Re: NEX around the Quabbin?
This weekend I will be doing a semi trial run to Quabbin with my cousin who owns a 68 camaro roadster and my friend who owns an 02 corvette roadster. We will be doing breakfast in Winchendon and going down 32a to rt.9 passed and thru Quabbin and back up rt. 202. Should be about 80 miles or so. I will let you know how the roads are.

Re: NEX around the Quabbin?
What a great day for a ride!! 101/32A through petersham-ware is all new. Quabbin was full of people and the weather was great. I grabbed a couple of pics from the tower there to tease everyone, they are in my gallery. All in all we had a great day. Now time to relax and recuperate.(was about a 95 mile trip)

Welcome TLJack,
Let me be the first NEX member to welcome you!
Fill us in. Where are you from? Just purchased your car recently I presume.
Fun, The photos from the quabbin tower look good. So ya think it's gonna be a good run? I am looking forward to finally meeting up with you! As well as, alot of the other NEX members are looking forward to it also!
We did a parade in Wickford RI today and it was great fun! Only 3 of us but atleast we weren't out done by the PT Cruisers! Everyone along the parade route loved our cars!

Re: NEX around the Quabbin?
Thanks, ya I just got my XF last week. Great car. I Live in West Boylston, MA. What do you think of the Sprint Booster is it worth getting? Count me in for the run. My car is an 06 Blaze red LTD coupe. It's an auto, I kind of wish I got a stick but I got a great deal on this car so I had to go with it. I wish I could put a sunroof in it because I miss the open air but I guess there pretty tough to do on these cars.

I think it should be a fun ride. Lots of walking at the Quabbin to though so wear good shoes. I haven't been to wachusett in the summer so I am not sure what we will find there. Should be a good size ride for everyone mileage wise. The people I went with monday all want to do it again so I guess it was fun for them too.

Welcome TLJack nice bike to...what model...hard to tell on a thumbnail. There are about 4 good photo-ops at Quabbin...ride my v-rod there several times a year. I just got back from Seattle and drove the Pacific Coast to the Columbia River Gorge,,,,,,that is so nice.
Let's keep an open vote open for Bubba's Ribs...it is well worth the side trip.

How's this?
http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocalMaps...chen-Area.html
140 Main St, Sturbridge, MA 01566
It is right on the main road out of Sturbridge heading towards Southbridge. If you get to the Dunkin Donuts you went to far. Look for the crossfires that will be parked there.
