Colt State Park meet!! MA, RI, CT.... August 3rd 2008 - 10:30 am

The time has come....

For anyone who hasn't been there, the place is absolutely HUGE!! Plenty of space(464 acres) for a cookout, volleyball, beach, scenic photography, and best of all....A MEET!!

Link to the park's site: http://www.riparks.com/colt.htm

Address: Colt State Park, RT. 114, Hope Street, Bristol, Rhode Island 02809

I would like to make this convenient for everyone as far as a date is concerned. So far, from previous posts I've read, it seems like Aug. 2nd-3rd, or Aug. 30-31 would be the best time for it.

Let's get some feedback and decide on either Saturday or Sunday of the above posted dates so this thread can be turned into a sticky ...

Thanks

Are ppl going down to the RonJon meet on the 24th?? If so, maybe we should do Aug 2nd - 3rd? Otherwise, 23rd or 24th sounds good

Aug 2nd-3rd is good for me since i was thinking of doing ronjon again also, but that depends on whatever location he picks this time around.

Labor day is out for me, and you probably don't want to have the same day as the ronjon meet...

Since it's local to me, I don't care when it is tho' as I can always stop by quickly

Okay, let's do the weekend of Aug 2-3.

...next debate....which day????? Saturdays are tough for some, so would a Sunday make more sense?





...P.S.... scored a trophy at a show today ...last minute entry, just found out about the show this morning from a friend who entered the bike show...

I think we should push the start time up a couple of hours. On a nice sunny day,CSP can get packed as we saw last time and I would hate to not have a nice, shady spot to park.

Maybe 10AM? And what about viddles? BYOS?

....what he said. It does get packed there at times, so an early start would be good to claim a spot in the park. I think B.Y.O.S. is a good idea if you plan on grillin...

There are places to eat nearby if you don't feel like haulin stuff in your trunk.

Let's Make It 10:30 Am.

...we Can Meet In The Lot On The Left After Entering The Park (the Small Parking Lot After The Boat Ramp) And Then Cruise To A Spot After We're Grouped Together.

Enter The Main Gates (stone Columns)
Follow The Road And Stay Left
Continue Through To The Small Booth Gates
Pass The Boat Ramp On The Right
Next Parking Lot On The Left


...sorry About The Caps Lock...
