Raging Rapids May 5th

[bluequadcab]

Apparently the raging rapids are all the rage! I took a ride by there and they have decided to reconstruct the entrance and parking lot, the ranger station has been torn down, steam rollers are blocking the entrance and exit. So no go on the raging rapids in Kent for now.
I have two other ideas: 1. we can meet up and and go to 1st and Ten for lunch, or 2. we can meet up and go to Riverview BBQ for lunch. Any feedback or new ideas? If we get a list going for either idea, then we will do that one instead.

That's too bad! I vote for 1st & Ten...he's a Viper guy and willing to block out spaces for us to park in...always a good thing.

Pretty sure I'm in wth my son...just have to check baseball team schedule.

Thanks for setting up...great weather to look forward to.

Why don't we go bother the Corvette club THEN meet up for lunch? Like we used to do with keith back in the day. 1st and 10 or BBQ, either is good. Both have decent food and great scenery.

We also have a suggestion for Hopkins Inn located in New Preston CT

Trying to get a sense of who is going. If not enough interest, I guess it won't happen. My son has a baseball game at 2pm, would like to join you guys if not too far...1st & Ten works for me, other locations do not. If it doesn't happen, we'll be at the next one at the drive in.

That's to bad about Kent Falls, I was looking forward to the new Barrel ride! It's not as much free fall time as Niagara Falls but the survival rate is better then 50%!



I like 1st & 10th but were ever you guys choose, count me in!!

They also have the new "Log" ride, but I heard the ride is kind of stiff. When guys ride it they get a -----. When you get to the ride, you have to "Log in". Just what I've heard anyway. Wow this thread is rapidly going off course.

Last day to vote on the destination is today! Tomorrow I'll post the destination and meeting spot and time. Get your votes in!

 

[Vipuronr]

Do you have an estimate of time....meeting time, lunchtime? I am trying to figure if I can get this in before my son's baseball game...any information would be a great help!

Thanks!

What time is your son's game?

 

[Vipuronr]

It's at 2pm...I can always leave early....but now, I might come by myself for this one and bring kids for the next few.

Thanks...looking forward to some great weather.

Ok Guys and Gals, Ladies and Germs, the winner is 1st and Ten!

We'll meet up at Blue Colony Diner off of I84 exit 10 at 11:30, then cruise to 1st and Ten, they open at noon.

List of those coming:
Jimmy & Juliana
ViperTony
Steve & Maria
Peter
Wizard

 

[Vipuronr]

That works for me. I assume you'll let the owner of 1st & Ten know we're coming, as he is always willing to block off spots.

Thanks for setting up!

I have his number and will call him tomorrow. Your welcome! You are plus 1 for your son right?
Mr Wizard, are you plus 1 also? ViperTony plus 1 or more?

 

[Vipuronr]

Nah, just me this time. Son decided to hang with his friend before his baseball game.

See you Sunday.

 

[Viper Wizard]

Hey Jimmy, it will be just me on Sunday.

Looks like great weather tomorrow, even better than today! Great day to take the Viper out and have some lunch! Reservations are made the the cones will be out saving our spaces!

A potential new NY/CT member is joining the cruise tomorrow. He goes by Helo Steve here. He sent me this information about possible delays on rt 34/25 which may be helpful tomorrow:

I got word that Rt 34, Wasserman way and Rt 25 will be closed for a big motorcycle ride around that time. If you know anyone that's coming from the south, they might get delayed. I'm going to take Rt 8 north to 84 and come back across to avoid as much as I can and will be on time.

 

[bluequadcab]

Welcome Steve! Thanks for the traffic tip! Thanks for passing it along Tony. See everyone at Blue Colony!

 

[Vipuronr]
