Channel 5 prediction:
Sunday: mostly cloudy. Showers likely with areas of fog in the morning. Cooler with highs in the lower 60s. Northeast winds around 5 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Accuweather prediction:
Sunday
Cloudy in the morning with a shower, then some sun in the afternoon with a thundershower possible

High Temperature: 72° F
RealFeel®: 74° F
Winds: N at 2 mph
Wind Gusts: 4 mph
Thunderstorm Probability: 25%
Amount of Precipitation: 0.04 in
Amount of Rain: 0.04 in
Hours of Precipitation: 1 hrs
Hours of Rain: 1 hrs



I may chance it. Sounds to me there is a chance for a light shower early, and Accuweather calls for a afternoon shower/posibly a quick thunderstorm, but total rain fall predictions are on .04 inches of rain. Thats nothing!

Who's in what time, where we meeting, where can we go?
I vote for a 9am start so we can get some miles on before the pre-party ! Or just wait till the AM Showers pass then head out? There is no time frame for the showers, I am hoping it at like 6 am then stop before 8.

[Kham]

ok.. im in.

I do not think I can do an all day ride. I need to sleep in a little, clean the bike, swap rims, go do a little food and libations shopping and then I will do a little ride.

Mike, give me a ring after 10 if you are still around.

Jamie

which way is your way?

[Kham]

if anyone is still available and interested, I will be at the rest area off 495 north bound after exit 32 at 12 noon. I will show you my on/off ramp then ride in Groton area little bit. We can goto southern NH afterward.

[SwiftTone]

ill meet you there

[Half Squid]

I'll be heading out soon. I have no idea where I'm going yet.
I wish I got up earlier...

[OreoGaborio]

i'm headin out, too... but i'm goin to TLRMan's to help him move in... the least i can do is ride there

keep an eye towards the skys everyone... scattered t-storms are the forecast for today in MA

[Kham]

nobody wants to ride with me? damn!

just got back and the rain misses me. haha.. didn't get wet.

went up to southern NH little bit with SwiftTone, good kid - doesn't ride over his head, except for the smoke habit.

route 130 is pretty sweet. route 122 isn't like what i use to remembered, not so good any more.

2.5 hrs of ride is staisfying.

We just got back from the Cape and saw a hell of a lot of wet sportbikers on 495, 24, and 128 - all of the overpasses had bikers crammed under them when it started thundering and pouring - hope everyone here managed to stay dry

Not me.. I met Jamie Erin and Erins friend off of Route 1 and just about a mile from the meet the rain came, and it came hard with 1/2" pieces of hail mixed in with it.. Ouch ouuuuww Eeeee Ouuuiiee. I could hear it pinging of my tank.. So I get to Uno's go inside and we all share a few beverages instead. We thought we waited it out before we decided to go home, but It was still coming down, just not as hard.

I was on 128, but I kept going home in the rain, you may have saw me fly by somewhere.


So I am completely soaked form head to toe, my shoe's have puddles in them.

I got my Bike cleaned, my self showered and washed the clothes I was wearing all in one shot!

Hope we have better chances to ride tomorrow. It doesn't sound to promising..

I was going south just before 4? Not sure the exact time? I also saw a statie with someone on the northbound side. It may or may not have been the same one. He was an exit or two north after Rt 1.

Sounds like we passed around the same time probably...

Yep, had fun with Kham, unfortunately I got wet comming back, but it wasnt too bad, I still took the long way, hehehe.

The rollercoaster was mad scary, but adds to the fun. I think at one point, we came upon a group of baby squirels, like 3-4 of them. And when they say us, 3 ran 1 direction and the other one atfirst ran the direction, but turned back to follow his sibblings. Good thing they run quick, or we woulda had Squirel Fillet.

At one point, we were kinda lost and looking at the map. And some squidly kid rides by us on his CBR600 F3, had no gear(not even helmet and gloves) and seeing that I had a F2, he decided to show off by [trying] to do a burn out. The engine revved really high but no tire spin. I guess burning clutches is the new thing these days.

Yea, the smoke habit is bad, aside from not being able to hear what Kham was saying to me and getting really really confused.
