>>where is new milford? Im in providence, would that be too much of a drive for me?


What are your handicaps? I'd route you thru 95 to Route 9, to 66 and to 691, still all one fluid motion really, and then on to 84E until Danbury. Mall exit. You will have spent 2 1/2 hours on the road. Maybe less. Made the drive quite a few times (a ton) myself. You'll make better time on the way back on the fun Route 67 "connector".

chrisnl is on target. The route dips royally into NY territory. New Milford is about 20 minutes north of Danbury.

 

GMINIO, did I meet you at the Taconic picnic meet? Or was that the other GMINI?

First off- Chrisnl - I'm sorry you'll be missing this. Next time for sure!

As for you mister Cooperspeed, yes the 18th and yes the Danbury Fair Mall parking lot as close to Strawberries Records as possible. (fake agitation :smile: )

*** There's good news for the end, too. Free hors d'oeuvre at the North Country Inn & Restaurant.***

Better all the time!

I've Heard of the Berlin TPK. SouthEast of Hartford. Wanna run it sometime?

Here's one of those Kooky maps.

You READ that trash???

GMINIo

 

Im up for running that road sometime. Maybe just a few cars on a weekend afternoon. Cant wait for this meet though! Glad Koolmini and Cooperspeed could make it.

Yeah, that's a decent one. I like the Wilbur Cross/Merritt Parkway better, though. Sort of like the Saw Mill in NY, which is great!

I've been on that road quite a few times, but its more or less a strip of shopping makks and whatnot. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong section?

 

What time on the 18th?

 

>>What time on the 18th?

&^%$ Cooperspeed! 9:30 meet. 10:00 depart. (AM in case that's your next question)

Please please please look at the top post as i update frequently.



***GMINIo goes to bed***

 

NOTICE: WE ARE GATHERING AT THE OLD BANK BUILDING NEXT TO MARCUS DAIRY.

Just talked with the people over at Marcus. Yeah. Mingling with the bikers is crazy crazy, but the building right next door has a large lot never used. We can use that.

This way Motorers can readily make use of Marcus Dairy's convenience before our epic journey. No epic walk to get there.

 

So wait...this is in CT? I am just kidding around I will see all of you there!

 

Anybody from the Albany area going over Sat late or Sunday early?
Would like to join up with you all.


Plan on stopping for a rest

Oh KoolMINI, I envy you your Dragon experience. However, Your Tail had the luxury of a double yellow line, and in some places (no - never been so just guessing) even a shoulder. You might be wishing for the same on some of these "dangerous curves" ...

It'll be good to see you and hear our magnaflows growl in unison again.

How was it, by the way?

I'll be growling on this run too CooperSpeed = King of the fluffers

X2

 

Well how flattering. It isn't all about the fluff you know...
See everyone on the 18th...
