~~~NEW RIDERS WELCOME~~~


Things to know:
  • Arrive with a full tank of gas. We are meeting at a gas station. Easy fill up there.
  • Make sure your bike is in good operating condition. (Chain lubed? Check tire pressure?)
  • As usual we will break into groups depending on who shows up (to accommodate varying skill levels) if necessary.
  • Everyone is expected to ride within their comfort level.
  • Safety is our priority.
  • Experienced riders who wants to ride a mellow pace are always welcome.
  • Volunteers for lead and sweep always welcome and appreciated.
  • We will be making several planned stops to regroup and stretch any sore legs.
  • All riding levels are welcome, Mellow pace required. PM or post if you have concerns.
  • If you arrive after the pre ride speech, you must ride in the last group until the first rest stop.
  • All riders are expected to have a basic understanding of our planned route.

  • We will NEVER have a “A pace” group. Drag knees? No. Find a different ride.
  • You can't ride without getting an 'achievement award'.... Find a different ride.

Route: (approx 80 miles, 3 hours seat time + Pit stops)

Ever been to a track day? No? Join a MGR Track day in 20151 PM for info!
 
Would be down but got to get my wheels off and new tires put on. Dont think it will be done in time.
 
Posted this late, so I don't think we will have more than 10 or so. Jan is too cold for most, keeps em home, warm and snuggled up with a movie. :)
 
Damn too bad I'm going to the Levi's Stadium field hang out otherwise I would go. :(
 
I went opposite direction coming from CV Palomares, up Niles to Calaveras. Was sportin blue and white leathers on blue and white tuono :ride

I saw a bunch of you and gave y'all a nice big :twofinger salute when I could; one finger during the twisties :p

At least I thought it was a bunch o BARFers. If not, my apologies for flying the fingers so blatantly to all my motobrethren on Calaveras this morning :teeth

Hope everyone makes it home safely. Was a great day to ride!!!
 
Damn, I missed out on this thread, woulda been in.. been waiting for another BigB ride to pop up!
Will have to catch you next time.
