    [Original] rough plan: start first thing Saturday morning on Cape Cod with Barnstable/Ptown, work my way to Falmouth, then up and over to some of the South Shore groups, and eventually towards town.

    Sunday morning, I'm thinking of starting in Gloucester and working my way towards the Merrimack Valley, then metro west.

    My plans: For the past four years, I have been juggling the 2 day MS Cape Cod Ride and FD touring. I will be finished with my Saturday assignment in Cohasset about 1200. I then plan to go counterclockwise and north to sites on the south and north shores (perhaps CAAA as well), then west to PART and then to southern section sites before going to the Cape sites in the late evening. Overnight in Orleans.

    Sunday I am tied up all day in Brewster supporting the MSS CCR event.
