Author Topic: Team New England Riders thread - organize your rides here (Read 11547 times)

So we had a great turn out across all of New England and all of us have probably met a bunch of new riders in our area. I know that many of us are keen to ride again with a SOHC group of riders and so carrying on the Relay tradition I think this thread is as good as any for organizing future rides.

Ill kick it off by proposing a ride for the 13/14th August. Most likely a ride to Stowe VT (as who dosent love VT) as there are some great roads in that area including up to the ski areas.

Anyone interested? Need some rough numbers to book accomodation - motel or camping (or both).

Also thinking about heading down to the Vanilla Bean Cafe this coming Sunday (17th July) if anyone is interested in joining me or meeting me there.

Looking forward to riding with some of you again! Post your own rides and destinations and see who is around to join you.

cheers
Andy

Another fine idea Andy, thanks for taking the initiative. Those weekends are both bad for me but I'm sure you won't be riding alone.
Cheers to everyone who can join in.
Alan

Hi Andy'
I'm always up for a ride what is the Vanilla Bean Cafe?

Sunday is probably no good for me and I'm not sure where I'll be in August. I might actually have some work then. Keep the ideas flowing. I'm looking to get in to the Adirondacks at some point.

Hi Andy. Don't think I can make this weekend to the Bean, but August sounds good.

According to Ken (BigKO) and some others - a big biker hangout on Sundays...I have never been so...this Sunday looks good for a ride - its 2 hours at least from Boston - I have some tiny backroads mapped so will see how we get on - are you up for it?

cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
Friday I'm going to do a frame swap for Tree on his new K8. If I can get it done in time I would love to check out the Cafe.

Any update on a time or place to meet up for Sunday

andy750 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 16, 2011, 06:48:12 AM »

Guys sorry but change of plan -***EDIT*** - 1.15pm Saturday.

I just got to work and rode the Mass Pike to get here - its only 85F but humid and I was melting...tomorrow is due to be hotter still with temps in the 90s with high humidity so I am going to default and cancel planned ride for tomorrow.

Sorry!

Andy

andy750 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 16, 2011, 01:40:57 PM »

Alternative route had been hatched to avoid the busy roads....heading to VT.

Meeting Anders on Rt at Dunkin Donuts 188 Ayer Rd. Harvard,MA 01451 at 10am and then meeting Bethanie at Rt 2 Millers Falls, MA (at the car park next to the bridge over the river) at 11am. Anyone is welcome to join us. 2 CB750s and a Nighthawk so far...

Sorry for all the confusion and keep cool!

Andy

Just a word to the wise: Bring your bathing suits and be ready for some swimming. It's what we do in Vermont. I may join the ride or I may not. I will not see my sweetie for two weeks starting monday and she might want to hang out with me sunday; I doubt it but maybe she will.

Andy, Is this the bridge in Millers Falls? I may try to make it.

That's the one. The French King Bridge.

andy750 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 17, 2011, 05:59:50 AM »

That is the correct bridge. Hope to see you all there.

Alan F. · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2011, 11:54:02 PM »

Another Nighthawk rider? Anyone I know Andy?

Sorry I couldn't join in, but my my time with my Kiddos takes precedence over pretty much anything else.

Hope all had a great and safe day out there.
Alan
