How does things look for next Sunday the 18th look for everyone? How about a meeting place, Brattleboro or Bellows Falls? How about throwing out some times that will work.

Sunday is still good for me. It'll take me about 2 hours to get there. Problem is, they are forecasting rain Friday through Monday for Brattleboro.

The way the weather guys have been lately, if they are saying chance of rain we should be all set. We will have a sunny day. Lets hope the weather works for us. I am looking foward to putting some miles on.

996, do you want to meet at the Monadonok spring water place on rt.101 in Wilton like we did last year? You name the time and I`ll be there(I`m an early riser) Smack Doogle if you come with us I can meet you in Dunsable or Pepperell and we`ll take some twisty back roads to Wilton.

If it works for everyone we can meet in Bellows Falls, VT 9:00am. That is if everyone still wants to do a VT ride. I was thinking Rte 121, 11, 100, 73, 7, 17, 100. We can decide where to go after that depending on time. I am open for any other sugestions.

Irrs196, Mo-donk a-donk sounds good To get to Bellows Falls by 9:00 am we should probably meet around 8:00?

FTMS those are great routes so I'm on board with that. Also, this is Sunday right?

You could meet us in Rutland Vt. It will take us around 1 hour 15 minutes to get there from Bellows Falls Vt, and it is about 1 hour 45 minutes from Galway NY. I think we would get there between 10:30 and 11:00 which includes time for a few gas stops.

The ride to Rutland is booooooring. I'd rather leave a little early and go Rt.7 to 9 and then up 91. Can you PM me your cell number so I can keep you guys informed of my whereabouts?

Yes, it is Sunday. We can meet at the Ms Bellows Falls Diner. If you want we could grab a bite to eat there and give Greg time to meet up with us at 9:30-10:00.

It is on Rte 5 just south of where you cross the border on 123. It is on the rt side about a 1/4 mile down on 5.

Well, we better get all of our hard riding done before 1:00. Weather.com is calling for showers in Bellows Falls starting at that time. If we're west of that then they will start earlier.

I'm still in, but I will be dressed warm and waterproofed!

sorry to have missed out. was in plattsburg, NY for my sisters graduation. on the way back today we drove by an exit for Brattleboro, i was like damn i wish i could have rode today. but i wouldnt have been able to anyways due to sever lack of funds because of very reduced hours at work and the same bills coming every month= no spending money. maybe later in the summer we can have a huge hawk meet with everybody from the previous rides and hawkrider... plus i want to see the white superhawk and maybe even bring my camera again.

Everybody make it home ok? That was a great ride!!! Rt. 17 is worth the 3 hr ride to get there. 996, the sun came out when I was about 4 miles from home. Damn my hands hurt and my *** is sore.

That was a great little ride, 300 + miles. I made it when 45 seconds of home before I hit a shower. Not bad for a rainy day. Looking foward to the next one.

It was a good ride. I logged in about 430 miles from start to finish. Mike and I got caught in the rain for about 100 miles but it cleared up after some coffee.

I was closer to 500 miles today. Made it home safe, both tires still inflated, and mother nature decided that she would get rid of the bugs on the front of the bike. I got hammered with rain!!! Pretty much as soon as I hit 9N in NY it started. Gloves and boots are drying by the fire now. Tires have been changed out already.

Great ride today, guys!!! Glad I could meet you. No tickets and all bikes and owners made it home in one piece. We will definitely have to do it again, preferably on a day where weather.com says "Sunny"!

Can't believe we all forgot our cameras!

...looks much better than this:


BTW, can you believe it really didn't get any worse than what it is!?! Most of the additional wear was probably due to that wheelie when we parted.

Well, it obviously wasn't like that when I left this morning. 500 miles will do that to a tire, especially when running 70-90mph to get to the meeting place on time. I didn't see it until...what was it, the first gas stop or the diner?
