New England ride 7/17

[tugla]

thats around middleboro?, looks like meeting up on or where the 290/90 meets up would be close eh? have to check think bros place about exit 26 or 27 off of 495, so got a few options to get to quabbin.

Besides Ro, it looks like our farthest rider is Steve from The Cape? You must have a two hour ride or so? Is everyone OK with meeting at the Ludlow, MA exit (Pride Station) for 11:00? Is 10:00 too early? I figure if we meet for 11:00 & head out for 11:30 with a first stop in Quabbin Reservoir that would get us to the lunch break for about 1:00. Half hour lunch break and around the rest of the reservoir plus a couple NICE side road adventures and another 15 minute stop at a panoramic viewing area would put us back to the Pride station at about 3:30. Maybe a 10-15 minute "goodbye" break and everyone heads thier own way from there.
Does that sound about right??

Here's a detailed map of the intended route. Is three hours too much? It looks like Google replaced my "letter" markers with "blanks". The route is intended to go counter-clockwise.

10 or 11 both work for me.

I'm not back home Sunday until 9:30am and couldn't leave Mansfield until 10am the earliest. So I guess I am out, but will catch the next one. But if you guys know when and where exactly the lunch stop is I think I could make it to meet there.

So when (within 1/2 hour) and where (name & address) is lunch stop?

My best guess for being at the lunch stop is (assuming we leave Ludlow at 11:30) 1:00-1:30.............

If anyone needs to get a hold of me for info or any other reason my cell# is 413-330-1827. I can receive phone calls while riding these days so you should be able to get a hold of me even if we're on the move.

...AND Old Timer......

I hope i'm not stepping on your toes here. I know you started this thread. I'll back off on the planning details if you want. I was just trying to help out since I live so close. Let me know.......No hard feelings either way.......

Mike , I'm only pissed at myself for not seeing this commitment ( mine ) in the first place . THAT would have been my first choice for a route as THAT'S my usual route around the Quabbin...unk: Enjoy the ride and I will definately make the next one...

Here's a thought for a future ride...all 6 NE states and 7 with NY thrown in for good measure...:worthy:

EXCELLENT!!!.....you gotta come for the ride Danny!!

 

[95spfldmax]

....and just to spice things up a bit..................

Since we have 5 start/stops i've decided to make this a Poker Run!! I'll hand out 1 card/person at each stop. Whoever has the best 5 card hand when we get back to the Pride Station will win a prize as yet to be determined.....

Sugestions for an affordable ($15-30) prize are welcome..........

Hey, that's a cool idea Mike....I've never been on a poker run! :clapping:

How 'bout a freee tank of gas....that should be around $30 by Sunday!! :rofl_200:

How does it work, we chip in a few bucks...$5 or somethin', at the beginning of the run....winner takes all, or what? :confused2:

 

[tugla]
