Update -The route's set.
Meeting at the 2nd gas station on the PIP, the one in the middle between exits 4 & 5 at
9am, keys turned and bikes rolling no later than 9:15.
For those in Bklyn, will be meeting at the usual - Gorilla at
8am sharp.The route isn't that long, there won't be any roads that will be new to most of us, and I tried to stick to the lower speed stuff (but still technical) as opposed to the 90+mph roads I had originally planned.
Sunday's forecast now calls for temps to be in the lower 90°'s
so make sure you're properly hydrated and prepared for the heat.... a great way to burn through brand spankin new tires
.
***Edit*** Ok, so I might have lied about the route. Our route can either be shortish - about 350 miles, mostly on roads that we know but it should be fun nonetheless.
OR...
We can do another route that will take us somewhere in the neighborhood of 450 miles... give or take. Probably give. This longer route will take us on some roads that we know and some we don't. Of the ones that we do know, 154 is the highlight - OH SNAP!! 51 nonstop miles of awesome twistys!!!. If you folks decide that you want to do the longer route, keep in mind that gas will become a major concern once we start hitting the western most points on the route.
Also keep in mind that if we do the longer route, expect a llllllloooooonnnnnnnngggggg day. Don't wanna scare anyone off, I just wanna give a heads up.
So, can I get a vote from the folks coming out?
Short. Or. Long. You decide.
