I'm seriously thinking about putting together a ride like the one or two I led last year and on the same roads. But this time, the crab joint in Solomons should be open! Right Tony?
I dont know how spirited we can go or how hot it'll be, but it should be fun anyway.
Sunday July 7th is the day Im shooting for. The earlier the better. Like wheels rolling at 9am.
Meeting place will be Staples Corner @ Rt-424 and Rt-450 in Crofton, MD. There's a new Dunkin Donuts on the lot, in addtion to the gas station and convience store that were there already. DD has bathrooms.
Let me know via this thread.
Interested.
I'm new to MD. I live in Columbia. I Mapquested the intersection. Is this in Anne Arundel or Talbot County. More specific directions? Thanks.
This was a great ride last time. [thumbsup] I am planning a W.Va. ride that weekend, so we need two rides this year. [cheeky]

Sorry bro. I had the wrong number. Its rt 424 and 450. not 454. D'oh! Stupid brain!
Its Anne Arundel Co.
Easiest way from Columbia (and Baltimore too) is Rt-32 east to I-97 south toward annapolis. (beltway to i-97 south for you balto guys) Take the rt-50 west exit toward Washington. Once on 50 west take the exit for rt-424. Its the first one after get on 50. Bear right off the exit to head for Crofton. Staples Corner is about 2 miles from there.
For you DC guys, take 50 east off the beltway to the same exit for rt-424 and head toward Crofton.
Thanks,
I looked up the exact address of the store for anyone who is as dependent on their GPS as I am. :-\

Dang it....
I am going to missed this one. I would have tagged along. :'(
I might be in the neighborhood on Sunday, I've PM'd the leader, he will keep me posted.

John. It sounds like a lot of good fun. And, yes... Stoney's (on Broomes Island and the one on Solomons Island) will be open. I can make a reservation, at one or the other, if we can get an idea of how many riders and about what time we'd be arriving because they'll be packed.
The one on Broomes Island has outdoor dining and an outdoor bar. The one on Solomons is also on the water and is less than a 1/2 mile from the infamous Tiki Bar. Solomons would be a better destination.

Tony, the 2nd one is good. I think after Wednesday we should have a good idea of how many to make a reservation for. I'll be at Rhodeside to chat this up. There's no races for me this week. Or even this weekend. For the 1st time since April I'll have a Wednesday and a weekend to what I want. And a 3 day weekend at that! My wife has to work fri, sat and sun.
I'll be on the boat from the 3rd through the 7th. I'm out.
Stillie and I are out. We'll be at Summit.
So who's in?
IN!!!! [evil] [moto] ;D 8)
in.
John,
I'm out for the ride... but, I will meet you at Stoney's. Try to give me a call when you're about an hour away.

No sweat. Looks like 3 for sure and who ever else shows up.
Everyone keep an eye on this thread at 730am. If its raining at your house, It probably raining at my house too. Rain will cancel. I dont want nobody getting hurt. Especially me. Dani Pedrosa rides better in the wet than me.
The weather man's calling for showers. :-\ Just started here in Columbia a little after 1 am. Hopefully it'll let up, but if not, I definitely want to meet up with you all soon. I'm tired of riding alone.
Weather is looking good here in ArnoldFor the annual SMIB 150!!!!!!! [clap] [clap]
Just a few things to do [coffee] [coffee] [coffee] and I'll be on my way!!
Looks good hear at 730.
Bring a rain gear JIC. Or not.
See every one at Staples Corner.
How was the turn out?
Great ride. About 250 mile total for me. First time on those roads. They were awesome. Good to meet you John, Lars, and Tony. The rain stayed away just until I got home. Perfect! I look forward to riding again with you all.
John,
As usual another excellent ride ,Tony, outstanding call on fat face spot, Ryan , wonderful riding with you .
Hopefully we can get together and do it again soon.
Thanks fellas. I had a blast. Definately a good call on Stoneys. Best Crabcake ever. That had to be fresh crab and not flown in from LA. Same with the rockfish in the appitizer.
Lars (and Ryan), We should hit the MAD August ride.

Good size for staying under the radar. A couple more would have been nice though. I'm thinking fall when it cools down a bit, though yesterday wasnt so bad.

You forgot the "virginal" part, dear.
Rodeoclown?
I have only noticed about three monsters in the area. I noticed an awesome example a couple weeks ago. It was black with a red stripe. I have also seen another black and a red 900 here on the base.

Hey 'The Stig'...
Tony here. I was on the Black & Tang-striped bike that rode up to you a couple weeks ago. I turned right on Sotterley Rd as you turned left on Hollywood-Leonardtown Rd. I also scoot around on a silver Smart 1K. I look forward to seeing you around SoMD.

P.S. disregard the proctology related comments... beware of this group. They break ground rules (i.e., what happens at Rhodeside stays at Rhodeside). :o
