Group Ride 08/19/12 La Porte

From the consensus at the meet and greet, we have more enthusiasm for riding than riding and swimming. I know that would change if half our members were Hooters calendar girls, but until such time, I guess we're changing Sundays ride from a swim ride to only a ride.

So, north route. Meet at 8:30. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we won't be subject to rain showers when we return to Reno.

See you there.

Well I was planing on going but I have to take care of some things tomorrow, I know I'm missing out on a great ride.

I woke up this morning and decided I'm ridin' wit y'all today.

I'll be waiting just passed the first roundabout on hwy 89 north of I-80.

GreenMachine · August 19, 2012, 07:49:33 AM

I had an awful nights sleep last night. Can't seem to wake up. May have to ride in back today.

Sorry I wasn't able to ride with you guys.

We determined La porte was a bit too much for a beginner. Anyone on the board willing to do a slow ride with a n00b today? PM me if so and we'll coordinate.

Edit:
A problem with my gauges turned out to be more serious than I thought. I had to rush the bike to the dealer for warranty work. No riding for me today.

I'm thinking I'm heading out later with some buds

dub · August 19, 2012, 08:06:07 PM

Another good one in the books.

I left the house at 8am this morning, got back at 745pm and logged 430 miles. That's what I call a Sunday ride!

Twelve hours in the saddle. That one piece of road with the perfect asphalt and turns. I don't know how you would top this. Great ride. The vids I shot have gotta be very good.

Ditto that

Hot digity! Glad you made it out with us today Dub. It was such a nice afternoon when I returned to Reno, I rode around a little bit more. Not quite as far for me as it was for you and KKM.

Awesome, AWESOME, AWESOME day of riding! Thanks everyone for a safe and sane ride.

It was a great ride out to Quincy and back.

Yeah, glad we didn't drop down into the central valley; I heard from the CHP that there were some trouble makers down that way.

Looks like I missed out on a great ride today.
