The November Ride Wrap Up

The weather has been unbelievable for this time of year, I hope everyone is getting out and riding. November weather was also great. I believe the coldest day of the month was Nov.6 the day of “the Bean Ride”. When I left my house at 8 am it was 26 degrees and I was bundled and wired up for heat. Being the host I try to arrive first and was surprised to see a red Ducati 988 in the lot. It was not a club member but a rider from Connecticut out for a coffee on a Sunday. He had no winter gear on and was sitting outside. Go figure!

The lot was empty till around 9:30 when riders began to show up mostly YB riders. By 11 about 70 people were there and the temp was up to 50 and sunny. In the lot was a Audio R -8 super car that every one was drooling over. See the photos by Mr Carter on the web. There was a masked man in all the photos and he still is unknown! Being the host I usually stay till the last rider leaves but this year Tammy and I had tickets to the Pats/ Giants game at 4:00 so I left at 11:15. On my ride home I passed a lot of riders heading to the Bean. I believe the final count for the day was 90 the norm.

Nov 19 was the ride to Max’s for his Thanksgiving Lunch. This year the club split with riders going to Connecticut and New Hampshire. I went with the Connecticut group, led by Bill Kenney. He led the group along Connecticut back roads 80% of the way. What a ride it was. I guess his GPS is a good tool. We ate, spent money and headed home. Bill and I blasted home; the others rode at a “normal” pace.

The rest of the November provided great riding weather and December has started out the same. It’s hard to believe its December 8th already, we’ve already had the Chicken run and it was a beautiful day. The usual suspects showed up along with a few YP members.
Around 36 people in all.

This Friday is our Christmas Party. Same place, same time. Fun for all. Hope to see you there!
