MotoMarket send-off ride Sept. 23

[Mike Qube]

There was a little interest in a send-off ride in the MotoMarket thread so I figured I'd start something here in this section.
I was thinking meeting at MotoMarket at 9:30-10am, getting some coffee and then returning at 2-3ish. If anyone has any ideas on a route, please post them.

So, who's in?

I'm in. I'm thinking the route should be scenic and relaxed so anyone can tag along without feeling intimidated to keep up with sportbike riders.

I'm in, pending school related stuff. If it's an easy pace, I'm sure my gf would like to 2-up.

Bah! MotoMarket has coffee! Good coffee and lots of it.

Anyone have any suggestion on a route or destination?

[golden chicken]

How about something like this, run the route clockwise: http://goo.gl/maps/k7NyJ

Maybe stop at Old Mill or any of the little ice cream shops on 140 for a break?

Looks good, but doesn anyone think it's a bit long? 3:30 on the map but if it's a big group, it'll take longer realistically no?

[golden chicken]

Well 3:30 assumes the speed limit, and if it's a big group we can block intersections to keep the group together.

I can certainly come up with a similar route that's 2 hours or so. We don't have to go into NH.

Something like that? It could be run in either direction. There's more intersections where we'd need blockers if the group becomes large.

im in if we do it on the shorter side, have work at 330

I've never been on an NESR ride, but I patroned MM a few times and always had a great experience so I'm in! Sad to see such an awesome local resource leave us.

Looks like a decent route. I dont think the group will be big enough for blockers, people can just pay attention and wait if others get stuck at lights.

sounds interesting....... for now.

Ooooo this might be my last group ride in New England for a while.

I just worried that we'd show up at 10, spread the word and have 10 more people tag along who happened to be in the store at the time.

Rain is in the forecast for Sunday, 60% chance. If it rains, I'm definitely out.

[jbmass]

Sunday rides from Moto Market in the rain. Ahhhh the memories.

[golden chicken]

It's only water.

[Mike Qube]

According to the news this morning, any chance of rain is going to be earlier in the day. The weather channel now says 30% chance. I'm willing to gamble with those odds.

[golden chicken]

Still thinking stands up at 10?

[Dip Dungles]

Sounds good to me.
