Official last Group Ride to Ipswich! Dave all yours....

2004 Ultra 150 Ma/RI · 08-12-2009, 05:20 PM

OK my quest for a "block island" ride is over and now has now deemed the BOC island ride (BOC thank you very much for helping to set this up.....much appreciated).... We made it but not sure anyone will rush to make that rough ride again. (next time an epic multi day vinyard or nantucket run maybe!!!)

That said, we all know Ipswich is a great ride.... so wanted to help put together a group Ipswich run.... I will make the ride up, maybe a few of us from the south can caravan up etc... Maybe even all take a day off from work if needed? or week end sunday etc, what ever is best for most people....

If anyone is up for this (Dave!) lets get it in the making and try and lock up a few dates etc.... maybe grab some beers after the ride/early diner or something etc... RI guys can meet off 95 someplace.... then truck up and meet off exit 16 from 495n to catch those from Franklin area and Kendoo from Hopkinton etc...a bit further up off 21a....

Takers?

Who is in? soberdave you want to lead this or what?

I'm always in for Ipswich. Why is this the "official last group ride?" Its not November yet.
Block Island is 12 miles from Pt. Judith or 20 from Narragansett beach.

Last large group ride where we try and rope in as many takers as we can.... agreed will ride more hopefully this year but just know from trying to pull together larger groups it can take some time.... I am in, your in, Dave will be in, that is 3+... Kendoo, mark and bet Dave D. will be in, thats 5+... maybe Rob will have his 260 back.... 6+...

any dates that work well, week day an option? Seems to be soberdaves favorite days to ride...

thoughts?

Exactly! A group is more than two riders.

Looks like muggy chance of tstorms and showers with an approaching cold front.

Saturday will be the end of this "hot and muggy" streak. Sunday cooler and much drier.

Tide for saturday, 8/22 is 12:53pm with a 10.59ft tide.
