Looking to see who would be interested in a Northeast (White Mountains, NH) FZ6 meet but if you have friends who want to come on other bikes, they are more than welcome!
Questions:
Dates - August 23rd/24th. Ride is on the 23rd with the 24th being the rain date.
Time to meet: 8:00am, belly and tank full and PB4UGO!
Route Map: from:36 Main St, Lincoln, NH 03251 (Munce's Konvenience) to:Conway, NH to:RT-16/White Mountain Hwy @44.111066, -71.179454 to:Mt Washington Auto Rd @44.289279, -71.227458 to:Mt Washington Auto Rd @44.270024, -71.302532 to:US-2 @44.388052, -71.1730

Do you have a bike mounted GPS?
Do you have a helmet headset and an FRS/GRMS radio with PTT? ?MY wife and I have Motorola SX710's {14 mile} with helmet headsets and PTT button for the handlebar)
Due to the logistics of getting a camping place for everyone, we're going to list some sites and let you all choose your own. Too hard to find one that both aloows bikes at the tent as well as enough available spots for everyone coming.
Here's a listing of some places to stay. I'd suggest setting up reservations now if you plan on attending. Things can fill up FAST in this area!

Talk it up! There's a lot of places up that way to camp but you'll need to plan sooner than later so anyone traveling can make reservations very early.
This will be a controlled ride with a leader and sweeper and no hooligans allowed. Breakouts from the pack will be asked to not finish the trip with the group and go their own way.
Typically a ride like this puts the experienced and faster riders in the front with a leader to control the pace and who has radio contact with the sweeper. The less experienced or slower riders are in the back and monitored by the sweeper. Before the ride, a series of hand signals will be communicated. Usually the lead pack might break away a bit from the slower riders but a good leader always checks in with the sweeper and ALWAYS stops at an intersection to wait for the group before making a direction change. At some points, the group can stop and some of the faster and experienced riders may make a couple "spirited" runs through a set of twisties while others may want a break and a stretch. :thumbup:
Myself and any others on this trip are not responsible for your safety. Proper riding technique, spacing in the group and stagger while riding are of the utmost importance. Proceed from stops as if you are alone with regards for your own safety. Never assume it is safe to proceed because the person in front of you has pulled away. When riding in the pack, the travel lane for a car is two lanes for the bikes with proper stagger and spacing. If the rider in front of you is riding the left (toward road center) tire groove, you must remain in the right (shoulder side) tire groove. If they swap because the group ahead has changed, please swap only after checking the proximity of the person immediately behind you. Use one foot or the other to point out road hazards for the rider(s) behind you.
This will be a very large group with some first-time group riders. Please watch out for the bike to the front and rear of you! A group this large can spread out very far. Avoid large gaps in the group, please keep proper spacing without falling behind. Do not play catch-up with hard acceleration, use smooth controlled increases in speed and catch up at a reasonable pace. Watch ahead for hand signals.
A good read for those of you just gaining experience is "The Pace" I HIGHLY recommend this as an almost mandatory read before taking your chances on the street as well as your first few group rides. :rtfm:
Hope we can have a big turnout and a 100% safe ride! :rockon:
