****Lobster Fest XI****SAT 06/07**** - Sportbike Addicts

I know this is a bit overdue, but better late than never

... My thoughts for this one, the eleventh, is to redo some of the original loops that started it all... I might consider marrying the routes from the first and second ride together... In essence, it will be shorter than the last few ones we had... I know 200miles in one day is not ideal for all... We’ll mix up the mileage/endurance as the season goes... I know if I had my way, all of you would be riding comfy couches!

So, as usual... let's tango!

**PLEASE READ PRIOR TO POSTING**

THE BRIEF:
The ride will consist of 3 or 4 ride stages around NJ, PA, and NY... In between each stage we will have us a 30min rest-stop... This would roughly brings us to a total of 4-5hr ride (depending on pace)... The final destination is Pub 199 for a late lunch / early dinner... The routes are scenic and fun to ride... This event is meant for all fellow members to come out and enjoy a social setting... The ride usually ends up with 35+ members... I would expect all to exercise good judgment and self-control... Be courteous and respectful towards other fellow riders (i.e. don’t do anything stupid that would have us all ticketed)... If you are approached with a concern for your safety and/or other’s, please have an open mind about it... Let us all work together to have a good time!

Whole Maine Lobster (1.5lb): $10.00
