BBQ Chef Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I was one of the first to get there and the first to leave, but let me say that I had a great time riding with all of you. Special thanks to Jack, Ken, Curt, Fin, Sean, Bob etc. etc. It was great to see some old faces and meet a bunch of new people. I hope that the rest of the week is awesome for you guys and girls and I can't wait to see the pics and the videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchang Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hey Chef, which way did you drive up? I'm leaving today from north jersey and will probably be in the boston area by rush hour. Is it best just to take 95? Thanks PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pchang Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks! If I have to go through boston (which looks like I will be) then I just may call you. I was just hoping there was an alternate route going north first and then east through less populated areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Pchang, you could go up 84 through Hartford, (but that sucks during rush hour to) to I90/Mass Turnpike East to 495 North to 95 North. This route does a loop around Boston, ckeck it out on a mapp. I'll be able to cruise at 80 on The pike and 495. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Chef, I hope you found a TV and a date for Sunday night. If not, I taped Sopranos for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ Chef Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I took 84 up thruogh Hartford to the Mass Pike and 495 around Boston. It took between 6.5 and 7 hours driving time. Met back up with 95 going into New Hampshire. Skategoat, there is noHBO up there but I will catch it tonight on the in-demand. Thanks for the offer.

Mike T Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I haven't lived on the East Coast since 1995, but I used to make the best time from Jersey to the Botson area by taking the Merritt Parkway through Western CT. My exact route was: GW bridge Exit at Hudson Parkway, go north Hudson Parkway becomes Saw Mill Parkway Exit at Cross-County Parkway, east Exit at Hutchinson Parkway, north Hutchinson becomes Merrit at NY/CT line Exit at 91 north in Meriden 91 north to 84 east in Hartford I would have taken 495 from the Pike to hook up with 95 just south of the NH line as well. I found the parkways has less traffic, especially in rush hour, and although the speed limits were lower in a lot of places, there was never anyone checking, so I went just as fast. Of course my info may be woefully out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marilyn Cambers Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 BBQ ~ Conditions at the Loaf look optimal today, too bad you left! At least you got to get up there, unlike some of us who have to work work work!! :( Did you have to leave because you boiled and bbq'd all of the kielbasa up there? Hopefully NOT, I want mine coming home unscathed! :D Marilyn ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Marilyn Cambers Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 BBQ ~ Glad to hear you didn't touch Shred's kielbasa. While he wasn't boiled or bbq'd, at 1:30 this morning when he called, he WAS toasted. Don't know if he was celebrating Jack's birthday with him or without him. :p Hmmm ... now I'll have to talk to Bob, cuz the helmet is a very very sensitive piece of equipment!! :D Marilyn ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 My ECES cherry was popped this year. What an absolutely amazing time. I will make damn sure that I'm there next year as well - and for a longer week, too. I am in awe of the people that I got to ride with. I learned a lot in the three days that I was there. You guys ALL rip!!!! Every single one of you. (Nostalgic tear forming...sniff) And Madd boards absolutely deserve the reputation that they have. I'm still daydreaming of riding that 158 - I should have hopped on the 170, too. (sobbing uncontrolably) Thanks to all of the organizers for an amazing event. I'll be recruiting any riders I can for next year. Maybe I'll even get a room to sleep in, how posh. Again, thank you to everyone involved. I had an awesome time. I'm already looking forward to next years event. Paul and Rob...'till we meet again.:D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCrider Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Many thanks to curt,ken and jack. Had a fantastic time again. Already looking forward to next year. I'd like to try and fit in both SES and ECES next season. thanks to all the industry reps for joining the crowd although I didn't demo any boards(too busy learning how my new coiler workd) I did send many people to the tent. There's an awful lot of interest out there but usually never the opportunity to try it. Way to go guys. Hope y'all keep coming. Thoroughly enjoyed rippin it up with everyone. I've got smiley face tan lines from last week. the photos are great can't wait for the video rob cox not very much vertical around here to invite anyone for snowboarding but we have great MTNbiking for those willing to do the road trip to Ontario this summer.

ARCrider Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 hey willy, the gimp was already airlifted when we found the pants. They weren't whole either. I guess they were cut offs. and no blood to wash off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
