Mass X Riders meet August 7 weekend

[Monk]

Massachussetts is trying to get a 5 state meet in Massachussetts on the weekend of August 7th. Vrrm in Mass is trying to plan it and then do a ride around Quabbin Reservoir. At our meeting this weekend on the Greylock run the consensus vote was a go.Please let me know from members who could not make the Greylock ride if you are in agreement. Thanks

[Dtoolman99]

Monk,
Any updates on this ride yet? :? August 7 is gonna be here fast,and we still have to get our end together. :tools1:

[Poison]

I checked the mASS board and there appears to be complications for next weekend. :?
Maybe we should plan our own ride for the 7th? 8)
Mt Greylock anyone??? :D :D

J-Doobie bro - are ya in????

[Dtoolman99]

Rich,you have a great sense of humor :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
But I do agree,if they can't get it together,we plan our own ride 8)

[Monk]

I have sent vrrrmm an email I will let you know what he says. I also checked out the Mass site and I would agree that if anyone has a suggestion for a ride to bring it up.

Sory took so long to get back to you all but things have changed alot First of it's going to be Oct 2 fall ride around Quabbin. Cycle design is going to feed us. They are also trying to get so more interesting things too. Just can't tell you everything right now. The weekend of the 7-8 we are going to New Hampshire one day trip will be posted tonight at WWW.massxriders.com (http://WWW.massxriders.com)

If the Massachusetts Group ride doesn't pan out, how about heading down to Misquamicut and then along Route 1 to the Narragansett sea wall?

I'm sure Jeff could find some nice back roads to get us down to RI and then maybe some of the RI riders can suggest some routes from Narragansett onward.

I would love to ride again but I am not able to do the 7th. If possible can we do something on the 8th? I know Manny posted something for the 8th which may be a possibility.

I would be happy to show everyone around if thats what we decide to do.
Parking at the sea wall may be a bit tough on a Saturday afternoon but we can give it a shot 8) At least its a nice ride.

We were going to have our monthly meeting at the 5 state HO-down -
The 5 state is off but is the meeting still on?
Maybe we can decide on a meet point (Hopyard???) and just ride from there. What do you say folks - Saturday will be here soon :!:

[Addicted1]

That sounds like a great ride Leslie.... Unfortunately unless we do it on the 8th I will not be able to make it. We are hosting a Korean girl from Karesn sister church and will be doing the host thing on Saturday.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we change it to Sunday I need some Therapy.

SJ

[Monk]

I suggest the 8th so that Steve can come and pull the couch behind his bike for therapy, but still think of something to do for Saturday, Also agree with Rich on meeting at the Hopyard as a meeting point on Sunday.

[Addicted1]

I don't need a couch but some good psych drugs may werk. OH that is the Oklahoma spelling... work

[Manny Sierra]

Unfortunately I won't be available to ride this weekend. My father has been admitted into the ICU at St. Vincent's Hospital due to some extremely serious health issues which don't look too promising.

[Dtoolman99]

Manny,
Sorry to hear about your dad,I hope everything works out.
We'll catch you on the next one.
Later, :tools1:

[LozTX]

Manny:
I hope your father gets better soon. There will be another rides...

[Addicted1]

Manny,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If there is anything we can do please let us know.

SJ

[Poison]

Manny - so sorry to hear about your dad. Please keep us posted.

[Poison]

So - which is it going to be???
Saturday or Sunday?
I can make one but not both (damn kids) so I should probably attend the "meeting / ride" instead of "ride" 8)
Right now - both days are looking good weather-wise.

Don't make me send Joel-Dad over there!!!

[Addicted1]

Please reply if you all can do Sunday. I have to do the Family thing on Saturday. I agree Poison Damn kids !! Just joking of course.


WHO IS GOING TO JEFF"S THURSDAY NIGHT?

We can get a group consensus then and post the results.

[Monk]

Weatherman is calling for heavy rain tomorrow, We might have to come up with an alternate plan. If Bike night gets rained out, and majority rule is for Sunday, I suggest we meet at like 10 am at mickey Finns for a pot luck run. Jeff has some optional runs planned and we do group consensus and go.

[Addicted1]

Hope your weather man is wrong because mine is saying rain in the morning. We shall see. :shock:

[Dtoolman99]

Sunday is not an issue for me,I'll be there 8)
Shiek,I'm hearing the same thing,rain gone by afternoon!!
NO :rain1: ,NO :rain1: ,NO :rain1:
Any chance of meeting earlier on Sunday??Most people work Monday and that could have a chance of limiting our ride.
I was thinking 8:30 or 9am.Dave,I hate to quash your time over an hour or so,but sometimes it makes all the difference in the world.You leave a little earlier and you get back alot earlier,just my opinion.

[nightowl_gt]

I'm so confused.....what the hell are we doing...which days...what month...where and when..... :roll: .....only kidding, but actually I still don't know what you've all decided on..... if ya have :wink:

[Monk]

time was just as a suggestion, same as meeting place. Just in case we can't make Jeff's because of rain.

[Dtoolman99]

Monk,personally I like your meeting place :D :D :D

[Monk]

Why? Because it is such a looooong ride from your house? :mcrider:

[Addicted1]

Jeff's would be great and I hope I won't burn a tank of gas getting there.

[Monk]

are you talking about Jeff's for Sunday?

[Addicted1]

I was thinking of Thursday when I posted that. Sunday you posted the Hopyard as a meeting place...


We will talk Thursday about it
SJ

[Dtoolman99]

*****,now I'm getting confused :? :? :?

[Memphis Flash]

Sunday 8 or 9am sounds awsome for me.
:D :D :D

[stonecold1026]

Id like to catch up ith everybody but did anybody figure out when its happenin'? I work Sat. AM but if its Sunday at the Hopyard Im there, Im right in Westerly RI, and Id like to put some smiles, er, miles on.

[stonecold1026]

Then we can ride to Hooters and in warwick and do the bike thing?

[Manny Sierra]

Thanks to everyone for all your kind thoughts...

I'll miss him very much!
