Foliage cruise roll call - Sunday 10/23 - North East F-Body Association

Formula413 · #1 10-16-2011, 11:30 PM

Here's the plan for the foliage cruise: We'll start at the Twin City Plaza in Fitchburg, MA, right off exit 30 on Route 2. We can meet in the parking lot at noon. The approximate address is 278 Whalon St, Fitchburg, MA. From there we'll hop on RT2 and head west for about 18 miles and pick up RT202 North at exit 19. We'll follow 202 for about 10 miles to Winchendon and then pick up RT12 East. We'll follow that through Ashburnham and most of the way back to Fitchburg then pick up RT2A, then that and a couple other roads will take us south to Princeton and Wachusett Mountain, where we will take the road to the summit. After we check out the views we can head back down the mountain and find a place to grab a bite to eat, there's a lot of options in the Fitchburg/Leominster area.

Two requests:
1. Please make an effort to show up on time. If noon is too early for people we could start at 1:00 instead, but there's no reason for half the people to be sitting around the parking lot for an hour waiting for people who knew the start time well in advance.

2. Stick around for dinner after the cruise! We're all talking time out of our weekend and spending money on gas to hang out together, so let's actually hang out and make a day of it.

Any questions?
