Let's do 9:30 am departure time. If you haven't been there before and like to take pictures - get there earlier - there are some nice pic opportunities.

So far the weather looks nice and not too hot at around 85 with 30% chance of rain, according to NOAA. :rockon:

If the seals are still an issue let me know. I might be able to arrange a pillion. Lol

You're rubbing it in!! :Flip: ... but that's not even the primary reason anymore (schedule is).
BUT along those lines, I was going to start another thread (don't wanna hijack) asking if its ok to ride w/ a bad seal for a few more hundred miles.

Are any NYC people planning on an interim meeting place? Smersh how are you getting there from uptown?

Smersh and NYC guys - what roads are you taking up to that meetup point in park? I am traveling from Nassau county near where we met for the Orient Park ride a month ago. Maybe I could hitch on to the caravan?

i was planning on joining, but the weather reports look pretty bad at this point. think it will be a game-time decision. if i join, it would be croton.

 

[FB400]

Ok. this sounds good. directions are easy enough even for me to find it.

See you tomorrow at McDonalds there on Tuckahoe rd in Yonkers.
should be there around 8:15a

[trepetti]

FYI. I heard from vindiesel past night and he will not be joining us.

 

[cmantis]

Shoot just remembered this at 5am. Not sure I will have enough sleep. Going to PM you my number. I am in Brooklyn.

 

[FB400]

**HEAVY rain right now**

I had planned on heading out at 7am.

Unless this clears this ride is not looking good right now for me

Thinking the same thing. Forecast looks crummy.

 

[FB400]

It had been raining heavy but is stopped now.

I am heading out at 7:00 to my gas stop place about 20 mins away. If it looks a little better than here will continue on to meeting place in Yonnkers

 

[Smersh]

There is some rain in the area, but it seems to be clearing up. I'm still heading out from Manhattan around 8:rockon:

Hey guys, with cold damp morning and lousy forecast, I am opting out. Have a safe ride and be careful...

Later

I am also not joining you guys today. Be careful out there.

 

[Smersh]

Aaaaand as soon as we started on our way the rain started coming down. All signs are pointing that it should not happen today.
