Possibly a couple people on local forums?

Details:
I mapped out the route for a nice Berkshires cruise. This cruise will start in Pittsfield MA, and is basically a giant square. Basically we could start somewhere where it says "Meet", there is a nice parking lot there right by the lake we could meet at. Then from there we go north through Adams, MA, and hit Route 2 (very nice drive here) and go east. Then we hit the route 12 down to route 9.

If this is the route we choose, its 97.8 miles including to Mt. Greylock. Google Maps tells me 2 Hours, 57 minutes. IF we don't choose to do the Greylock run, we're looking at 2 hours, 25 minutes, and 84.6 miles. But I def think we should go to the mountain.. awesome views!

Below is the rough cruise route and some pics of Mt Greylock taken by a friend (my ex gf.. lol). If anyone has any suggestions, etc let me know! If you want to attend just post, and if you know you're bringing anyone else also let me know so I can (try) to make the Attendees list accurate!

OH, and the road to the top of the mountain has been all redone as of last year, so it's nice and smooth.. AND it has a couple hairpin turns.. just be careful! There are also a couple nice stops on the way where we can take nice pics or just admire the scenery, lol.

ROUTE:


Mt. Greylock






Sooo let's get a nice cruise going guys! Even if your car isn't up to par, or not ready.. if you can get A car just to come out and take a nice cruise.. do it!

Sounds good! Bring as many as you can! I also posted this on MassDriven.com so may get a few from there as well (it's a small forum though).

PS All roads are lowered friendly!

Well, I have bad news myself anyways. Car died yesterday. Charging System fuse keeps blowing. Looking for wire short, but car is at the tuner now. I'm going to be getting a whole new engine harness since I'm fed up with this stupid rich problem I'm having. Hoping this works, though if I don't get everything settled in time (which I most likely won't), my car is also out. I can still ride with my friends LGT though. s**t sucks, but I need my car running right. Tuner is about an hour and a half away from me and my car died with about 30 miles to go. AAA towed it, but bill still came to $121. Dang.
