Spring Run 2010 - New England - June 12 / 13
 
CANCELLED

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(


Ok rotards - it's time to pull together the

2010 Spring Run

Saturday & Sunday, June 12 & 13


We are hammering out details regarding routes, roads, stays and exactly where to start and finish. It's safe to say we all loved the Hurricane Mountain road last year so that one seems like it should be a definite again this year.

Meeting in NH in the Tilton area (roughly . . . we'll determine exactly where once the routes are set) and the time will be set as 10.30 am so we can get on the road around 11. This leaves room for those of us making a 1-2 hour trek to start this shizzz enough time to get there without getting up at the crack of dawn.

We have Otakurx (Mike) and DRKSYDE (Ian) as locals in the New Hampshah area and they have graciously agreed to lead the way through some of the twisty mountain roads they call home.

::Rotary Amuse:: (Rick) and DRKSYDE are also working on possible swag and Mazda goodies to be included in the fun.

Here's a post regarding the details we have yet to nail down. Please feel free to chime in on anything you like or dislike and add your name to the list of attendees.

One day or Two? Anyone up for trying to set up a Synaptic3 BBQ day as was planned last year? T-shirts? Any suggestions from last year or anything that you want to see again from last year? In my opinion, last year was a lot of fun; but I am sure we can find ways to make it better.

Things to consider:
Hurricane Mountain Road
Kancamagus Highway
Bear Knotch Road
Synaptic3 Shop Tour / BBQ / Dyno Day
Mazda Support
Shop / Manufacturer sponsorship (give aways, raffles, discounts.)
Mazda Tech Demo (not sure if we can pull this off, but can look into what we can get)
Mt. Washington Hill Climb
Hike / Swim / Nature
BBQ / Picnic
Dinner Locations
Specific roads in the area that you think would be good
What clubs to invite? RX-7Club / RX-8Club +? (note the less the easier to manage, but the more the merrier)

It looks like sometime in June might be the best option; but if you are interested in going, please post up when you can make it and we'll have to see what dates work for all of us.

I can't wait to meet some new faces and see some old favorites!!

Attendees:

dmc27 04-15-2010 11:08 AM

Sounds good so far. I know of a nice little ice cream shop and eatery right in Tilton too.

altspace 04-15-2010 03:55 PM

Dang...just after the OCC meet. This might be tough to do. Damn timing.

i definitely would but it's a work conference i go to each year.

xfz 04-15-2010 08:50 PM

I might be able to make it if I'm not moving that weekend.

Speedyg911 04-15-2010 09:45 PM

Sign me up as well. Got a new 2009 black mica at the end of winter

One issue I see however, being a motorcyclist as well, is that the current dates chosen is the first weekend of New Hampshire's Bike Week - June 12th-20th

otakurx 04-16-2010 05:09 AM

That is a good point, there will be bikes everywhere and that means there will be a lot of police out too. Something to keep in mind.

Ikes! Yea, I'd rather let them enjoy it. Hopefully a new date can be set so I can join everyone.

"What clubs to invite? RX-7Club / RX-8Club +? (note the less the easier to manage, but the more the merrier)"

How can you leave out NEPOC? :(

otakurx 04-16-2010 08:39 AM

yea I think a different weekend might be a good idea as well. I don't think I have any summer weekends taken yet so I'm pretty open right now.

dmc27 04-29-2010 10:09 AM

Date change or route change?


Maybe a similar route to what we did in 07 would be best. Rt 9 through VT and up into the NY area.


Thoughts?

otakurx 04-30-2010 09:42 AM

Interesting idea, a buddy of mine has a VT route planned and we put in a hill climb at Okemo as part of that route.

dmc27 05-14-2010 10:48 AM

I won't be able to do this in June - if at all this summer. Money just became insanely tight. Someone else will have to pick this up and go with it if it is to happen.

Sorry y'all. :(

ZumSpeedRX-7 05-14-2010 02:05 PM

I just found out my girlfriend and all of our friends had planned a camping trip in western Massachusetts for that weekend, so I am not going to be able to make the 12th and 13th (the weekend after is a bachelor party camping trip to Maine, so I cant make that weekend either.)

I move to reschedule the event. I can still help with organization. I know there has been a lot of scheduling conflicts. If this is the only weekend everyone can do it, then go ahead with it.

Josh- once everything is finalized I will post it up on NEPOC. We had some MS6s last year; the variety was good. I don't think we want it to be as big of an event as the Cape cruise is though; harder to manage especially when tourist season is in the full swing of things.

otakurx 05-20-2010 01:56 PM

Agreed on the re-schedule

Nicole711 05-20-2010 08:09 PM

That actually sounds like a lot of fun, went on a motorcycle ride in that area, would be a BLAST in the 8!!!!

xfz 05-22-2010 06:06 PM

any news?

dmc27 05-24-2010 09:48 AM

Nope. Someone else will have to pick it up and run with it, from new dates to routes and leaders . . . plus everything in between.

:(

xfz 05-25-2010 01:30 PM

shame

otakurx 05-26-2010 05:24 AM

well I'll happily spear head this, but we need a date and it may have to be in July or August.

Nicole711 05-30-2010 08:02 PM

I would definitely go if someone else were to take it over, sounds like a real good time. July or Aug doesn't sound bad either!

mysterymachine 05-30-2010 10:11 PM

July sounds good.. Nice new england weather. I would b in if its around that time

otakurx 05-31-2010 07:48 AM

well, what day in July works for everyone?


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:03 PM.
