    TMLee and I are going to ride the easier parts of the loop again this weekend..either Sat or Sun.. I think either day is good so if other want to join in let us know.. Prob do the southern loop minus the green falls water crossing..and some of the northern loop or other stuff north of 165.. possibly parts of the section we did last weekend,,minus a couple of sections. This will not really be Big Bike stuff..more medium/small bike stuff done slowly :D No cameras allowed.

    We can meet up at one of usual places - Twisted Throttle, Middle of Nowhere Diner, Beach Pond parking lot, Mt. Misery CG parking lot, or....?

    What sounds good?

    OK, here is the plan - 1:00 PM (that's 1300 MrT) at the Twisted Throttle parking lot at 570 Nooseneck Hill Rd (a.k.a. Route 3), Exeter, RI. It is ok to leave trucks and trailers there while we ride.

    I am busy in the morning and it would be difficult for me to get to Mt Misery by 1:00

    If you arrive early there are places to grab lunch nearby, all north of TT on Rt 3. At Rt 3/165 is a pizza place on the left, farther up on the right is a Dunkin Donuts then the Middle of Nowhere Diner (all within 1.6 miles).

    MrT can lead us through the south loop minus the Green Fall water crossing, probably take a break at the Mobile gas station, then whatever mischief we can find. The pace will be slower than those other Pachaug loop guys. This ride is probably not big bike friendly for most riders.

    Forecast is for 80 degrees tomorrow, sunny, and no rain.

    Now if I can just sneak my wife's CRF230L out of the garage again...... :evil
