Cape Cod Summer Cruise?

[black heartbeat]

Gauging some interest on maybe having a cruise along the cape cod shoreline sometime in the summer?

[Motaboata]

Yes definitely

[My84Z]

sure

[Formula413]

We actually have an annual Cape Cod meet in the summer hosted by the one and only John the Badger, and we do plenty of "cruising" for that. This meet is also known as the Cape Cod autocross :haha:

I was thinking about one cruise going down the entire coast his house is right in falmouth and I was thinking of going starting around there and going all the way to Yarmouth or so

[bottledbird68]

I'd be interested pending when...

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

[Last of a Breed]

You map it out!

[irockidz28]

[black heartbeat]

couldn't seem to embed it

[irockidz28]

over all it looks like a pretty run

[black heartbeat]

its a lot shorter than it looks about 30 miles roundtrip

[black heartbeat]

google maps fucked up my map I need to do it again

[black heartbeat]

fixed it and google maps was wrong the distance is wayyyyyyyyyyyy longer than it said originally. I'm thinking of cutting it down its roughly 55 miles to unos then a 18 mile return. I'll make another map and everyone can decide which one they want because I know its a hike just to make it to the cape for guys like alex and boomer and I don't want to tack another 70 miles on top of it if they aren't up for it

[irockidz28]

do we remember how many miles the quabbin was? that was a pretty good distance

[Formula413]

77 miles round trip from the start point

[irockidz28]

with out summer cape cod tourist traffic...which might not be as bad this year with gas prices going up

[black heartbeat]

I really want to do this cruise but I need to play it by ear and i've designed this cruise to avoid a lot of the traffic for the most part except for when you are in good scenery and don't care how fast you are going. I've also set it up so we can hold in different areas to recollect. I'll be keeping tabs on it and I'll be keeping tabs on the traffic, and will be cruising the route to make sure there won't be any problems I also just modified it and shortened it a bit to avoid some problem intersections

[irockidz28]

^probably want to play it around fixing your car lol it would kinda suck to set it up then not go cuz of your car lol

[VinnyDz28]

I'm down

[black heartbeat]

I'm pulling the tranny tommorrow I need to get her on the road FAST! I wanna make the Quabbin cruise in time

[irockidz28]

so you got like two months..thats not too bad

[Badger87TA]

We can use my house as a staging point. Since everyone coming from off cape will be going past it anyways. more or less. Also I could tag along with someone so I can focus on taking pictures the whole time. I would like to get my headgaskets done if Pizza will ever bring his lazy ass down here! But since I need to pay for school I probably wont have my TA on the road. Oh well. Either way, im down.

[Badger87TA]

Cape Cod Autocross FTW!

[black heartbeat]

definitely man,k i need to get my car on the road too actually lol

[black heartbeat]

ok now that my car is almost on the road and it's starting to warm up I'm starting to set up a date-ish on when the cruise will be. I was thinking late May to Early June before the kids get out and the roads are jam packed. Any input?

[midnight]

end of May puts it really close to the Quabbin...not complaining about 2 cruises within a couple weeks of each other but sometimes its a deciding factor

[Formula413]

I still think it would be best to incorporate this with our Cape Cod meet/party.

[black heartbeat]

well the reason I didn't want to incorporate it in is because if you get the timing off too much we will be driving by the beaches at low tide, meaning it will smell like ass. lol we could push it back to mid june but that could be an issue with traffic

[midnight]

alex, details on the cape cod meet? looked for the thread but didnt find it

[Formula413]

You went to it ya dope!!! :haha:

I'm referring to Badger's party

[midnight]

well ya i went to it, it was like 2 years ago and you referenced it which made me believe there was one set for this year but i couldnt find a thread for it.

[Formula413]

We haven't made it official or set a date, but it's pretty safe to assume it will happen, unless Badger can't do it for some reason

[midnight]

got ya...ill keep an eye out then

[black heartbeat]

Well regardless of whether badger has the party on the same day I'd like to have this thing pretty early before the traffic gets annoying. I'm thinking mid June at the latest

[Formula413]

Or after Labor Day, Cape quiets down a little then

[black heartbeat]

then the weather goes down the pooper tho

[irockidz28]

i think traffic will be a little less this year because of the gas prices anyways...atleast i can hope anyways lol

[Badger87TA]

I guess I have pretty good timing, I havent been on in over a month, and I just happen across this today.. This is my input. I say we keep the party, and the Cape cruise separate. Gives people TWO chances to make it down. Party is more of a laid back day, with a cruise.

The CC Cruise should be more cruise oriented with a lunch place. But I agree to do it early June to avoid most of the traffic. Party should still be mid august, NOT road race weekend!! haha. Last years date and traffic wasnt too bad right?

Anyways, We can still use my house as a starting point, if needed. As for the summer, at some point I'm going to Africa for a week or so or something, plans arent made yet, but we'll still party hardy!

No 3rd gen for me this year, no job = no money for gas + insurance. Too much school going on. But i'll be more than happy to sit shotgun for once!I want to get some SICK ride along pictures, low profile on the road!

If you need my input hit me up via text, or FB, I'm wicked busy these days, and the will get ahold of me pretty quickly.

FUCK YA BRUINS!

[black heartbeat]

Sounds good badger, I'm thinking June 11th fourth cruise which is the second weekend of June and a Saturday. Any objections? Input?

[c4boom]

ill probably be flying solo this year man you can tag along with me if you want

[Badger87TA]

Saturdays are usually best days for me

[black heartbeat]

any most input on the date and what would be best for people before i put up the roll call? cause I don't wanna put it up and change the date and fuck everyone up but I'm flexible either way

[Formula413]

I can't say for sure that I'm down either way but the 11th would be tough for me cause I'm leaving for Maine the next day. 18th and 25th are questionable too. Not that you have to plan around me by any means though.

[black heartbeat]

i don't want to goto the 18th because I think that traffic will be too bad by then. what about the 4th? That seem too close to the quabbin cruise? I mean it is about three weeks away

[midnight]

ill probably make both the quabbin and this..lol i was just thinking ahead..but doing it june 11th makes them almost a month apart, which is good.

we just gotta worry about making sure Ron keeps the monte on the road and not in a tree this year lol

[ls6monte]

I don't know about that! lol :Oops: :Oops: :Oops:

[black heartbeat]

well i was thinking if everyone can make the 4th then Alex could maybe make it as well and although I know not everyone would be able to come it might be one more person that could make it. idk i don't have much logic in my thoughts anymore lol. I'll make a roll call for june 11th tomorrow unless otherwise noted but will leave it up to argument so if needed the date can be changed

[Badger87TA]

I think the 11th, is a good starting point. Post it up and see how peoples schedules work out. Sorry Alex, We can always to a late in the year get together if you can't swing this one. Don't forget you can come early and leave early.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

wait what?

[irockidz28]

party?

um the 4th i cant do i have my sisters grad party

[black heartbeat]

wait what?

SHUT UP PIZZA!!!

[black heartbeat]

Well I checked the tides for both the 11th and the 4th because I don't want us to be cruising the shoreline at low tide because it smells not too great. We will be hittin low tide by 2pm on the 11th meaning it will smell for the hours before that and the few hours after which makes for a sucky day. But the 4th low tide kicks on at 8 pm and 8 am. Which means no smelly. I have to say that it would be better to go on the 4th but if you guys would rather do the 11th I'm fine with that

[ls6monte]

I won't be around the 4th either.

[black heartbeat]

I'm gonna post the roll for for the 11th then and we'll just see how it goes, the earlier we get going tho the better

[midnight]

i wouldnt worry about the tide, we all live around water...were used to it lol
