I'd love to get in on this ride, but alas, it's Carrie's b-day... So I'll be otherwise occupied.

 

[severine]

Honey, they're riding 10/1... wednesday.

But yes, you're busy anyway. Unless we can work a miracle for babysitting...

[rueler]

we've got a small group riding out of Stone for 5pm on Tuesday if anyone wants in.

 

[Greg]

lol, the only thing you guys truly care about is watching me suck at something. All these years of me kicking your asses up and down bump runs is gonna come out in a raging fury.

You're not gonna beat me up and take my wallet too, are you?

He he he. 2....maybe 3 more years before I wipe you out on a bump run as well as on an MTB. Enjoy it while it lasts..... :lol:

oh i'm in. rain or shine.

when you come from new haven, do you go up 91 to 691 to 84 and then get off exit 31? thats what mapquest said but i thought i'd ask anyway.

I'll be going up route 8.

BTW, everybody - be sure to access Stone Road via George Washington Turnpike. I do not believe you can pass through coming north up Stone Road.

Time to look at a map...

It does go thru, I have been cutting thru that way the past few times riding there and it saves me a couple minutes.

Do you go 8 to 118 to 4 to 69 when we park at Scoville?

 

[Grassi21]

that i do.

For the guys coming from points south, it would make more sense IMHO to get off at the Thomaston exit for Route 6 and take that to Route 69. Otherwise, you're doing a lot of backtracking. And with the bridge work going on just north of Northfield (where the Southbound lane has been diverted into part of Northbound) at least then you'll skip that headache.

Again, JMHO...

Depending on where 2knees is coming from exactly, he could also take Rt 9>Rt 72 into Bristol, then take that over to a right onto 229. Follow to Route 6, then left onto 6, right onto Jerome (right where Friendly's is), left onto Maple, then right onto 69. Or if he wants less turns... 72>229>6>69. But turning onto Jerome>Maple>69 saves a little traffic.
