Should anyone be interested the plan is to meet Bruce19 at the Starbucks in Colchester, Ct. and then ride to the Toy makers cafe in Falls Village to hook up with Hedge and his crew coming from the southwest. Whoa, look at the time, I'd better start packing. Touko

I've forgotten, what time we decided to meet at Starbucks. Vicki is psyched because she gets to stay in a motel. Probably will do me good too since that Monday is my 1,000 mi. camping/ride on the Ducati. I'll need all the good zzz's I can get.

Hear that on the motel but even then I'd be looking for a horse tranquilizer just to make sure those zzz's keep coming till morning. I figured we'd get Hedges eta for the Toymakers and try to be there up to an hour before. I think their planning on being there for lunchtime and according to mapquest it takes a couple of hours so I'm guessing we'd leave Colchester between 10 or 11? Not sure on the route Drlapo as I've not been up to the NW section in a long time. Generaly when I go to Vermont I try to get there as quickly as possible which means get to 91 and go straight through. Should we be in no hurry we can take 16 into Middletown and then several roads 66,3,372,10,4,63 on up to Falls Village. Or route 2 into Hartford and pickup 44 to take it all the way through to 7 and drop down. Any other route is fine by me as well. The more the merrier in my book so stopping along the way to hook up is good too.

hmm....now where did I leave my cigar cutter?

Fellas - you are correct! If we leave Norwalk at 10am Sharp we should be in falls Village around 12pm. We look forward to linking up with as many riders as possible on all legs of the journey! :)
