lets ride Sat 7/15 or Sun 7/16 - early

[jesters636]

I decided to start a new thread to make sure we can get a ride together for this upcomming weekend. I just wanted to make sure to have the current dates so members will take a look. I would like put together a Sunday ride if at all possible that way Brian is able to go because Sunday is his only day off. I know if we leave early (8:30) as we did on the last run, we can make it back in plenty of time for the Moto GP races which start at 2:00. I'm up for Bishops and lunch, meeting the Denver guys or whatever we can put together, as long as we can get out and ride. Count me in for Sat or Sun

[Stuart Little]

Sunday I work at 12 but could push it to 1ish so I'd be down for a ride if we could meetup early as suggested. Morrison conoco? Castle Rock? Downtown? A-Town? All are fine with me.

[The Black Knight]

I'm down for Bishop's Robbie. Not really thrilled about heading North. I like your plan of leaving early and being back around noon. Let me know dude...

[-PUCK-]

Sunday would be best for me. (early is cool too) Saturday I am all tied up with some stuff we're doing with guys I work with.

[Stuart Little]

Well early sunday seems good for everyone. Are you all up for a mixed denver/springs ride? I'm interested in meeting some of the ppl I've "known" for a few years.

[SS929]

I have work every saturday. So no saturday rides for me. I always have sunday open. If its a preplanned ride I can normally take the time off, given enough heads up, say about two weeks.

[godspeed409]

sundays good with me too... when and where?

[madkaw77]

hello to all. i just joined the site, and i live in flornce so i thought i would let you guys know that if you are planning on the bishops castle ride that hwy 115 just south of penrose is closed. you will need to take hwy 50 west towards canon city and then take hwy 67 south into florence. it will add about 15 minutes to the ride. if you need any more info. feel free to post or e-mail me. by the way, i might try to make it to some bishops rides.

Jesters 636 do you mind taking the lead on this one? Seems we will definitely need some route planning to pull this one off without frustrations. Seeing as almost everybody prefers Sunday, lets confirm it for early Sunday (just please god not 6 am like some people) and go from there. It would also be cool to either have a northern group come down here, or meet up with some of them up North. *excited* Hopefully no more rain until the first snow :)

[Sully]

hmm.. Sundays work for me as well... :yes:

[Stuart Little]

Well sulls, I've only ridden in SoCo with you one time and that was on the ol' yamihaha.

[Suki]

hmm.. Sundays work for me as well... :yes:

i thought you were doing the girls ride????? TRAITOR!!!! :lol:

[Sully]

Hey... I'm just keeping my options open.. since there has only been like 1-2 people interested in the girls ride this week. :dunno:.. but uhm.. we can always do this one instead (if it's not at the ass crack of dawn).. :D... And I thought you wanted to break your bike in :eyebrows: what's the deal ???

[jesters636]

Since most are in agreement that the ride will have to start early, we would like to start out fueled up and ready to hit the road by 8:30 Sunday morning at the Black Bear Coffee Shop (6550 South Academy Blvd). In this little shopping center there is a Shell station as well as a Safeway. It is really easy to find, it's right on the corner (NW) of Hwy 115 and South Academy Blvd. I know a few of the group have plans and need to be back in town, so we will try to keep the ride moving. Show up early, with fuel (Puck), and have a nice cup of coffee. The route to Bishops and back has been discussed and planned, but the route can be canged depending on what the rest of the group wants to do. Please post if any questions or concerns. I hope you all show up, pray for sunny skies!!!!

[godspeed409]

supposed to be nice on sunday... looking forward to it..

[dallas]

Is anyone going to have thier Chatterbox or any other form of communication?

I have to get a kitchen pass and change my oil, but it is far enough in advance that I can put myself in as a definate maybe.

Hope to see/meet some of you guys on Sunday.

:lol:What choo tryin to say? Anyhow, Depending on what's up with Gene's funeral, I may not make it now, I would really like to be at his services.

SULLY - did you move to the Springs?

[Sparker]

I know just what hes saying!

[Sully]

No PUCK.. I still live in A-Town... but I like to try different routes on occasion... I'm always in the canyons over here... so it's nice to get down to the Springs and see ya'll once in a while :)


Doubt I'll make this ride tho... meeting at 8:30 am ? hmm... I'd have to leave my place at the very latest 8:25 am... :lol:... j/k.. more like 7:00 !!!!! :shocked:

Yeah, i'm taking the day off work all day sat so I can't afford to just come in when I want Sunday so I guess I'm out too

[Sully]

The Service post has been updated ... BIKES ARE NOW ALLOWED..

[-PUCK-]

In that case, I am riding up. Call me if anyone wants to meet up.

[madkaw77]

would the people going on the Bishops ride be opposed to me inviting a couple of my friends to come along for the ride?

[SS929]

At this point I'm not sure who all is going to be on the ride and who will be attending the service.
I will still be going. I never met Gene and would feel entirely too awkward to be present at such a solemn event. I can’t see a reason why your friends couldn’t come along. Just as long as they abide by the Rules and Signals http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/club/rules.html (http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/../club/rules.html) for the most part.
BTW would you be riding up to meet us at the Black Bear Coffee shop. Or are we meeting you in Florance somewheres?

[madkaw77]

I read all of the rules and that's no problem. We will go to the Springs so we could meet everyone. By the way my name is Jason.

[jesters636]

Invite as many of your friends as you would llike. I like to meet new riders when I can. The services for Gene went very well. See everyone in the morning.

[R1chie]

Can't make it. I rode deckers today with a friend, riding dirt tomorrow. Will try to make it next Sat but Sunday is the Lakewood race, Ricky Carmike (his last race) and Bubba Should be there and friends from out of town are staying. Too many toys, not enough time. Till next time.

[Lee]

I might be able to make it.

Is the plan still to meet at the Black Bear Coffee Shop (6550 South Academy Blvd) at 8:30 a.m.?

Lee

[jesters636]

Some of us are gonna meet at 8:00, BS and have coffee. We will get going around 8:30. Hope you can make it.

[R1chie]

Well plans may have changend so I may see you after all. I may have to leave the group a little early to make the race in the afternoon.

[d3spair]

Some of us are gonna meet at 8:00, BS and have coffee. We will get going around 8:30. Hope you can make it.

I'll meet at 8:00 as well for some breakfast and chat, since I don't know any of you (yet) :)

I can't make it today. My wife wants to ride her bike and she's not yet ready for a group ride.

I'll plan on riding with you guys another weekend.

[Lee]

Can't make it. I rode Deckers today......

Are Highways 67 and/or 126 open yet?

Lee

[godspeed409]

hey yall... well.. for somne reason i thought we were meeting at the black bear diner that is also on south academy (like 950 s. academy blvd) right across from the mall... when it got to 8:30 and no bikes were even there i figured i must be in the wrong spot so i rode up all of academy looking for another black bear coffee shop to no avail....

i rode right by the damn place though, i rode to the end of academy and back. really kinda upset i missed it, i planned on it all weekend... next time for sure i guess. have fun guys.

[The Black Knight]

godspeed409,

that sucks man. I guess we should have been a bit more specific about where the meeting spot was. It was my first time to the coffee shop, but I knew where it was because of the Shell that's close to it. Maybe next time man...

[-PUCK-]

Good ride today. Nice and smart pace. Glad nobody got hurt today, and was good to meet some of the new people.:)

[R1chie]

Are Highways 67 and/or 126 open yet?

Lee

The answer would be no (Unless you are adventurous in regards to risk taking with the law like me). You may have missed this post. http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7352

Is your wife a new rider or ?

[Lee]

Sully,

My wife's not new to motorcycling. She's on her third motorcycle and quite adept when she is rolling. She has put about 10,000 miles on 2 wheels in the last 4 years. But, because she is only 4'10" tall with a 26 inch inseam, we've had to have her bike suspension and seat modified to get her feet to reach the ground. And making sure she can stop in an area where she can get her feet on the ground (fairly level) and that is not slippery (sand, oil, etc.) is a priority. So, I plan our rides pretty carefully. She can't stop just anywhere.

I wouldn't want our limitations to interfere with a club ride.
