    8/30 or 8/31 ride to the races??

    Is anyone riding up this weekend for a day trip? I know that Mike (HalfSquid) started a thread for the weekend, but I am looking to ride up for one of the two days. (leaning toward Sunday)

    Anyone?

    Would you consider driving a little bit east and meeting up at the usual BK off 93?

    Mike, you said you are going up saturday morning? I live right off Rt 13 (just moved). Meet in Brookline, NH? What time is good for you? Let's say at the Sunoco station/Copper Top Creamery?

    Have never "made" time for the races or track time. Need to get outta work mode so going sunday would do it. Coming from the lakes region. I've never been to nhis so some idea of what or where you go for a track virgin would help.

    I have no idea what time I will be in that area Matt? I am taking the slab to 119 which takes about 30 minutes. That puts me there (119/495) about 9:30. If you map put how long it takes from 495 /119 plus a gas stop (5) Minutes then that will give you a rough time. I am not sure what gas station you are taking about? I can keep an eye out for you in that area. I will be on My Black DUKE with a black Leather lacket and a Red and White Shoei with a blacked out face shield. What are you on? I will check the board in the AM at work heading to bed soon so I can get some hours in before departure time.

    Mike,

    I would say...at a "spirited" pace as they say...you would be there by 10. I will park my bike close to the road so you should see me. Im on a black/gold daytona 675. Ill have a black riding jacket and a black/silver helmet. I should be there by about 0950-1000. i wont be able to check the board beforehand so ill pm you my # in case you need it.
