Sunday 6/8

[goldenchild]

Update -

The route's set.

Meeting at the 2nd gas station on the PIP, the one in the middle between exits 4 & 5 at 9am, keys turned and bikes rolling no later than 9:15.
For those in Bklyn, will be meeting at the usual - Gorilla at 8am sharp.

The route isn't that long, there won't be any roads that will be new to most of us, and I tried to stick to the lower speed stuff (but still technical) as opposed to the 90+mph roads I had originally planned.

Sunday's forecast now calls for temps to be in the lower 90°'s  so make sure you're properly hydrated and prepared for the heat.... a great way to burn through brand spankin new tires  .

***Edit***
Ok, so I might have lied about the route. Our route can either be shortish - about 350 miles, mostly on roads that we know but it should be fun nonetheless.

OR...

We can do another route that will take us somewhere in the neighborhood of 450 miles... give or take. Probably give. This longer route will take us on some roads that we know and some we don't. Of the ones that we do know, 154 is the highlight - OH SNAP!! 51 nonstop miles of awesome twistys!!!. If you folks decide that you want to do the longer route, keep in mind that gas will become a major concern once we start hitting the western most points on the route.
Also keep in mind that if we do the longer route, expect a llllllloooooonnnnnnnngggggg day. Don't wanna scare anyone off, I just wanna give a heads up.

So, can I get a vote from the folks coming out?

Short. Or. Long. You decide.

hmmm...i'm down for either, but seeing as how it's gonna be as hot as the inferno & my back tire can't take a lot of slab miles the shorter would be better. however, if we do the longer route & there's less slab than last ride to PA (<300 miles), then it should be fine.

If we do the longer route, the only slab we're gonna do is the ~60 in the beginning, and the ~120 on the way home.

Now, what's your vote?

...Now, what's your vote?

Longer. I think the camera will like 154.    [moto]

Not that my opinion sways any of the US's - but either route is fine with me.

Just so long as you don't mind waiting for me every once in a while...

I'm in - and I'll txt you, GC, ASAP if that changes due to something going horribly wrong.

GC,
I'm up for whatever with the disclaimer that I will likely leave the group early (NYC 7pm-ish) to meet the wife for dinner.
I'll be at the PIP stop.

Guess what showed up today?  That's right, the camera.  Now I just need to find a way to mount it & test it out before the ride.

So does this mean you will be sweep?

Well if you get that camera mounted, I'll bring mine along and point it backwards towards you...
