    Is this an escorted ride, a group ride, or ride on your own and meet back for food?

    160 miles is a lot for some bikes (in terms of comfort and fuel).

    May I HIGHLY suggest avoiding Rt 32 completely? This road is in no condition for a car to travel the posted speed (35) let alone a large group of bikes.

    I would recommend following Rt 119 all the way to Rt 78 in Winchester, NH and heading south on Rt 78 and on to Rt 122 from there.

    Don't want to sound like a jerk but the road is absolutely horrendous, just looking out for the good folks donating their time and money for a charity ride!

    I rode this route yesterday. I agree, the first 6 miles of 32 sucks! After that the views are beautiful! Detouring 32 wouldn't be out of the question.

    This ride is not escorted. I rode this route yesterday on a Hayabusa and it was pretty good (with the exeption of the first 6 miles of 32).

    I was planning on staggering the departure times, 15 minutes apart. If I get my 100 riders...25 per group.

    RAIN DATE!!!

    Saturday is supposed to be cold and miserable. We have moved the date back to 10/24/09. The ride still leaves at 10:00am, the location is still Motorsports and there will still be tax-free shopping at Motorsports that day.

    Wish this would have worked. Would have been nice to see the new Busa after the death of the last one.
