VT: Year End Ride and BBQ 10/18

[markbvt]

I'm cool with that...you'll be at the house round 3-330

I would think we'd be there earlier, actually. I'm guessing more like 2-2:30.

Mark, is anyone from your Rat Pack going to come to the BBQ? They are def. welcome, just need a ball park # if you can get one.

I think Jason (graphite Daytona 675) is planning to be there. No idea about anyone else. I'll try to find out.

west on Goose Green Rd and Rt 113 to Chelsea, then south on Rt 110 to South Royalton.

RT 113, though on it only 4 miles is VERY nasty. I had the gixxer completely off the pavement on that section. When you head up goose green rd, you want to stay to the right. Taking a left puts you onto Eagle Hollow RD which is dirt...was paved, they tore it up and never repaved it.

Watch it on 113 though.

goose green rd is 2-3 miles from my place

[markbvt]

Thanks for the heads up. We'll take it slow and easy on 113.

OK!
Ride finalization...

Long Ride:
Meet at 9am at McDonald's parking lot on Williston Rd. in S. Burlington
9:45 in Barre at the Citgo Intersection of 302 and 110.
Riders will then meet at the INT of RT 25 and Goose Green Rd at 10:30 with FTMS and the NH Crew!
Proceed to the Rochester Gap, up to 17 and Meet up with the Other VT Riders.

Sound ok Mark?

Short Ride:
Meet at the Hinesburg Mobile Station at 11:30/12.
Hit some Local roads, take 17 from New Haven to the Top where we will meet up with Mark and FTMS!
Then we, as one big happy group (that Mark does not like riding in ) will head to Underhill for Food!

*IMPORTANT NOTICE*
BBQ Time has changed to 2:30
If you are meeting us at the Rt15 Mobile in Underhill, please note that we will be there AROUND 2:30...could be earlier, but most likely 15 min later .
If you are early or late to meet at the Mobile, call my cell at 802-355-4888 for Directions!

Pm has been sent to all parties to see who is still in, who is going on what ride (so ride leaders can know what kinda of #'s to expect) and who is just coming for the BBQ.
Please keep in mind that it will be a bit chilly, so dress warm, both rides with be over 1.5hrs!

hmmmmmmmmmmm...Trouble and I know a guy like that...cept he does it on a street bike (we hope his track day took care of that)

[Subaruzi]

I think I am in. I haven't met any of you guys yet but I need to meet some people to ride with. I am in the WRJ area so I might try to meet up with the NH crew as they come up.

I think my Speedy is out of commission for a bit, hopefully it will be ready by Saturday.

Is anyone heading out and going to be on 91 south of 89? We could meet up.

No. Correction: We will meet at the intersection of Rt 25 and Goose Green Rd at 10:30 (give or take a few minutes). Oh, also, I think the gas station at the 302/110 intersection in Barre is a Citgo, not a Mobil. At any rate, it's the only gas station there.

If anyone wants to meet us in South Royalton at the intersection of Rt 110 and Rt 14, be there at about 11:30.

And yes, we can meet you at the App Gap. We'll meet you at the overlook at the top. Remember, take it easy there -- even if tires are properly warmed up, the road surface will probably be cold. Don't want anyone to crash.

Is this correct or should it be 25 and Goose Green for the location?

Yup that is correct...my b yo!

[MissTwisties]

Having put together group rides for the past 6 years, I can tell you that the people going only for the BBQ shouldn't be too much in advance. There is often things that go wrong on any given ride, that will make your group come back home later than what you had expected. I for one will be there a bit later if I go, to make sure you guys are back from the ride.

Oh yeah...if anyone could PM me the house address, I'd appreciate it. I'll use the GPS and go straight there. If I go I'm going to bring some grub to eat.

There's nothing wrong with riding on gravel roads. Most folks keep it under 80 or so though...

Intersection of 25 and Goose Green. Sorry for the confusion.

[RandyO]

put me on the definate list

my no starter problem is just the clutch safety switch, got it bypassed and a new switch on order

I will be riding up from NH on my own, but will probably meet for the group ride from Hinesburg
