Sunday 11/20 One Last Ride...

[HO-HUM-R1]

I keep thinking i'm done for the year every time i get home from a ride, but the nice days have kept coming. Low to mid 60's on Sunday, and the wife and kids at her parents visiting is the perfect combination to go put some miles on the bike.....
I'm just north of Boston and will ride pretty much anywhere. A couple guys mentioned western ma in my other thread.... Open to ideas. If i don't hear much back for this i'll plan something out and hit the road solo..

Im down. I usually like the route 2 area and then after that coming back through 116 via conway.

There are some other roads out there, but I pnly know the big ones Ive been on a couple of times.

[HO-HUM-R1]

i'm fine with whatever.. i'm getting ready to head out for a while tonight but just post up a meeting point and a time.( can't do it before 10) if you want to pm me your # i'll touch base in the morning

@HO-HUM-R1 ...are you still going on a ride tomorrow?

I dont know of any routes or places, just want to tag along if you have something in mind. I live in Quincy, so let me know, any time after 10am is fine with me too.

I might be in- I have an appointment for my car in the morning (around 9:30), but if I can get home and grab the bike I'll shoot our for a ride!

njsrikar- where in Quincy are you? I just moved here a month and a half ago, any good riding down this way?

[njsrikar]

^ I live near exit 8 off i93.
Don't know of any good roads around except for blue hills which is short strip of twisttiess
.
You should probably ask Jimmy 2 shots...he knows this place better.

[yummycheese]

Im still in.

This is kinda what Ive pieced together so far.

Thats going of vague memories from the last 3 times I've been out this way. I remember the good bits though

Im in Medford, so Im in the middle of the other guys. Meet up somewhere on route 2 just outside route 128 or the 495? I cant think of any place thats memorable or easy to get at on that stretch of road.

[njsrikar]

Sounds good yummycheese, what time? 10?

Can you gimme the google map link of meeting place?

[yummycheese]

Hey look at this. Found a gas station thats at a handy location right off route 2 going the right direction.

Ill pm a few folks my cell number.

Ahh shoot, I did not know about this, the mohawk trail is closed until the beginning of the new year. Pretty much puts an end to my trip idea as the mohawk trail was probably the biggest part of the ride.

I'm headed north into Maine today. It's off season, so I'm doing the coastal route; 103 and 1 up the coast through Kittery, York, Wells.. possibly all the way to k'port. Brining the camera and am going to aim to get some shots of Nubble Light, etc.

This is the best tome of year to ride the seacoast; no tourists.

Sigh. Fixed.

I just got home. About 3-4 hours and ~130 miles.

Am about to go out and pull the oil plug out of the bike for the season. I'm okay with today being the last for the year. Basically made it to t-day. Not bad.

Hope some of you got a ride in today. Weather was pretty nice for it. Only saw a couple bikes on the road, until I made it back to Dover. There were a bunch parked downtown.

I just pulled in from my ride today as well. Since I'm on the coast I tend to ride inland towards Bangor. Awesome ride, but dammit if it didn't get cold towards the end!

I got stuck behind a reeeeeeally slow moving prius with CT tags on one of my favorite coastal routes. Other than that...

Bike oil is changed, tires pumped up, bike is covered and pushed into the corner of the garage. That's all folks.
