Kangamagnus Cruise

[h4robkr123]

Just gauging interest if anyone would be interested in meeting up at like the lower falls on the conway side, or loon on the lincoln side. We would then cruise to the top and stop at the rest stop on the very top, where pictures and a small gettogether would be possible. We could then cruise back down and maybe eat in North Conway or something along those lines.

Just get back to me if you are interested, and what dates would work.

About 3/4 of the highway was just paved, so the ride is absolutely amazing.

EDIT:

The cruise will definitely be October 12. We will meet at loon at 11, and leave shortly thereafter. The cruise will go up the Lincoln side up to one of the top rest stops. We will take pictures and have a small GTG. While up top we will choose a restaurant, and the cruise will go down the Conway side of the Kank to the chosen restaurant.

dude i just drove up there to meet a kid from maine a weekish ago and the highway was amazing! i will get people who will want to do this. i know they will. we're waiting until i get my clutch and mono 10's on though. should all be done this week or next if all goes as planned.

[mainer0311]

I'm in as long as it isn't this weekend...

[h4robkr123]

It wouldn't be this weekend or next weekend due to the End of Summer Jam and H20i. I was thinking either first or second Saturday in October, that way the leaves will have changed allowing for some good shots at the top.

[mainer0311]

That sounds good. I also just relized that the 5th wont work for me, but that is a Sunday so it shouldn't be a problem. We could post this on a local forum when you get a date if you want a huge turn out. In the past I've put together a White Mountain cruise with 40+ dubs and audis from Maine/NH.

Well I'm new to getting shit like this done, as I've only had my license for 8 months, and haven't been to any of these. As of now I'm leaning towards the 10th so there will be plenty of notice, and a rest weekend for all of the people going to H20i.

[doublezero30]

ide have to do a sunday...work every saterday

[mainer0311]

The 10th is a friday. H4robkr123 where are you from?? The best way to set one of these up is to pick a date and tell people what time, where, and what loop we will be driving.

I'll be happy to post this up on the local forum like I said after we have a date.

Oh haha I meant the 11th. I'm from gilmanton, in the lakes region. As of now meet at Loon at 11, or later whatever is needed, then up to the top. Pictures at the top then down to Conway. In Conway eat at whatever restaraunt anyone wants. Also if everyone wants it on a Sunday it could be changed to the 12th.

sunday works better for me...im in

[h4robkr123]

Alright Sunday the 12th it is. Meet at Loon at 11. Anyone have any good recommendations for restaurants in North Conway?

[mainer0311]

I may show up, may not it depends on how things go with getting another local cruise going.

Cafe Noche is good food if you like mexican and it is right at the bottom of the kank. In north conway you've got the 99 or Applebees.

Remember, this is peak leaf peeper weekend. Do it VERY EARLY in the morning, right at sunrise or you will taking this road at 25 mph in a long line of cars and swearing all the way.

[Billasec4life]

Im in

Sundays work

[h4robkr123]

So does the date and time work for everyone?

[Jimbobdaga]

I wish I didn't have to work every weekend I have been wanting to drive Kangamagnus ever since I got my car, If you guys do the ride Have Fun!

[Audituning02]

I'm in..and there are a couple good places to stop and eat in N. Conway. The Muddy Moose is an alright place has decent bar, kind of a family sort of place. May Kelleys Cottage is an Irish place thats pretty good and Horse Feathers is a great Bar/Restaurant .

[h4robkr123]

One problem with the bars... I have another 5 years to go.

[ginkof]

im guessing you guys are talking about conway NH not conway mass right? I really wish i could come.... but i work every weekend. Once i get my car back im definitely going to be taking some drives up in that direction and racking a few miles on my S. have fun guys!

[Audituning02]

Thats all set the restaurants are good...besides it'll be pretty early in the day and I'm only a moderate alcoholic

[h4robkr123]

One week, who's coming?

[ItzDarrellS4]

ive been up on the kank (hiking) the past 3 weeks, and by 11 oclock, the kank is going to be PACKED with leaf peepers. conway has been bumper to bumper traffic. its also Loon's Octoberfest this weekend. you may want to consider going earlier. ill be up in the area, you planning on heading back over the kank into lincoln?

[h4robkr123]

Alright, this seems like it's going to be a real task to do this. The only problem is it's too late to just decide to give up and reschedule for sometime in November I think.

if your going for a spirited drive, than forget it all together. past the end of the month the higher elevations in the pass can get snow, and nasty frost heaves.

this weekend will be great for foliage, and for a leasurly drive, so go for it. its supposed to be in the 70s. just dont plan on ripping through the twistys

[h4robkr123]

Yeah it's been cancelled with a possible reschedule due to the whole traffic situation up there.

[ScratchRob13]

I'll try to be there

[mainer0311]

It was good that you didn't have it saturday, I had to deliver a car to vermont Saturday. The ride over was fine, early in the morning. But on the way home I sat in traffic for an hour in Lincoln and didn't go over 40 all the way up and over.

Give it a few weeks for the people to clear out.
