Anyone planning on going tomorrow?

Had not given it much thought. Maybe. Are you thinking the summit route on the schedule or something passes through CC so you can intercept us there?

I know Dragon wants to go riding.

Nothing firm, just saw the scheduled ride and wondered if I had missed the conversation. I would like to intercept @Markleeville or Woodfords if anyone coming that way.

Or a good Hot weather ride is up Rose, around lake, down Spooner to CC, up truck route to VC back to Reno. Can be done in less than 2 hours, but you do 3 passes in less than 90 miles. Not many places can that be done. It also is cool everywhere but Carson.

Really not a bad run for a quick easy one..............

I'm in for a moderate ride Sunday. Like the idea of something south. I've promised the Mrs we'd go out for coffee at Homage in the morning at 8:30. If anyone wanted to come its a popular local spot. Excellent baked goods to go with coffee. If not, I could probably make a 9:30 meet up.

Meet you guys down there, I suppose, if RG's good with that.

I don't drink coffee nor eat that stuff, but I can still meet you there. Dragon's going to be there too. Just spoke to him.

I know RG drinks coffee, apparently he didnt get to finish his coffee last outing. I couldnt turn my bike off because I was charging my battery so I guess I owe him one.

great call, sounds cool. Everyone will have a place to lie to their friends,

No, all good, see all 8:30 - 9:00..................

Pushing 9:00 AM now?

Alright. You guys have your coffee and crumpets. I'll be along after 8:30.

A DRAGON · August 07, 2016, 08:14:31 AM

I got here early. I just had to check this place out. So far no drama. How disappointing. Wanted to see a cat fight.

GreenMachine · August 07, 2016, 08:01:03 PM

Ton of fun with you guys today! So many too!

Glad everyone was able to follow the change-up for the morning meet up plan and for waiting for the straggler.

East shore wasn't too terribly bad, just slow going due to pedestrians walking along the sides. Took Jerome's short-cut through Incline. Having split up into two groups made everyone happy.

Got to ride Vr's Duc and he mine. Both our backs ached, but it was fun to try something different and for each of us to see how our bikes looked from others' perspective.
