Okay Steve, I have been thinking on a meet point for you and I. I am thinking that you will be driving south on 95 in CT? I have picked a road, it's the Cross Westchester Expressway 287 Westbound. I will meet you on the off ramp at Exit 9 N-S. I will be on the shoulder of the ramp and we can meet there as it is wide enough to be out of harm's way.
Now I will get on to Doug from Mystic, as he is riding with me, to see if he is agreeable to meeting you on your way down 95 from his neck of the woods. I don't know what his preferences would be on this set up. It kind of makes sense to me if you and Doug convoy down 95 from Mystic to NY state. I figure it will take all of us about 45 minutes to hook up, drive down to my abode so I can drop off the DD & ride with Doug to where my Z lives and then get back after it. At the very worst we will be crossing the GW bridge into NJ & points south by about 7AM if we plan on a 6AM meet on the ramp off 287.
Of course this is subject to discussion so that we all can get comfortable with a plan that works for all of us.
I'm figuring that you had planned on hitting NY state/CT border at about 6AM? Or do I have that wrong? Did you figure on hitting the GW bridge at 6AM? There is a slight difference in that I'm about 30 minutes north of the GW bridge. Anyway, let me know what you think and had planned, okay?
Tom
