David did you figure in BS time. You guys love to chat once you all get together. :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

 

Margaret

Yes about 10-15 min at each stop!:confused07: Might not be enough time. but we can make up time on the road. Also we will not have to get you into your many layers of clothing so that should save time:whistling::rotf::stirthepot:

I and RTR are going and we're coming from West Virginia North on Interstate 81 to Chambersburg and on to U.S. 30 Lincoln Way to Gettysburg so anyone coming I-81 want to meetup and ride in as a group chime up.:Venture:

Jeff can lead to make up time if you want. Plus all those other 2nd gens that haven't ridden with us will find their rev limiters.

I don't take that long to get all my layers on. Jeff helps me get dressed to speed it up. :crackup::crackup:

I agree that it is a longer ride.

I could take a more direct route also that would be about 1 hour less, however i enjoy the ride and esp.. with friends so i'll be taking the adVENTURE on this day.

Weather forecast for Gettysburg on Saturday:

 

Partly Cloudy, 69 degrees.

 

Should be a great day!

 

Please count me out on this ride. I originally thought my schedule is wide opened for this Saturday, but my daughter reminded me about her Open House on Sat. AM as well. We are looking around for Colleges and Universities for her and I think this is an important event for her and I should be there.

 

Have a great time this Saturday. Ride Safe Everyone.

I understand! Two weeks ago we were at Bucknell. Next week we are at Susquehanna. Enjoy your FAFSA!
