I know that people will be coming from all over, so I have included several stops along the route to give opportunities for people to join. If at all possible, please chime in and let me know where you plan to join (I’ll make a notation on the attending list) so we know and can wait for you at a certain stop. If any one would like to add a stop, let me know and we can work it in. One last note is that, THIS IS A LOT OF DRIVING!! I personally don’t mind, especially since it’ll be broken up, but that’s just me (Plus I plan to stay the night up there….somewhere) Feel free to break away from the group at your leisure or when you’ve had enough.

As a disclaimer, lets try to keep this gtg as safe as possible. Although many of these roads are rural and allow for some spirited driving, please remember that they are public and will have other traffic (Especially motorcycle and pedestrian). I hope that there is someone familiar with these roads that can lead the pack, set the pace and to keep things safe. Remember, know your limits and drive within them.
Lets have some fun!

Good ol' city of Providence, RI has a PF Changs if you want to be in a smaller city than Boston.
