6th annual 'Ride to the Rock' Saturday 11/29/08

[cota95]

Ladies and gentlemen:

I am putting on the schedule the 6th annual 'Ride to the Rock'. The ride leaves from my humble abode in Lincoln RI at 9am and travels the backroads of southeastern MA to Plymouth MA to visit 'the rock' in honor of our forefathers and Thanksgiving. The ride is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving each year (rain/snow date Sunday 11/30). The ride will go on regardless of how many attend-we have had as many as 15 and as few as 3. We couldn't care less what you ride (note to Shawn) but we do require the noisy HDs to ride in the rear. Leave a message here if you would like more info and directions to my house. DRESS WARM!! Here are a couple of pics from last years ride.

Very neat idea!

What will be the pace? I ask because it will depend on who I invite with me.

Is this FJR-only? :lol:

Pace will be relaxed-we do have some HD riders coming. The only requirement is 2 wheels.

LMAO OK...it looks like this is put up or shut up time isn't it?

Tell you what -- if I'm allowed to go (my wife and I will be getting back from Italy the previous Wednesday) I will put all the clothes I own and join you!

140 miles round trip with numerous cutouts to slab for those that have to leave early.

105 From Rochester to Kingston is a pretty nice run. Not sure if it's on your route but you may want to check it out. 105 runs into 44 which takes you right to the rock. IMO just keep heading north on 105 then double back south to the rock, much nicer ride. I do it quite often.

cota- Please put me on the "attending" list and kindly PM the meeting spot. I will hopefully be bringing a few more riders with me.

PM sent. I should also mention that this is not a high speed run because the roads do not support it. Just a nice late season get together.

Besides, you're likely gonna be freezing your asses off already, so additional wind chill is not likely to be all that welcome.

I'll keep an eye on this one. May have something else going on up this way on that same weekend, though seeing the Mayflower and the Ole' Rock on Turkey Day weekend has a great deal of appeal.

Better check the really long range forcast there S76... This one is in November (not October)

Hey - Stafford is practically Massachusetts! I am going to try to make it. My guess is I'm about 2 hours from you. Can you email me the way to your house (or at least an address)

I won't be able to make this ride. Some issues have come up.

If things pan out and I end up being able to go, I'll be on the lookout for you guys at the rock. Likely be on my FZ1.

You all be sure to ride safe, stay safe and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Sent you a PM

Anyone else coming from CT?

 

[cota95]

Just a quick note to tell everyone that they missed a great ride. I'll be posting up some pics in the ride reports section when I get a chance.

Note to Shawn King: You can see from the pic below that we didn't restrict by ride type
