Looking for riding friends

[Lzyellodog]

Hello, trying to organize a ride for either Nov 5 or 6 in CT area. I was thinking touring some of the State Parks. Anybody interested?

hi where in ct are ya? im in wallingford. i would love to ride , but im busy all this weekend

[Lzyellodog]

Yeah not this weekend I am a wedding photographer and have a wedding on Saturday and an engagement shoot on Sunday. I am thinking either next sunday or saturday, the 5 or 6th. I have to check with the wife to make sure i pick the right day. I am from Middletown.

[lenny]

im off this weekend working the next 2

[Lzyellodog]

maybe we could plan something for later in the day for this Sunday. Maybe around 2 or 3. I think the shoot I have is ealry in the day and it is in Middletown. I know The morning does not work because the cable guy is supposed to show up between 8 and 11. I will check the schedule and reply back to the forum here later tonight. As far as where to go, I was thinking of heading south on 9 to Aircraft Rd then turn left towards the Goodspeed and follwo the signs for Devils Hopyard and Gillete castle. I was out that way the other day and the roads the Hopyard are nice and twisty. No real traffic.

Would like to join you. Not sure about the timing, but if my sister (visiting from New Jersey) leaves at noon on Sunday I could get to Middletown by 2:00 no problem.

I will post again by Saturday morning. I just need to firm up my photo shoot on Sunday. Right now it is set for Noon in MAnchester. It will take about 1 hour to complete and I will be on th e bike anyway. I might suggest 2:30. I am trying to get them to come to middletown and do the shoot here. It would less of a headache. FYI to all. I have about 5000 miles under my belt. I started riding last fall. I started on a R100/7 and bought the LT in Aug from MAx in NH. I ahve about 2000 on her now. All but about 50 miles are mine. Not to brag but I was the strongest rider in my NSF course and was asked to come back and train as a instructor. I just want to let you all know that this is new.

I think I can be there, Lzyellodog, this is new for me too, at least the group ride part. Never been on one before. Thanks for setting this up.

Just Googled the Jackson Chevrolet dealer for folks who want an address. It's at 660 S MAIN, MIDDLETOWN, CT 06457-4258. If you're coming into Middletown on Rt 9 heading south, it's Exit 13 to the first traffic light and left on Rt 17 (S.Main St).

[Lzyellodog]

Thanks Bill for pulling the addresss and location info.
