It was just before Curtis Park in Simsbury. You were taking a left from Quary Road I was heading to 10 bringing
stuff to my new house in Granby. Are you from the area?

Not me this time. I was fully clothed in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

That would most likely be me, just put some new treads on (PR2's) and I just had to take her out, even though it was still a little wet and sandy. I live in Agawam, but work in either Simsbury / Windsor depending on the day. Sooo, figured I'd take her out, get her dirty and do my Agawam, Suffield, Granby, Simsbury loop. It was great to get out! Now...more snow and crap sand on the roads today I guess. Geez, can't win.

Looks like you're moving to Granby? Just a couple towns away. We should hook up and ride sometime.

That would be great to hookup. We are hoping to be in the new pad by mid April (if all the contracters stick to the finishing dates and someone stops making changes NOT ME!!!). I tried to get in a ride last weekend when it was nice, but
ended up spending the whole day working on lighting. On my multiple runs to Lowe's, I saw about 7 bikes riding around :pissed:

Suffield looks like a nice area to ride. Have not been up that way as of yet :biggrin: I was told that 5 to 10 is great ride up to Brattleboro, VT and
there is a good old fashioned BBQ place there by the CT river bridge :fing02:

LOL, um, married? :laugh:

Sounds like you'll be the new place right when the nice riding weather hits, we can touch base and hook up for sure. I'm in for bbq anytime! There is a good car show Monday nights at Marks Auto Parts, by the airport. It's got to be pretty close to your new place. They get a good 5-600 cars on a good night. If you're up for it we could meet up there too.

We are just a stones throw from the Airport, but just far enough. I will have to look for Marks when I fly out later this week.
We are not married yet!!! I always get the same question during the family holidays. After 15 years, you think they would let
it slide. Marti is in the Aerospace industry and she is on the road as well, a lot more these days with the crapconomy.

I am hoping she will pick up riding again, but not pushing her too much!!!

we'll get along just fine there my man - I've been with my girlfriend for around the same time :biggrin: . She's awesome, wedding will be in the future at some point. I'm in 401k stuff, or as we affectionately now call it - 201k. :cool:

I was waiting for the grapevine to chime in :biggrin:

Once I said BBQ, I figured the response would pick up :beer:

I think the GF is heading up that way this week to an account. I will have her
get the name and a menu. She says on good days it's packed for lunch :wheel: road trip!!!!

When I can take break from working on the new house. I am going for a quick cage ride to try it out!!

Man that looks good! We're sitting here thinking about what we want to eat for dinner and that popped up. Now all I want is ribs lol, and my girlfriend wants pizza. Hmmm...as usual, she'll win :rolleyes:

I gotta check this place out. My buddy and I are going skiing next Friday, maybe we can swing in on the way home!

Brattleboro is a nice ride from Albany. Maybe Sebspeed could come up to here and we could all meet up there on a weekend.
