Opps notice your starting point was W.Spfld/Westfield. Sorry. Ya that for sure would be a decent route going that way.

So where's the meet-up place?

Seadog1967 · 10-02-2009

umm ya wanna do the same as before. The McDonalds at Exit 6 Springfield. Easy for Curtis to find and buzgreasemonkey and skipsaxe if he don't go south. LOL If Kawichic can make then they can hook up with you on the way down.
Don't know if .22 would want to meet there too or like I had said meet him in Belchertown. Would be cool for all to meet up at the same place especially since plenty of parking and fuel stop across the street.

cjp91068 · 10-02-2009

Works for me. Lets see what the others say.
Hopefully I will be over this cold by then.

I pulled the plug on WV so I'm in for this ride. The route works good for me cause I was looking for an excuse to get to NH and visit one of the state liquor stores

If it doesnt rain then we should be there. Its going to take us a little while to get to the meeting point and we will try to be there by 9am.

That looks good to me. If any part of it needs to get cut to help with Curtis or Chris that's fine too, I can get to NY on my own time if need be.. Even if we went east to meet them then north. I can meet at the McDonalds.

Great that works out fine. So we all meet at McDonalds end of Rt. 291 on Burnett Rd. at 9. The route itself can be adjusted as we go along if needed. Estimating times I put us in Bennington Vt. around 1 pm so if anyone has an idea of good place for lunch let us know.

Looks like a great route! Wish we could join you. My parents will be here that day, though, and we'll be taking them for a drive in the cage. Hope the weather is good that day for all of us!

I have been checking it also.. Although its a week out.. it looks good so far. Hopefully the overnight lows wont be too bad. Will be leaving out just after 7am and it will be cold.

I'm thinking Full Face myself. Last week when I met Curtis in R.I. the ride down was a bit chilly with 3/4 helmet. During the day not bad but also we are going north more so might be better. Will wear my chaps too. Heck there's plenty of Dunkin Donuts out there if we get chilly. LOL Hopefully will get some decent video and photo's of the ride.

Did a look at the weather a little while ago also for next weekend. To play it safe though I looked at the weather for the higher elevations we'll be in not the local around springfield stuff. Bennington, Vt. high of 57 and Hogback Mtn. 50 for the high. Partly cloudy. My suggestion is dress warmmmmmm...

classicblack · 10-03-2009

I will have the chaps on also.. full face and multi layers..

cjp91068 · 10-03-2009

This is starting to scare me when men start looking for reasons to wearing their chaps.
