Early July Meet for DMV Buellers??

[flaya564]

Nice. This weekend is Bikes to the Beach if you're not doing anything. I fractured my thumb tuesday so I'm out of the rides but will be partying like it was my job...

As for the water, I haven't been in the water in like 7-8 years, I tend to go down to outer banks, lol.

It'll be good to see more Buellers, I know three down here but aren't on the forum.

It'd be a great time to learn. plenty of miles

 

[ArmyMP09]

Yeah i wont be riding hard during the riding portion of the meet. Not trying to show off, plus I've been off a bike for over a year now so my skills are down and so is my comfort zone. will be relaxing and enjoying buellers all around. Going to try this upcoming week to finalize times and routes for the ride. Will post pics and a map for everyone as well when Bolt and I finish it. [up]

MP i can't thank you enough for all the work you're putting into this [up]

 

[ArmyMP09]

Nah its nothing, sounds like more work then it truely is atleats so far. Just a lot of looking at Maps, but I just home today so I'll start the really the planning.

 

[oh9bolt]

Does anyone have any roads that they want to ride, we are going tomorrow to check out some roads and we will check them out if you have never been down them before.

 

[Nuage420b]

not a clue, just know i wanna ride along the potomac and the in the mountains. through some twisties.

 

[zaxrex]

Skyline Drive?

 

[Nuage420b]

Flaya you have two months for the thumb to heal, don't count yourself out yet. and I am a medic, i'm sure I can make your hand mission capable.

 

[ArmyMP09]

When I broke my hand, boxer fracture, it was really bad. i was fine in 5weeks. U should be already flaya, just get it taped up well if u need extra support. Well as bolt said we're going to drive the roads tomorrow in a car, then i'm gunna ride it whenever the it stops raining. Anyways. just a update. will post pics and route map tomorrow night

 

[oh9bolt]

zaxrex I think we should do skyline drive on a different meet and make a day trip out of it. We have all year to ride and make meets skyline is a good fall trip when the leaves are changing I've done it every year with a 350z forum for the past 5 or so years it is way better in the fall not the spring just my opinion I don't make the final say lol

 

[ArmyMP09]

Stupid blackberry.

 

[ArmyMP09]

Route has been reconned, lucky we did found a few bad spots and bad roads surfaces so we plotted a good route now. Pics and possibly a map will posted later. Nothing crazy, lots of good long turns, hills, through the rolling country sides of MD into VA. Big thanks to bolt for taking a ride with me to recon. We just need a head count of who's coming becuz of planning for the amount everyone will owe for the bbq or if we should go out to eat instead. So please post up if your planning on going!

 

[xfirex]

where does the route start and end? i'm in southern Maryland

 

[oh9bolt]

The ride will start at river road we will have to make a meeting spot at a gas station near there for people coming from Maryland. Here is the MAP of the ride that we planned we went on a ride on it and it is pretty good nice scenery some curves nothing too crazy and we can make the ride longer if everyone is up for it but this is the initial ride stopping at my house after for food and drinks.

 

[Nuage420b]

xfirex i will be leaving from upper marlboro, you can link up with me and we can scoot out over the woodrow and out towards ArmyMP. I would say meeting for a preride brunch would work best? get some pics in, store up some energy then hit a long hard ride? I'm down for a BBQ and will throw down on both but I know I don't wanna ride on an empty stomach.

 

[ArmyMP09]

Nuage there is a IHOP a 3 miles from my place! Get some food, coffee, and then start the ride? Also this route only took 2 hrs in my sentra driving spirited. So we can gladly extented the route to some other local roads we ride. Just to make it a longer day. But we need to count the exact family members as well for the bbq if they come. I know my wife will be there with bolt's wife helping.

 

[Nuage420b]

my wife will surely want to help as well. Ok so tenitively meeting at IHOP in arlington and let you guys lead the way. If we meet up around 0930-1000 and ride in the general direction of the BBQ? Surely extend the route, maybe another 50-60 miles I don't wanna wear anyone out but I know I've logged up to 300miles in a day and thats about where I start getting sore. Lets take the RSVPs a little closer to the ride date, **** happens and people will have things come up. but I'll have Myself, wife and two daughters, possibly my dog if that's cool? she kinda goes everywhere with us. Possibly my buddy his father and one or two other riders they're old farts on HD's and tons of fun. Getting real excited for this ride. Wife is gonna be butt hurt she can't ride along but this is gonna be daddy's fun day on RnR.

maybe my wife can swing over to the bay and grab crabs on her way to the BBQ?

 

[oh9bolt]

Sounds good dogs are fine just a warning I have a anti social chocolate lab that I will either crate or we will just have to keep them separated. I agree about the rsvp's that is just a better way in case there is more or less people. There are plenty of roads out by me through the mountains we can just hop on the bikes and see where they take us. We have a couple other friends coming along as well so this is going to be a good amount of people it should be fun.
