Default Northern CT Posse and others - Sunday ride

Sunday, November 18th. Weather looking pretty good for a fun ride.
A little scenery, a little lunch, some fun stops and twisty roads.
We will leave the Best Buy parking lot in Enfield, CT around 10:30 am.

Who's in?
bullmarket - 2
CTYANK2 - 1
vcam - 1
redrider - 1
passagemaker43 - 1

At this point, I think I can join in. Solo.
Hopefully roads will be clean, dry and warm enough for summer tires!

How are drag radials in 38 degree weather?

In for now, most likely solo, noticed today parts of 91N to Ma. and bridges already salted with the liquid stuff. Hopefully rain after the expected snow will wash it away, we'll see.

Would love to make this one, but as of now I am out. The potential for snow in the next couple of days, and the cold temperature predicted for Sunday are the reasons for my status. I would be hesitant to drive my summer tires at the projected temperatures for a long period of time. In any event enjoy the ride , and drive carefully. Joaquin

FYI, If they salt the roads, I will probably postpone for a week to let the rain wash off.

i see the liquid doom on the highways too, i'm also worried about the new extreme summer tires in the low temp. on a side note... any posse members with a aftermarket camshaft in an ls3 ? thinking about it but want to retain driveability.

Hey Senior Hombre, excellent. Looking forward to hearing it rip. Did you put an even hotter cam, or did you replace engine, or etc? Joaquin

I was hoping to get another ride in this season. Rain coming on Sunday and the roads and highways are still white from the salt or whatever. Unfortunately I think I am done. She’ll be ‘winterized’ soon.
