With so many Boston area 8s, and so many western CT 8s we should be able to get a decent turn out by Meeting In The Middle.

I will find us some decent roads to run - maybe a 2 hour drive. And then we could head to Newport for some good photo opps. With all the mansions and a few parking areas by Brenton Point looking out at nothing but the Atlantic we should be able to get some nice shots.

I was looking at either Saturday 9/22, Saturday 9/29 or Sunday 9/30. Some feedback on the dates please!

Note: Sunday's I'm now on NFL time - the Pat's have a Monday night game on 10/1 - so there's no conflict on that Sunday. If the Sunday 9/23 would be best for all we can do that - but don't ask me to like it!

I am in for any day except 9/22.

No one seems to take advantage of the wonderful landscapes of Rhode Island.

I'm also in for any of those dates. Only been down to providence a few times, nice place.

Clavius

hagar852

I'm in for this. Someone is putting together a Cape Cod Run so maybe we can combine the two runs?

dmc27

I didn't see the Cape Run ?

Certainly possible to combine them, tho.

Clav -- you'll have 2 weeks to let em know.


I'm going to head down to Newport this weekend and snap a few pics & scope out some places. Nothing like pics to spur interest.

He organized the Cape Cod run last year and he bumped up the thread to maybe gather interest.

dmc27

ahh, I see.

I'd be interested (combined with a Cape run or otherwise). Sunday 9/30 is best out of the times listed above.

Opps, did not read dates in here. Everyone coming from the south could cruise up together to the canal. I lived in Warwick, RI for several years. Cruised Newport plenty of times. Other than the shops, is there anything else to do? The mansians are nice to walk through, too bad we can't drive up to them for a photoshoot.

Well....I'm up for anything really.

dmc27

There are some you can drive up to +/- park in lots right next to them. I'll see which ones I can pull right up to this weekend.

I don't mind combining the 2, but that kind of negates the "meet in the middle" part of it for the CT members. We'll see what kind of response each meet gets this week and decide.

Clavius

Most likely quitting my job so who knows what hours I'll be working by the time either run comes about but I'll keep you all posted. I just want one more Run in before Winter comes.

If you guys want.. get on the Natick Meet and we can all talk and get some details sorted hehe

Shinka-Dono

Good point.

Right.

Shinka-Dono

So is this still happening? Merged with Cape Cod run? If not we should start a list with dates. If it is we should add to the list in the Cape thread.

dmc27

There's more interest in the Cape Run - so let's hold off on RI for now. But we can definitely meet up and cruise out to the Cape.

Here's that thread.

Sorry bro. I should have looked at your dates first. I'm up for a RI meet anytime.

For RI I would say meeting around Colt State Park and cruise to newport.
