GP too
we stayed dry on the way home but kept getting behind all the slow people. still a good time though.
pictures that YOU took came out good.
the pictures of pictures are a little blurry but still better than nothing
it was nice meeting you Rob and we will have to head up that way again soon

[slaps76]

Awesome! Thanks for the pictures Rob! That was f'n hilarious. People were looking at us like we had, er...helmets on going down the slides.

Apparently I needed it, since I abused the hell out of my gear, crashing the 'tash.

Riding home tonight on 93, and I'm behind this POS Ford Aerostar, year, uh...1902 or something. Guy drifts onto the rumblestrip, and I hear a clacking sound....his f'n hubcap rolling right towards me. Luckily I swerved enough where it just hit my foot.

THATS funny!!
did you have to avoid the crazy dog that ran right at me and pete when i was going like 90mpfh?

[slaps76]

Oh yea, I remember that dog. I saw something in the road, and Pete flashing his brakes for me(I had a great view of them from 100 yards away), and the dog just stared at me going by him.

[01YZF6]

glad ya made it home okay, definitely gonna have to do some RIDING next time, there are some pretty good raods if you guys ever trip up this way again....

Yea, by the time we met up with you, then had to be 6 year olds on the sleds, then watched the race...it was late.

It cleared up for the most part on the way back. By the time we made it to the next gas station after leaving you, was 10 degrees warmer than when we ran into the rain.

[OreoGaborio]

Just got to the 'rents place in MA, gonna crash here for the night

Those pics are friggin awesome






what a bunch of clowns

[a13x]

pete just sent me that link. hilarious shit right there.

[SVRACER01]

Rob are you doin the "junior birdman" in the last picture up there?

we were draggin knees and elbows and shoulders the whole way down
Ben Spies aint got nuthin on us

[slaps76]

That was supposed to be the "hands back relaxing pose."

I decided last minute flipping off the cameras may not be the brightest thing too do with all the kids looking at the pictures.
