What can I say about yesterday's ride...Well...the most prevelant thing that comes to mind was...the heat. It was HOT...Damn HOT!!! My bike spent most of it's idle time idling on one cylinder (the rear cut out for cooling).
We left Dunkin about 10 after 10 and headed up 163 to the school for the meet. We registered then stood around...sweating. After losing copious amounts of body coolant we jumped on the bikes headed up Old Colchester road to 82 and ran on that up to Gillette Castle. From there we jumped on a few back roads and made our next stop at Pappy O'Donalds, or was it Jimmy two shoes...nope Smokey O'Grady's BBQ and Pub, that its. We waited here for a bit waiting for three bikes to catch up, one with carb issues and two support bikes. Once back together we cut across Long Crossing rd (I believe) to route 16. We followed 16 to rte 2 to 11 to Lake Haywood rd to 354 and back to Old Colchester rd for the return to the school.After standing around at the school waiting for more riders everyone got together and headed up 163 to the park.
At the Park we ate and listened to the Band, one of the Submarine Vets Riders received a call from his wife who told him Baltic was getting slammed with a thunderstorm and the word spread. Quite a few riders headed out.
klay
