TYP356ne 10th Anniversary Tour
Sunday, July 19, was an absolutely great day for the 10th Anniversary tour. Warm, sunny and with low humidity. George Huff guided us on a beautiful run through an historic and lovely part of Massachusetts. Starting in Lexington, we drove through Concord and Carlisle, up to Groton, then to Stowe. We went through a number of villages that most people had never heard of before. Forge Village, Still River, and Gleasondale, to name a few. With 33 people in 17 cars, we cruised for 2 hours along 50 miles of winding Massachusetts back roads. The weather could not have been better. It was a top down, sunroof open, type of day.
Being such a nice day, there were lots of bicycle riders all along the route. At times, with the narrow roads and oncoming traffic, we had to tread slowly so as not to hit any of the two wheel peddlers. It was great fun to watch the reaction of the people we passed along the way. One woman got out of her car at an intersection to take some pictures of the Porsches cruising by. Others would just stop what they were doing to see us all pass. It was amazing to see the number of cars that actually stopped at intersections and waited while we passed so we all could stay together. Not everybody, but a lot did. There were a couple of round-a-bouts where we got a chance to see and wave to all of the other cars in the group.
A group of us got to Nancy’s at the Stow airport around noon time as expected. There was another group who were a little late (something about missing a turn???), but everyone made it in time for lunch. Nancy’s gave us the full outdoor patio with large umbrellas for shade. With a slight breeze and the low humidity, it was very comfortable. Darlene and I have only been to a few club events and don’t know many people, but it really didn’t matter. We had an instant connection with everyone there and that made for some easy conversations with some interesting people over a casual lunch.
Thanks George for organizing this fun event.
