Newb ride take 2 Sunday August 5th

[McVaaahhh]

Seems to be some interest in a second newb ride this year, so I'm thinking Sunday August 5. (changed from July 29 to accomodate CSC track day)

Pre-ride speech at 9:50am, leave conoco by 10:00am sharp. That means you need to be gassed up and ready to go by 9:45am. Leaders and sweepers need to be there by 9:30.

I'd like to do a slightly technical route, but at a slow(er) pace.:turtle:
Morrison->Evergreen->Central City Parkway->Peak To Peak->Lyons and then split off wherever you want to go.
Maybe stop for lunch in there somewhere?

Let me know if anybody is interested, and if there's any leaders or sweepers willing to help out.

--Brian

Leaders/Sweepers:
1. McVaaahhh (lead)
2. BlueDog
3. Dana (lead/sweep)
4. Bandido (sweep)
5. Wahh12 (sweep)
6. Bag Man (lead/sweep)
7.
8.

Edit: This WILL BE A SLOW-PACED RIDE. Everyone is welcome (even Shortcake). I will expect the sweepers to be watching those at the back of the pack and giving riding advice, as well as communicating with the group leaders on any problems or issues they are seeing.

[mtnairlover]

I'd love to help out on this, but I'm volunteering at the CSC Track Day down in Pueblo. Sorry.

Stay tuned though, for another Newb Ride announcement soon to take place on the Northside.:)

[konichd]

What time is Laguna on? :dunno:

If I can get back to see that Brian I'm in! :)

[rybo]

What time is Laguna on? :dunno:

No you can't....Team Angry Marmot is representing at the track day on the 29th....

[konichd]

Oh shit, thought it was this Sunday :( DK is out

[Devaclis]

On the 5th, the wife and I can be there for this :)

[McVaaahhh]

Changed the date to August 5 to accomodate the TrackDay.

Scott, can you change the title?

[konichd]

Damn, now DK's back in! :)

[Devaclis]

Back it in man. Back. it. in.

[Wahh12]

I'm in. Should be fun.

[Jose]

ill be there. :)

[BlueDog]

I'll be there and I can sweep or lead, whatever is needed.

[Devaclis]

Imma sweeper dude!

[rybo]

Changed the date to August 5 to accomodate the TrackDay.

Scott, can you change the title?


Changed per your request :D

[Shortcake]

How much of a newbie ride are we talking??? will I be able to keep up?

[Devaclis]

Not on a Kawi

[mtnairlover]

Dernit! Changed the date and I still can't make it! Bummer.:( My daughter turns 16 on the 6th and I'm cooking up something special for the kidlet.:)

Oh well, other days and weekends to come and more chances to ride. Enjoy!

[64BonnieLass]

How much of a newbie ride are we talking??? will I be able to keep up?

I'll ride with ya Jeanna. I'll be one of the NOOBS in the back being swept by the sweepers. :) It'll be a great ride at a nice slow pace.

[Shortcake]

Not on a Kawi
Something tells me its not the Kawi that's slow :)

[Repsol a095]

Don't worry, Jeanna; I heard that Dk has to work on his "shit bombing the clutch" skills. You'll always be faster than him because he'll probably throw Optimus Prime on the back of his bike.

[Wahh12]

Oh, I can also sweep if needed. Don't know the routes well enought to lead.

[bandido]

I can sweep if needed

[Suki]

forgive me for my "noobieness" but how long and far is that route? miles/hours?

[Devaclis]

^^ Psh, like you ride. psh!!

[64BonnieLass]

forgive me for my "noobieness" but how long and far is that route? miles/hours?

Linda and I drove it in the car in about 2 hours - going slow. I didn't check the miles though.

[Sortarican]

Damn Brian, one day you're slamming noobies, next day you're helping them.
I think you're bi-polar dude.
(So you want some of my med's? They really help keep the voices to a whisper.):crazy:

I'm in, if I survive track day that is.

[konichd]

Jeff will not survive :no:

[Suki]

^^ Psh, like you ride. psh!!

wachu talkin bout? i ride the white Texan ATLEAST every day! pffffft! :hump:

[Sortarican]

Jeff will not survive :no:

Ahhhhh....DK......or should I perhaps call you.....
Du Puniet!!!!!!!:scream1:

Besides, you gotta catch me to crash me...punk.
4695

[Sully]

:up:

[Sean]

If you got room for another hack-noobie, I think I can make it.

[Chi10]

Add another. I'm in.:hump:

[Spy007]

Ill try and be there too.... possibly run up front half and sweep the other half.

[Bag Man]

Count me in.

Bag Man (Lead/Sweep)

[onelocked]

New here also! Count me in, what conoco ?

[McVaaahhh]

New here also! Count me in, what conoco ?


Morrison Conoco.

C-470 and Morrison Road.

[Spy007]

Gonna have to bail on this.... ended up getting plans to go to Sturgis (unless i find a job!) lol.

[CBRSue]

Slow-paced ride sounds good... as is a good way to avoid those dreaded speeding tickets! I will try to make it and look forward to seeing some CSC folks again.

[scdsteffes]

I will be there as well... i have a freind that I will bring along also.... it will be my first time for a group ride and will be good to meet other riders.

cheers

[JustSomeDude]

I'll be there... naked.

It's how I roll.

[DeeStylez]

Since I never rode with the group I will be down for this ride since I will be headin out to OK City in the near future. I may also be available if there is a ride Sunday the 29th :up:

[Crisco]

if we end it at lyons we could eat at longmont BWW

from lyons go on Highway 66 and turn right on Hover

the BWW is right next to highway 119, you can go to boulder or I-25

[BlueDog]

Should start making a roll call of people who will be there so we can figure out how many there will be to a group. Maybe a seperate list in the first post?

[600F3]

http://www.cbrforum.com/upfiles/smiley/icon_rock.gif (javascript:void(opener.addSmiley('body1','http://www.cbrforum.com/upfiles/smiley/icon_rock.gif')); self.focus();) I'll be there

[Thadius]

I missed the first so I should see you all there. The bike only has 57 miles on it so a slow paced ride is just what the Dr. ordered!! (Cath, no pics yet but soon!)

[BlackOakTree]

Count me in! I'm content with riding in the middle with no responsibilities, but I'd be willing to rotate in with sweeper duties if required.

[BlueDog]

So, what is going on with this? May have to bail but I haven't figured that out for sure yet.

[McVaaahhh]

It's still on like donkey kong! :hump:

[Jason ON]

Looks like I may be able to come since my plans changed and I'll be in town this weekend. I can sweep if it's needed.

[64BonnieLass]

Yes but can you sweep really really slow people? :)

[Jayock]

Ill hit it up if you have some room :)

If it works out that we have enough sweepers, I may ride at different spots in the group after each rest stop. Follow anyone who wants coaching advise, etc.

[Spy007]

Plans changed for me as well... ill be a "maybe" again... :-)

[Jason ON]

Yes but can you sweep really really slow people? :)


How slow are we talking? My bike can only go so slow.

[McVaaahhh]

Ill hit it up if you have some room :)

If it works out that we have enough sweepers, I may ride at different spots in the group after each rest stop. Follow anyone who wants coaching advise, etc.

That would be a great help, as I'm sure there are several people that would love to have that kind of advice, including myself. :up:

[rforsythe]

Thinking about this one... I'd like to go, though I am oncall for work. Hrm.

IF I can go, I am happy to lead or sweep.

[BlueDog]

Ah screw it, I'll come... I'm down to lead still but I could certainlty use a map just so I'm sure of the route.

[dirkterrell]

Brian, I'll join you guys and help out however needed.

Dirk

[Slo]

I will try and make this one since I haven't been on a group ride in quite some time. Probably a good idea if I sweep as well or remain in the newest group and at the back.....

[Sean]

If anyone is actually keeping track (of the noobes), I regretfully need to withdrawal. :( Free tickets to the Telluride Jazz Festival; couldn't pass it up.

I was really looking forward to meeting some of the unique "characters" that post on this board! Not to mention, I feel like I'm at the point to were I could use a few tips from an experienced rider.

If anyone is north or west of Denver (I'm in Boulder, but flexible) and willing to compromise their personal ride for educational reasons on another day; I'll gladly buy you a beer.

Count me in. Just got to make sure its not too near a race weekend. The 600 is never streetable, and the gixxer is a couple hours to convert back and forth.

[cdrewferd]

Man, I wish I had my bike back together. Guess I'll have to get it going this winter so I can do lots of miles next year.

[nlh8584]

ill try to make it up there

[bodhizafa]

Pretty new to the forum, (have only met one person from the forum) but if this ride goes from Morrison up towards Lyons I would like to join it. I've been riding for a few years now but haven't ridden in many groups so a newbie group might be a good way to start. I have to work at 2pm so I may cut out about half way or so.

Jay

[BuzzinHornets]

Count me in if you dont mind a low post count newb! Been looking for an excuse to come out and meet some CSC people.

[pilot]

Probably a good idea if I sweep as well or remain in the newest group and at the back.....Jay, you can always organize a group ride at IMI. To make it more real we can take a lap and wait for the straglers to catch up. Just think, if somebody goes down, no cops to write a ticket!!!

[Sully]

I'll try to keep up on my Big Wheel !

[konichd]

Too bad this is so late in the morning :(

Maybe I'll catch you guys on my way down.

[puckstr]

Noob who's a NOOB?

What's a sweeper?

I will be there, old-skool stylin

[McVaaahhh]

Too bad this is so late in the morning :(

What do you have that's so important? :slappers:

[konichd]

WSBK is on! :)

[Sully]

uhm.. me :hump:... at 9:00 am.. :p

[konichd]

And breakfast is on! ;)

[McVaaahhh]

WSBK is on! :)

Man, you totally need to get a DVR slacker.

[puckstr]

what about riding both Saturday AND Sunday?

[Κανελλόπουλος]

I wish I could make it but my tires won't last and I don't get my CT2's until the end of the month at the earliest. Looks like the bike will be sitting this month. :cry:

[Bueller]

Get some take offs for $50 a set.
I have a couple of really nice rears for $30 ea.

[Sean]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT! Scratch my last post. I'm back in. Gotta love unreliable people. Oh well, who cares, I get to ride all weekend.

Anyone heading down via 93 on sunday that wants to meet up?

Did I hear someone say Saturday? If it's laid back I'm in. I might hit GG canyon- ptp- estes- lyons in the am.

[thida_r6]

I think I'm in too if there's enough room, I'm a newbie and definetly would appreciate any advice!

[Jayock]

WOnt be able to make it sunday anymore, saturday plans had to be moved to sunday.

Im down to go Saturday, if I can get the bike running right before then. Install a PC3, Ignition Module, and Quickshifter and now its throwing codes, go figure. Gotta get it sorted out.

[ChaiOnKaw]

me and dm_gsxr should be able to make it!

[Devaclis]

Brian, throw me in to lead if needed as well as sweep.

[FortCollins]

I am down to go again. However, my rabbit status has been compromised north of blackhawk. =)

I will be off duty at 0700 so I should be at MoCo no later than 0730ish. I cant stay out and play as long as last time Brian, so I will be splitting off at Boulder Canyon, running through that and back home.

[dirkterrell]

me and dm_gsxr should be able to make it!

Cool! See you guys there.

Dirk

[nlh8584]

is any one heading up from around 470 and quebec or any where near there just lookin for someone to cruse with to morrison

[Jason ON]

I live at Wads and 76 if anyone wants to run down to MoCo (yes, I'm down with the lingo) together Sunday morning.

[nlh8584]

how many people do you guys think will come up for the ride and are we going to have a couple of groups?

[64BonnieLass]

I'm on University and 470 if you want to swing by and pick me up, then head to MoCo together. (gotsta be nice on the way though) :)

[Jayock]

Alright, Back in. Plans for the weekend fell apart all together. That is assuming that the bike runs by Sunday (damn defective Dynojet equipment).

[thida_r6]

anyone in boulder going who knows the directions to MOCO and wants some company? please PM me, thanks!

[Chi10]

Sorry, Gotta bail. My bike died. Anyone got a pickup? Anyone know a good mechanic?

[Bueller]

Sorry, Gotta bail. My bike died. Anyone got a pickup? Anyone know a good mechanic?
What's wrong with it?

[bodhizafa]

So where is this famous Conoco station in Morrison? I've only been living out here for a few months, and I've only been to Morrison once (Redrocks).

[BlueDog]

So where is this famous Conoco station in Morrison? I've only been living out here for a few months, and I've only been to Morrison once (Redrocks).

Just west of C-470 and Morrison road. Get off C-470 heading west on Morrison road and it'll be on your right, very large and hard to miss

[Timmay]

Brian me and the wifey are in coming from parker, NLH we can meet you and Quebec and 470 and than meet Boneless at University to pick him up. Probably should meet up about 845 so that we can meet 64Bonneless and make it up to conoco in time. Message me if this works for ya. I will check back on here.

[Sully]

:lol:.. 64BonneLass is a chick !

[Timmay]

Thats ok. Hey she asked to be picked up. Sorry that I spelled it wrong.

[ZX Rider]

Damn!!!
I wish my bike was fixed.
I wanted to go on this ride.

[BlueDog]

So, any plans for a lunch stop?

[Jayock]

So, bike is back together and working, so im in again. Dynojet PC3 and Quickshifter were good, but the DJ Ignition module was bad. Took it off and all good now. Have to warranty the Ignition module, but at least the bike will ride for tomorrow.

I suggest the pizza place in Estes for lunch. Especially if we are taking peak to peak towards lions. Good place to stop. And they support motorcyclists. Even have some pics of local racers etc up on their walls.

[BlueDog]

Pizza sounds good, assuming we are going all the way to estes? Looks like rain for tomorrow, fun fun.

[Timmay]

I have not checked the weather yet, but if its raining bad are you guys still going?

[Mel]

weather says highs in the 80's, scattered showers, chance 30%

[Timmay]

I just saw that too, they say afternoon storms, should be good to go in the morning.

[onelocked]

I will be heading down from Thornton (104th) if any are interested in meeting up for the trip down ????

[Aracheon]

Late reply, but count me in on this one. See y'all at 9:30.

[pilot]

Sooo, I wonder how the ride is going?

[Slo]

Ride went well for the portion that I was involved, until Nederlands, I broke off and headed to Boulder to fill my belly!!!! No mishaps along the way that I knew of.

[Sully]

Great ride .. all the way into Lyons.. ! :) The others stopped for lunch I believe..

[Timmay]

It was a good ride, glad to see everyone out there.

[dirkterrell]

Nice ride today. Steve, Jeff, Dana, Linda and Sue, I enjoyed riding with you. Sue, make sure you post up that photo of the 3 red/white/blue Hondas. :)

Linda, sorry again about getting turned around in Central City and getting you stuck on that hill. :oops:

Dirk

[Devaclis]

Dirk, Steve, Jeffay, Sue, Dana, and Sweetie all had a good day I think :)

Now, off to the Toad for some relaxation juice!!!

Fantastic time! Super-d-duper!

So when is the next ride?

Dirk Iam already bored. I may go to the Hamburger stand. Unless something else distracts me.

[BuzzinHornets]

Had a great time riding with you all today, can't wait to do it again. Here is the ony pic I was able to get today.

[nlh8584]

sully, dk, fleetwood and anyone else i forgot great ride today ill c u guys up at the next ride

[Sean]

A big thanks to everyone, I had a great time!
As the noobiest rider in my group, I learned a lot and came out a better rider. Thanks to all you experienced riders helping out. It was a nice ride, great lunch, and I think I made it home down LH canyon in record time! Sweet!

[dirkterrell]

So when is the next ride?


I'd be up for an ride one evening this week if that fits your schedule. If I break out The Beast and hook up with you and Sue, that might be too much 80's Honda red, white and blue sexiness for this state to handle. http://www.boulder.swri.edu/%7Eterrell/images/goofy.gif

Dirk

[McVaaahhh]

Great ride everyone, thanks for making it fun. :up:

[scdsteffes]

Had a great time also... if anyonee wants to head out one night this week give me a shout. I am located just off 225 and parker.

cheers

[Aracheon]

I was a little late getting to MoCo, but I appreciate Jay and Brian waiting up for us. Had a great ride, everyone!

[Sortarican]

That was fun, thanks Brian for coordinating.

Dana, Sue, Steve, and Dirk, thanks for letting Linda and I crash your Honda Lovefest.
(I knew I shoulda worn the Repsol gear at least.)

Great job by Linda (our only real noobie).
One or two stopping on slope issues (My fault too, not just Dirk's).
By the time we hit the St. Vrain she was keeping up a spirited pace.

Sue, might need to hit you up for some pics of that beautiful pristine CBR of yours to aid us in assembling that damn track bike.

Hope to ride with you all again.

[flamed1]

Thanks for the ride all. Denise (my wife) and I came over from the flat lands in Central Kansas and just had a blast. Although we are gonna have to raise the bikes back up to stock height(lowered 2.5") it we are gonna ride with Terra and Tom again. The feelers were gettn a little grindage going on. Thanks All for an awsome weekend. We are gonna try and get that way a few more times before the winter hits.

:flame:

[thida_r6]

Thanks to Jayock for meeting at the BoCo (Boulder Conoco) and leading us to MoCo safe and sound. Thanks also to Brian and Jay for leading and sweeping, and the quick response from my group at stopping and helping me out with my power failure on my bike going up that hill. I'm bringing the bike to the shop tomorrow to get it fixed, hope you're right Brian and it's a loose or faulty ignition switch...

[dirkterrell]

Great job by Linda (our only real noobie).
One or two stopping on slope issues (My fault too, not just Dirk's).
By the time we hit the St. Vrain she was keeping up a spirited pace.


Yeah, she was kicking butt there at the end. I took it up half a notch near the end of Highway 7 (fun section there) with Steve and Sue on my tail, figuring we'd wait at the turn but Linda was right there. She rode really well, making nice, smooth inputs to the bike as I swept the early part of the ride.



Hope to ride with you all again.

Anytime. That goes for everyone in our group yesterday.

Dirk

[thida_r6]

Here are some pics of some CSC members and bikes, sorry they're not very good....Had a great time meeting you all, hope to ride with you again soon!

And thanks to Brian for organizing a great gathering!

It was cool hangin' out with other ol' Red, White & Blues... it was fun havin' a Harley along with Jeff sportin' his Sportster ... loved Dana's Bumble Bee bike, it sounded awesome... and Linda was stylin' on her super-shiny Suzuki, and she was catchin' on and catchin' up fast!

Hey guys new to the board and fairly new to the area
Picking up a R1 or R6 within the next few days and would be great to do another one of these rides
