Rite of Spring Ride Part 2

[azgman]

Sounds good Luis! I will most likely be bringing a friend along (R1100S).

That's great at a rough count that will make out about 8 or so (that I am aware of)

I'm in - 8:15 Westborough rest area west side - see you 2 there. This is just after 495 on the Pike on the hill - I believe ?

Exit 14 is Westbound entrance from 95/128

Exit 11A the Westbound entrance for the Westborugh Plaza (495)

weather looks great for sat. Perfect weather for a ride

[RTRyder]

I'll make sure to NOT wash the RT this time so the weather will stay sunny, that and as long as we stay away from My Greylock, we should be ok

[Semper_Fi]

We're heading the other way and I did not wash my bike either - we're golden

[sailer]

Dang guys, I can't make it. Have to be at the store since I have had some staffing changes. Someone shoot some photos for me and have a great, safe ride!

[119240]

Steve, bring your gear to work we'll pick ya up

[azgman]

Steve,

Just leave the store open with a price list at the register. People will just leave money and lock up for you...

I made an attempt at converting the google directions into a Garmin downloadable file. It is close but not perfect. There may be a slight issue in Great Barrington.

The Google for some reason wanted to go north and then back south in Great barrington. Basically when you hit 7 from 23 you go left (south) on 7 and everything else is fine. BMWPhreak suggested bypassing Great barrington and connecting w/7 further sout, I think in Sheffield. That makes sense and avoids the Great Barrington sprawl.

Dang I wish I could be there!

[Semper_Fi]

Pete - thanks for the file conversion!

Steve - thanks for the update.

Here is the Garmin file with the deviation around Great Barrington and the lunch stop to Toy Maker's Cafe.
