Riding in the cold

Count me in weather permitting(I don't have tire chains) How many miles is that route? What will the average expected speed the bikes will be doing?

Speed Varies

Yo Jim: Speed varies. When I hook up w/ other riders we allways travel as a group. Of course there will allways be plenty of opportunity for speed play, & the group can get spread out but it's easy to keep things together on this route, we can just regroup every 5 Mi if we have too. I think I'm like most MB'rs , it's more fun riding in a pack! When it's a bit cold drafting behind another bike can really help against wind chill.
My 35cc RS top speed on the flat Is ~ 28 mph. Along the coast there is normally some wind to deal w/. Distance ~ 50 mi. Being it's still Winter we will most likely be heading out into the wind as we head North. If it's really bad we can go inland a bit. Gtr
 
i spent a coupla action-packed years in portsmouth/kittery early 80's, some time in atlantic heights with midnite parties on the 95 bridge, some time in kittery with the iron horsemen as neighbors, in the boarding houses behind gator's place by the wharf...whoo!

and talkin' about all-niters & munchies, anyone recall the "dirty bird" or "gillie's chili" ?

in other words, i know your route well...and can easily imagine almost every detail except for all the new things i'd never noticed before because i was going too fast...

anyone who shows up for your MBcruise is gonna have an absolute blast!!

My bike is in storage for the winter but I will be looking forward to some spring riding. If you plan another one around then let me know.

I'm still in, worse that could happen is brain freeze after that I won't feel the pain.
Is there a meeting place in Salisbury park or is it so small you will be noticed.
 
Tri state ride

I will be bringing my utility trailer up to s-park. If anyone wants to meet up in quincy or somewhere you can load your bike on and share a ride.

Go to the last parking lot. There's a playground in front. Take a left and go towards the jetty at the mouth of the river. It will be above freezing, so we should be fine. Just remember to dress in layers. Windbreaker and windpants would really help as it can get pretty breezy down there.
 
I wish I could come.

I wish I could come to this. I am still finishing my bike and I don't know if it will be ready in time. I will work hard to get it done but as you probably know things hardly ever go as planned in the building process! Either way I am sure there will be more rides in the not so distant future.
