I'd love to join, just let me know where you're meeting. Just checking, but new riders are welcome right? [thumbsup]

Yeah they are
Nobody else?
The plan is still to stay over in LI right?
Yeah unless somebody knows a secret way out of the city [laugh], i really wanted to leave the island but with the traffic its gonna be impossible
Alright, I'm out then, I'd have the same problem getting over to where you are. Next time.
Not sure where you are on the Island but there is always the ferry.
Cross island to the Whitestone and up the Hutch or whatever should work out fine.
Here is a map of the Marathon:

If you wanted to meet up in Bklyn...
Take the GCP to the Jackie Robinson. Then jump on Eastern Pkwy which will dump you out close to Gorilla.
As far getting out of the city... from my place we'll be taking various side streets to the Manhattan bridge to the Holland Tunnel. From there.. we're going deep into PA for some of the classics!

Theres a slight chance I may already be out there and just meet on Sunday morning. But if not, lets ride out together - I'll let you know for sure.
btw the high on Sunday is only 48 degrees (!)
Hamptons, eh
I will be out there Sunday in Montauk fishing, heading back later in the day to our place in Springs - in the cage however.
If I see or hear a blur of Ducati's I'll know who.....
Have fun
WHat marina you going out of?
Cya all in the AM, don't forget about daylight savings time!! of course if you want to showup an hour early i don't mind, get some [bacon] [bacon] at panera!
Great ride yesterday! Thanks for coming out Ricol and RJ! Too bad you had to bail early RJ next time when its a bit warmer hopefully you can come out for a while.
Props to ricol for sticking it out with me glad we got to airport road it was worthit, if we had more time we could have done Swamp rd too. Next time we will be heading outside the city, dress warm and keep that rubber down!
Great ride ben, it's always good riding with you. Hope we can do the catskills run soon.
