Want to get a ride together. What is a good day for everyone? Sundays are usually good for me. I proposed July 10th if that is not good lets come up with another day when the majority can ride.

You can count me in on the July ride or a June ride or a May ride, Sunday and Mondays are good for me.
A ride to the Beach would be good.
Let me know.

I'll tell you a nice area to ride is around the Galena/Chestertown area. 213 is a really nice road to ride.

Galena area is a nice area to ride, I have ridden there several time. Georgtown MD is also nice I use to go boating there and eat at the Grainary Rest.

It is a nice area to ride. The Rock Hall, MD area is near there and has a good restaurant. Also, near the Conowingo Dam, in Conowingo, MD, is the Union Hotel....it is a "biker bar", but next door is the hotel part. It is a great place to eat.

I like from Diamond Motor Sports to rt 9. Another option is to head W. (rt 10) and up 313 towards chestertown. I'm not real good about this kind of thing, so someone please take the lead on this. First one with a plan wins.

Rt 10 to 313 would work. Then grab 291 into Chestertown. Then take 213 from Chestertown to Galena. Maybe taking a quick jump to either Rock Hall or Betterton before that. Once in Galena grab 330 which eventually becomes 42 and goes all the way back to 13 in Cheswold.

Thats's the route then. My uncle is the mayor of Galena so we might have to put our "quiet" pipes on there lol.

Was a date already decided on???

05-23-2005, 11:45 AM
everybody seems to want to ride on that date so it doesnt matter to me I can ride any time.
Monstermile
05-23-2005, 02:41 PM
July 10th?? If so I'm out. Sorry.
Dragonhrtslayer
05-23-2005, 08:45 PM
Any date that we all set will be for one and all to be able to ride together.
We need to be able to eventually have a meet and greet for all .
rebls
05-23-2005, 10:11 PM
In my first post on this thread I proposed a July 10th date with little or no negative feedback. If this date does not work, lets pick a date that will. My guess is that not everyone will be able to make whatever date we pick. For now lets stick with July 10th as the tentative date and see what happens.

This is true. And I wasn't implying that the date should be changed. Just I can't do that particular day, or any Sunday for that matter. I'll get in on one eventually.

If I could I would love to join this ride. My husband and I are always looking for new biker buddies.

Looks like a count of about 7 so far. The route monstermile has proposed does not include any food stops. Are we gonna stop and eat or just ride? I'm in either way.

If all goes well my girlfriend and I will be along for the run. I'm helping a friend move back here from West Virginia Friday and Saturday. I thought we would still be going on Sunday but it appears that I was wrong. So (provided my body is still in one piece) we should be there! Looking forward to meeting everyone. P.
Hey Rebls, do you work at Kent County Motors?

You should have told me! My girlfriend just totalled her car and we had to get her a new car in a hurry. I think we could have got a nicer car.

Kent County is a really small place. We've been hitting your service department alot lately. My family business is right down the street across from the old Dover Pool and Patio. F & L Auto Sales. [/quote]

Ok so I guess this is the official route. Need a ride "captain". Who is the most experienced rider here? I've only been riding a couple of years. Any volunteers??????

I've only been riding a little over two years,over 7 thousand miles,but still.I think the person who knows the route the best should lead also.Does anyone know the actuall count of many of us are showing up,or i guess we'll see tomorow.

Think ride went very well. Changed route, went to Union Hotel, Port Deposit Maryland. Steve did a great job as the lead! Sorry I had to turn back on the way home but I left my back pack at the gas station. Had some friends of DE X'er's which I thought was great, the more the better. We'll have to schedule another ride soon.
