Just did a google map . And looked at the parking lots NOT BIG .... Do you know your way around. NP? Just washed the. Trailer. And the bike . Don't know it I am going to pack a rain suit. If I do it may not rain. But then if I do it may cause rain.

:Shrug:
So we plan on eating in NP . Can we go look at the yachts we can't afford to even start up.

We definitely plan to eat in Newport. Check out the Brick Alley Pub Review. Look at the 48 visitor photos. #4 of 176 restaurants in Newport. Best lobster roll and great salad bar. My mouth is watering. They handle large groups and take reservations.

Will we risk driving around Newport or take public transportation?

RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit Authority Bus Service)
________________________________________
RIPTA is the public transportation for RI and can be convenient for getting to/from Newport if you do not want the hassle of finding parking in the area. Since Newport is a colonial city, much of it was built long before the advent of cars. This can make parking a problem on busy summer weekends. Ample parking is available at the visitors center on America's Cup Ave, conveniently located as you enter Newport off the Newport/Jamestown Bridge.

RIPTA

1-DAY PASS--$6 for 24 hrs. of unlimited bus/trolley rides. Before paying, tell driver you want a 1-Day Pass. To use, swipe in swipe slot.

When should we have the trophy presentation
. When should we do door prizes And when will we all wear our shirts for the picture? Would be nice to all be in Newport in Orange!!!
We would have to do the shirts on Fri night after dinner or back at the motel .looks like it will be a great night to sit out and chat back at the Super 8. Pack cameras and chairs.
I have a ton of door prizes this year.

 

[spiritdream]

I think the door prizes etc would probably be best at dinner on Saturday.

 

[John Luciano]

Shirts are on Friday night PLEASE bring CASH $11.00 per shirt unless it is aN XXL then it is $13 each one of each is $24.00.
Would like to pay for Motel and food with the money.
I think the shirts should be worn on Sat for the ride and or dinner.

 

[Coach 64]

John:
I agree with Cheri, give out the shirts on Fri, do the prizes on Sat. night.
Just my 2 cents.
