We will meet up around 11 and hit the road around 12. I'll be their earlier. Probably around 10:30.

But be forewarned their are no facilities. Just trees and hiking trails. Parking is on street only, but their is almost no traffic at all. All roads on the wrought have ether a 25/15 mph speed limit.

I ride these roads almost every weekend and almost never see cars except for a few select spots.
Their are also several hotels within a 10 min drive of this location.
Also be forewarned that the laws governing motorbicycles in RI. are sketchy at best ,but i have never ben pulled over when encountering police on rides. And I have never seen police while in the area I have chosen for the ride.

I'll see if I can make this one. Just found out my son (23) is moving back home from Texas and will be here the weekend before so I can't guarantee anything. He's gotten himself into a bunch of financial trouble.

I met a guy that works at the HF in Warwick last night that has a couple motorized bicycles and is on this board, but for the life of me I can't remember his screen name. I told him about you having a ride recently and he is definately interested in attending an event. It didn't sound like he knew there was a place toward the bottom of the forum page where people had get togethers. Hopefully he'll see this one since I told him where to look for events.

My wife just got back from traveling for work last night and I told her about the ride. She reminded me that we have a wedding we have to go to that afternoon so looks like I'm out again.

Next weekend!
Fingers crossed for at least a few riders. Seems like slim pickings on the east cost this year.

I hope you can make it. I know Jim/Russell is planning on attending . Also I placed an add on Craigslist, and had 2 people interested in coming. So maybe 4 so far, fingers crossed. And you never know how many lurkers may or may not show.
