Spring is going to be here faster then I like to think. I'm down for a meet up coming up. Sundays work best for me, but Saturdays work if I can get enough notice to get off work.

Well,, Friday was ok.... It was good for me,, wind from about 9am to 11am,,, thats why I say good for me.... The ten minute ride to the beach was worth it for me. But anyone else coming from normal long distances, it would have been a waste. So it was good that no one else could make it. but anyway I think I may have my best video yet from the day here... let me know.

I'll be there bright and early tomorrow..untangling my Speed. (Then packing it away because 20mph winds don't sound fun with that kite.)

Can't wait. Bringing my dads GPS running thing to track speeds.

Nice music selection :)

I had early bird special that day. Due to wind forecast (SE, perfect for buggy ride), I was so excited that I woke up before dawn. When I got to the beach, it was blowing 15 ~ 20mph, SE. I pulled out 2M and started riding until NJ Buggy Club gangs showed up. When I stopped to greet those guys, my GPS showed 9 mile trip with max over 25mph.

Then Ryan showed up and wind died..... :( :smilegrin:

It was a great day for sure. As always, we should do that again!!!

Ya know brain,

If I knew you were going to be there so early,,, I could have made it there also and got that terrific ride in........ You just wanted to cut out the "Lucky Guy" didn't you? Well I will be redeeming myself soon...... really thinking about getting a Landboard.

Yes, I wanted to be "Lucky" Brian so bad :singing:

This kite thing is so addictive. I have hard time to come to work on-time (8am that is) yet, I wake up 4:30 am without alarm to go buggy.....

Thats perfect for the speed...trying to find out if my friends are going to come down with me, but the ride situation is cleared up. You should see me though.

now, it's summer and with lifeguards on the beach, we probably have to wait until fall. In the mean time, however, we are planning one summer night "moon light buggying" so stay tuned at NJBuggyClub.com
