Here's a good Idea

[steve_b]

7. meet everyone who posts here and have a massive group ride followed by a beer and burger feast

How about a 2003 1st annual NEMBA FORUM member ride? Have to be in a semi-central location so people from all directions could attend.

I'm in, but only if it's located in the Berkshires or Pioneer Valley! ;D

No, in all seriousness I think this is a great idea and something that others have been thinking about as well.

Ride Vietnam with the bash at the A.A.C. Plenty of parking, right off 495...Coordinate it with them then they can't complain about bikers parking there and not spending any money. The food isn't great but the beer is cold and the burgers aren't bad.

[AGENTGRAPE]

is the a.a.c. near 140 & 495 it has patriots end zone outside. if it is we stopped there a couple of times a few years ago after playing paintball in medway just wondering if its the same place

[If_Rider]

It's at 495 and 16 but there isn't an exit there. 140 is further south.

[SloMoJo]

Yup...
There's a good idea, alright.

I'm in! As long as I'm in town.

[MMcG]

We should make sure to hold the ride when you are in town Z......especially since you've brought us altogether united as one group of BG incognito Forum Members and all.

Okay......When and Where and What time then???

And should we turn it into some sort of 'Nam fundraiser event perhaps??

Isn't Vietnam all gonzo advanced riding? ??? There's nothing wrong with that if it is, but I would think you might hold such an event where there's different types of riding. How about something that envolves 'Nam and Upton sf. You could have the intermediate rides @ Upton, or take the powerlines down to 'Nam for the nasty stuff.

has anyone been to foxboro i have not, but heard its fairly large and varied terrain. i do most of my riding in arcadia which is huge and has everything

I've only ridden 'nam once a month ago, but it has loads of good XC, and is definitely not just gonzo. It's a 3 hour drive for me, but for you guys I'd be willing to make that sacrifice.

Hmm, Jan 12th is the next BOD meeting.... 8)

Of course I have throw My vote in for the Nam.

It is not all gonzo, plenty of XC if you know where and I do :)

the only thing i fell I must say, is When you thow Snow into the Mix It will Be Lots and I mean lots harder! Rocks hidden by Snow very tough combination.

[SloMoJo]

Couch has suggested, in Mass ride section, a New Year's day ride at Vietnam.

Maybe that could be our first crack at a group ride?
Doubt the AAC is open, tho. Hmm

Only chinese places are open that day, right?
Maybe we can hit the buffet, or raid Splat's fridge!? :)

Yes, the morning of the 12th would be a rare good day for me!

Would love to meet y'all.
