Sunday 7/26 Coastal C-pace Ride

[obsolete]

Advice: Stay off Hampton, take route one around it. It's a traffic shit show.

PS that link with the route is all good.

Okay, first off that bride is complete.

Here is a quick route to avoid the traffic and police presence on the strip: http://tiny.cc/hXAgr

Just remember that you avoid Hampton, but Rye is hit or miss. There usually isn't much LEO presence. Before you hit O. Point just beware of the pull off spots.

That is the way I would go from Salisbury Beach to 1A through Rye, into Portsmouth and back onto 1A. Remember this will get you the most scenic of rides as opposed to taking 1 all the way.

Side note: if you look at the map you will see that I routed you onto 1B. I like 1B just because it is just something a little extra that is nice and coastal.

FANTASTIC... Thank you for the work around!!

Not sure how much time I can commit to a ride...thus the reason for lurking. Give me an idea on time and I can give you a better idea of my possible attendance.

well i am trying to get to Maine by lunch time then back in Bolton around 3pm - 4pm ish

That will be a good 6- 7 hours of riding

Probably too much...we will see.

We will be heading out on saturday morning too and I HAVE TO BE getting home at 12:30. Maybe interested in this.

I was thinking an early start, breakfast and just around the way and back?

Tomorrow morning is a definite no go...going with my Dad to pick up his new road (pedal) bike and then going riding with him. Lots going on. With Sunday, as much as I'd love to, I can't spend a whole weekend day away from the house. Especially when I'm working so many hours during the week.

I should be there for at least the 1st 1/2 of this but will probably just highway it back down around lunch time.

Ah fellas i wish i could, going to see ac milan vs inter milan on sunday. I love football (soccer for u americans hahahah)

We can meet up and do a photoshoot tomorrow morning or maybe just head up 122 or 140 or something. Or we can photoshoot at wachusett.

If I may make a suggestion.....Don't hit up OOB. It's a tourist trap and no one from Maine goes there. I've been there once in 13 years and I'm good for another 13. Instead, spend the extra 15 minutes to come to Portland and hit up Jay's Oyster Bar off of Commercial St. That's where we locals go for real food at a non-tourist price.

GRRRR..... I love coastal rides AND lobster/seafood. Already committed to Wht Mnt ride. If you ever do this another weekend I'll DEF be up for it!!

what's a C Pace ride?

[bluej511]

What the hell is any pace ride anyways?

[scubasteveRR]

what's a C Pace ride?

C-pace ride means we are going to keep the speed with in 5-7 mph faster than the speed limit.

What the hell is any pace ride anyways?

a ride where we keep it at a certain pace so we don't lose the slow noobs in the back and not get pulled over and get a ticket. It may pick up a little by the end but this is a scenic route so we are keeping it slow to enjoy the scenery.

steve, you're not good with sarcasm. i'll accept that. the correct answer was..

so fast you'll need to replace your knee pucks by lunch time

[scubasteveRR]

[xbootlickx]

Thunderstorms tomorrow?

Thunderstorms tomorrow?

From what the weather is saying, very severe one, be careful out there guys if you out there in the afternoon. I have chores to do at home so I can't dedicate that much time.


Stevo, let me know about Sushi tomorrow night, there's a sushi restaurant in our town that everyone has been telling us is amazing, we are going to go try it.

[Dean_T]

Thanks kb1ioq! I don't like to ride in the rain.

[kb1]

I don't like riding in Thunderstorms especially, they can be very dangerous on a bike, and hail = painful. Trust me, my fiance and I know from experience.
