We should start planning now - a couple of things to consider - we should plan a couple of dates - not everyone can make it on a certain date - I sugguest maybe a spring, mid summer, and fall date. Summer is probably the funnest, and will get the most people. However - the island is the most crowded during the peak months (between mem and labor day). Lots of traffic and people everywhere. Spring (late Spring) is probably good - before the crowds arrive, and to ge out there and smell the ocean air after a long winter. Fall is probably the best time to do a run. Less crowds - good climate for skating - ocean water temps are at their highest in September (for those who might want to take a break and cool off in the ocean).
I am down for the 4th of July - but my concern is the crowds. Plus many folks go away for this holiday, and may not be around. Ferry rides out there might be sold out way in advance too. I know RI is wicked packed that week - I usually avoid heading to RI that holiday weekend.
Reply with your thoughts and suggestions. The more time we have to get the word out, post flyers and get everyone involded, the more turn out we will have. Let's double the crowd we had last year!
That Guy - I am sure some folks can make it out that week. It is such a fun island to bomb...
Rbriggs - any chance Pat can join us for this annual event?

i think after the 4th would be the best. It's def. gonna be really packed on and around that day but later in the summer would be great.
A nice hot day to cool off at the beach later sound sweet.
No matter what date though, i'm down!
I will DEFINITELY be there with my crew. I can help spread the word in whatever way possible.
I've never been to Block Island...so what's the ferry cost? How long would we stay? WHERE would we stay? hahah. I don't mind tenting it on the beach if we have to.
There are a bunch of B&B's. LOTS of bars
Ferry is... 40 bucks if you have a car? Like, $11 if you're on foot I think.

Derek its pretty much the same as going to fishers; the island itself has a lot more hills. Plus you drive a little further to get to the ferry but it isnt bad; mopeds = awesome but expensive.

Hmmm sounds good then. Fourth of July would be fun, but probably hella busy on the island...?

This is whatever you want it to be.
We all meet on block island and skate all day.
The 4th of july probably isn't a good time to go.
I was thinking way before that anyways.
And remeber this doesn't really have to be a one time thing.
I hope we do it a few times this years its fun.
Skate all day in the sun.
Swim in the ocean.
Whatever you wanna do.
