We will meet at the Bushnell Park Carousel in Downtown at approximately 5 PM followed by a leisurely cruise around Hartford, stops at the local watering holes, dinner at Black Eyed Sally's and then Stop light drag racing, Wheelie and skidding contest, parking lot racing and any other kind of bicycle mayhem! Bring Camera's, a bike and an open mind! Rides have lasted until midnight!

Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

Talked to the wife, we're gonna go!...............But she wants to know.......What you mean by " open mind"......It's not like one of these "clothing optional rides" is it, is it? :shock: :lol: :lol:
 
Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

Open mind, hmmm, optional clothes? better keep them on. THis is a family friendly ride. When I wrote that I meant that any kind of bike was welcome. In the past it had been a muscle bike themed ride. I really don't care what kind of bike as long as it has a story behind it. Sharing bike stories/ideas/rides/parts etc is all part of the ride kulture!

Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

I think I might want to ride my SpaceLiner StarDestroyer if I can get it all together before the ride. If not, I might just go with the StarFighter. Either way, I will likely be riding some SpaceLiner.
 
Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

UUH......I was going to ask you the same thing. I plan on bringing a very long wheel base bike!.........Let it be known, I have NO problem walking a bike up a hill ( as long as I have directions to Black Eyed Sally's). :D
 
Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

I'm hoping to make this. Sounds like fun.
 
Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

I'll be there Joe... wouldn't miss this one, it's the big one for the New England area.

I'm looking for Phantom parts these days... you should email me:

Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !!

Good news! No hills, single speed is more than adequate. There is no prescribed route. We sort of just ride around Hartford, decide what bars to hit, stop in, get out ride around a little, stop again, hit Sally's, then out for more riding. We can go further out if someone is interested in a distance route. After dark though it is probably safer to stay in well lit areas of Hartford. Plus there are lots of interesting (hmm) people out at night, LOL.

Some places to go for sure is Constitution Plaza and the walking brisge over the river, Pratt street, and the biker bar on the corner - can't remember the name, but we park our bikes outside lined up like Harley's. Pretty funny.

OH YEAH - Bring your own bike locks! I do not have any and it is a good idea to have them!

Joe

I will have a tough decision what to ride - Depends on what is done in time!

Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !! 2 weeks!

I have been staying up WAAAAAY too late trying to get my Higgins finished. If I can't, I will bring my Stringray which I still haven't really took on a real ride yet.

Joe, how far is this place from the Mass/NH border? My daughter's birthday party is Saturday and I can't leave until that is over. I really hope you can wait for me (or tell me where to meet you). I will email you later about some other stuff.

Re: !! Biggest two Day event in the Northeast !! 2 weeks!

Staying up late is a good thing, LOL! We want the Higgins!@ We Want the Higgins, We want the Higgins! Git R Done Dan!

Hartford is 1 hour 45 minutes from Rt 128 and the Mass Pike. Hour and a half from Marlboro, Mass (I use to work there).I will give you more specific stuff like phone numbers and detailed directions when you email. Glad you are going to make it!
