Segway NY January Meeting 01/04/05@6pm

[SegwayBill]

It is that time again for our monthly meeting.
To keep things fair the group has decided to always meet on the 4th of each month.
Tuesday January 4th at 6PM, we will be meeting at a new location.
At 23rd street and the Hudson river it is a floating dock called the Frying Pan, It is just north of basketball city and Chelsea piers.
Forecast is for rain and snow, what a suprise!
We will meet at the Frying pan then glide over to Chelsea piers, it is semi indoors and will allow us to glide dry.
Dinner will be at the restaurant called the Brewery at Chelsea piers. There is limited free parking please contact me for directions. The M23 bus has its last stop right at the piers.
Dress warm, gloves and hats are advised it will still be cold but dry.
The February meeting is on a Fiday the 4th @ 8pm I have already reserved us an indoor space, the same one we used last winter.

We had 7 people attend with meeting with six Segway HTs. Stan, Joanne, Steve, Jonathan, Andrew, Justin and his father Craig. We ate at a restaurant called The Brewery. And we all talked about - guess what? - Segway stuff.

Afterwards, Justin and I rode a ways south on the west side bike path along the Hudson. We rode around the piers of Chelsea Piers and some of the parks along the way. We did some slolum courses around giant cleats for tying up the large boats. We bounced down a few sets of stairs.

About 1/2 way back, my batteries died. So, I showed Justin how to push another Segway rider in such a way that enables the Segway getting pushed to recharge his batteries. It worked rather well as Justin pushed me all the way back to the parking lot without needing any walking.

It was a great evening spending some time with other Segway enthusiasts and getting in a good nighttime glide along the Hudson River.

It was great to meet you all last night. Sorry I had to leave early. I left the piers and headed to Times Square to meet my girlfriend at a company 'Christmas' party. Not problems gliding down 42nd street! See you next month. -A
