2015 ride season begins - Markleeville 05/03/15

GreenMachine · April 29, 2015, 08:59:36 AM

Planned 9:30 AM kickstands up (KSU).* Conditions for the extended forecast show above normal temperatures, so if mother nature is going to serve up early June morning temps at the beginning of May, we might as well enjoy it.

RSVP** if you're planning on going. If you do not RSVP, the ride may be canceled even if you had planned on showing up the day of the ride. We'll depart on the ride as soon as everyone arrives and is ready, meaning, that if there are any newb riders, I will go over some of the key items they'll need to know.

South route ride. This is a minimum C level ride pace route, so all riders welcome. Meet at the Geiger Maverik Country Store.

As always, see 2015 SSA Ride Schedule for everything that is expected of you and what you can expect. *** Safety is paramount. ***

Hope to see you there.

* KSU dependent on when everybody is ready.
** RSVP - répondez, s'il vous plaît a.k.a. please reply.

I'm in. I vote to add Ebbetts and eat up there or M'ville. Ebbetts is open now, we can make it a scouting run on the way up to check for gravel etc. and then pick it up on the way back.

The Sierra FOGs are doing Monitor tomorrow (Friday). The entire 18 mile stretch has been sand free for over two weeks now!

Be careful out there kids!

Sweet pic Jimbo. Nice to see your out of hibernation. Unfortunately cant make this ride.

I'm joining. See you guys Sunday!

I like SS's idea about where to stop to eat.

FC, looking forward to hearing all about T-hill.

I think I'm going to come along. I might have a first timer with me, friend of mine I'm trying to talk into buying my CBR. If so I will sweep.

Brian...what did you get to replace the Honda? I sold mine too.

Sub-Sonic · May 02, 2015, 05:20:27 PM

I'll catch up with you guys between VC & 50 around 9:50- 10:00 or whenever you run through there, so don't wait for me at Maverick.

We will have a lot of people on this ride who haven't posted up but have let me know they are coming too. Something for everybody tomorrow.

I should mention, that SS had wanted to ride to Ebbetts first before doing monitor. I know some of tomorrow's riders won't be able to make it that far and instead will do Monitor only, then return home. So keep that in mind, but let's keep everyone on the same page, so we don't miss someone along the way, i.e. let's be clear as to who is doing what so we can split into two groups, if that's what ends up happening.

i'm in. first ride of the season sounds good.

nvgixxer · May 03, 2015, 08:28:35 AM

Have fun guys, three of us did Monitor and part of Ebbetts two days ago. Monitor is clear but be advised that approximately one mile into Ebbetts where it goes into a single lane there is some sand in the roadway. We turned around at that point and did Monitor again.

Thank you for the heads up Jimbo!
