Departure time today was 0915 from Stratford.  Because of the route, instead of going down I95 we go due north, so I drove to the DD to meet the guys.  Arriving at 0900, the Captain and Anonymous Ed and his better half were already there.  Within a few minutes, Scott and another Anonymous guy showed up making it a party of 6 – The Captain announced that he would not be going with us due to some unexpected family issues so it was 4 bikes and 5 people.  

Anonymous Ed very eagerly asked if he could lead the ride – We were so thrilled that we all went out to his bike to help him program the address into his GPS – What a sport!

We departed a couple minutes late but no big deal – we headed up Rt 25 to 84 west to 87 – Traffic was light and we arrived at the Hickory at 1115 – walked right in and had our pick of a table.  Service was a little slow but the food was very good and a nice portion – and priced right.

We were back in the saddle around 1230 – Anonymous Ed and the other anonymous guy were going to Empire Harley in New York so when Scott and I broke off at the 84/87 split, they continued towards the city.  Scott broke off just as we were entering Ct towards Stamford and I continued to Rt7 s – 

All in all a good ride and good weather and an excellent point man!!!

Until next week Ride Safe
