Well boys I am screwed....Since Springfield is having the biggerst firework display in Vermont this year....I got screwed into working at it. I have to set up a hot air baloon and man it (its a blow up sign, not a real one, about the same size though). You all should stop and watch them here!!! I am so bummed

Speedracer · 07-03-2003, 1:22 PM

I'm in still , if I can get me bike back together in time. I have a lot of work left but depending on what time everyone is leaving I might be able to pull it off.

Speedracer · 07-03-2003, 8:50 PM

Well I got it up and going. Now I just need to know when and where to meet up with everyone. Can someone PM me or email me to let me know. Maybe meet up with 2O on route 9 on the way to Concord if he still planned on going that way but hes probably already in Bratt.

SMTB, *Sucks you cant make it man. We will have to plan on another time.

Sirkbac · 07-04-2003, 3:05 AM

Guess I missed out. I rode 500 miles today and yesterday so I'm pretty much biked out today. Had fun though. Next time I guess.

nhfirefighter13 · 07-04-2003, 11:08 AM

I haven't heard from 2OH yet. I called his cell at about 1am when I got home and left a message.

Have no idea what the plans are at the moment.

nhfirefighter13 · 07-04-2003, 11:57 AM

OK, Just talked to 2OH and here's the plan.

He and his buddy are leaving Brattleboro at about 1:00-1:30pm and heading to Concord where they will meet me at the Irving Gas station (Take a left at the end of Rt 89) in Concord at 2:30pm.

Speedracer, you are welcome to join us if you can still make it.

Sirkbac · 07-04-2003, 12:50 PM

2:30 eh? Hmm. Where are you guys heading to from there?

Up to the Kanc and then over to Mt. Washington. Coming?

nhfirefighter13 · 07-04-2003, 1:16 PM

Change of plans. We're going up tomorrow instead of today. 2OH will be taking 2 or 3 people with him from Vt.

Josh, Speedracer and Sirkbac you guys are more than welcome to go. We're planning on meeting in Concord at Noon tomorrow.

Sirkbac · 07-04-2003, 2:06 PM

Hmmm.....I may be game for that now. I should be rested up by then for some fun. My girlfriend is moving tomarrow.....but she does have her dad to help her. And it's not like she is moving in with me or anything....she wanted to be off on her own....I guess moving in on your own would go along with that wouldn't it? I'll let you know, I may be up for the ride.

Speedracer · 07-04-2003, 5:36 PM

Sounds good. You can count me in!

Sirkbac · 07-05-2003, 12:14 AM

Where in Concord? I saw you saying the Gas station off 89N, that where?

Speedracer · 07-05-2003, 1:02 AM

Sirkbac, which way are you coming from?

Sirkbac · 07-05-2003, 1:35 AM

I'd be coming from southern NH, I live off I-93, exit 3.

I was down that way last week(for the company I work for not on the bike)but yea thats the opposite direction I'm coming from. I was going to try to hook up with someone that new concord better them me but I will just leave a little early.

nhfirefighter13 · 07-05-2003, 9:22 AM

Speedracer,
If you're coming from Rt9 just hit 89 south go all the way to the end of 89 and take a left at the lights. The Irving station is on the left about 300 feet up the road.

Ed,
93 north to exit 12South...crossover the 93 overpass, down the hill and the gas station is right there on the right side.

Speedracer · 07-06-2003, 1:24 AM

I made it home! Without a speeding ticket. Fun ride today, long but fun. Great bunch of guys (except for sirkbac j/k) and I'm glad I had a chance to meet everyone. Oh yea, pic of apehangers as promised.

Sirkbac · 07-06-2003, 8:59 AM

Holy crap, those are some apehangers for sure....geez.

nhfirefighter13 · 07-06-2003, 10:31 AM

Good ride yesterday with a good group of people.
Met Speedracer and 2OH (along with his 3 friends from Vt) for the first time and got to see Sirkbac again after about a year and a half. We left the Concord area and went up Rt 132 to Rt 3a/3 to the Kanc. Almost got busted by the POlice once in the Bristol area as we were in the process of passing some snowcones is a CrownVic. We got lucky and he just flashed his lights at us.
The Kanc was kinda crowded so there weren't a whole lot of opportunities to play. Took the group over to Cathedral Ledge for some pics and then up to Mt Washington....which was closed to motocycles due to rain. Oh well. There's always next week, right 2OH?
It was starting to get pretty late so we hit 302 to Bear Notch back down the Kanc and a quick blast down I-93 to the Outback for dinner.
All in all (excluding the fact that we missed the main attraction) a very nice day.

Sirkbac · 07-06-2003, 10:34 AM

Us Sitting at the base of Mt Washington after being told we can't go up due to a storm.

I forget the name of this place, pretty high up.

Nice dirt parking at the cliff.

Didn't get as many pics as I usually do...

nhfirefighter13 · 07-06-2003, 10:52 AM

Do not throw objects over side-Climbers below = Cathedral Ledge
