CSC late summer newb ride

[asp_125]

OK.. planning time, routes are being worked on. But mark your calendars.
Sunday August 10th

I think there'll be two rides again, one starting north, one south, meeting up 1/2 way in between. I'll try not to repeat the same route as much as possible.


NoCo start time and place:

Start: meet-up at 8:30 - pre-ride at 8:45, kick-stands up at 9:00
Place: Lyons Diamond Shamrock
4206 UTE HIGHWAY

South start time and place:
Time: 8:30 a.m. - pre-ride at 8:45, kick-stands up at 9:00
Place: Morrison Conoco
C470 & Morrison Rd.

For the folks in Boulder/Thornton, there is a third start point (and earlier start time). See this thread:
http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24425

Leads/sweeps (thx Cathy)


Devaclis = lead (maybe)
Sweetie Pie = lead or sweep (maybe)
REPSOLSASH = sweep
200sr20 = sweep
MetaLord 9 = lead or sweep
Matty = lead or sweep

The ~2hr "official" ride will meet up in Nederland around lunchtime, at which point folks can either go home their own ways, or grab lunch up there. There's a great Himalayan/indian buffet at the Kahtmandu, as well as local pizzas and burgers. Then if anyone wants to, they can join us for an extended ride either north or south later back to the start point.

Just to remind everybody, this isn't going to be a speed ride. We'll be riding "the pace" near the posted limit like last time.

Also like last time, Mcvaaahhh said it so well: "Anybody is welcome to join in on this ride, but I'm going to say this several times between now and then. THIS IS A SLOW-PACED RIDE. If you simply can't handle going at or below the speed limit this ride is NOT for you. There will not be slow/medium/fast groups on this ride. All groups will be at a slow pace. Remember the purpose of the ride.

Gear is required! At the minimum you need helmet, jacket and gloves. (shoes and pants would be a good idea, unless you like flashing it) If you show up with your helmet strapped to the tail of your bike I'm going to ask you to skip this ride. :squid:"
Get to the meeting points with plenty of time to gas up, hit the restroom etc. We won't hold up the group for the few stragglers not ready.

[mtnairlover]

Very cool. People who are experienced are welcome to join us. I've already got one sorta newb offering up to act as sweep.

Let us know what you'd like to do, or if you're just a newb, then just show up.:)

[asp_125]

Question:
One big assed ride? Northies ride? Southies? I don't want to repeat last time's route.

[G35CO]

Cool, will it start from MoCo?

[SaShWhO]

August 10th sounds great.
Plenty of time to gather the forces and plan a great ride.
I will be heading out this sunday morning as well if anyone is interested.
Meet at Conoco in Thornton (120th and 25) at 7am-kickstands up 7:30 sharp.
From there we ride into Boulder and often pick up the republic squids-jk.
Up Boulder canyon into Nederland--down the glorious 7 into Lyons--up 36 into Estes for Lunch and finally down 34 into Loveland and home.
This is a ca. 5hr ride with water/foto breaks and all.

Hope to see some of you then for a taste of things to come.

[Foolds]

You know Sash some of us like our sleep! This kick stands up at 7:30 am stuff just kills me.

[SaShWhO]

I too like my sleep, though, there is alot to be said riding in 70-80 degree weather as opposed to 100.
The later, the hotter.
This way you also have some time left in the day afterwards to do other things if needed.

[Devaclis]

I can lead a group if you like. I also have sweetie Pie who can lead or sweep

[MetaLord 9]

If it's the 10th I can swing it provided I can re-tire the bike by then. Depending on the route I can lead or at least sweep

[mauser72]

Im down to meet some of you folks, sounds like it should be a pretty good ride Im in.

[arcatacat]

No can do Sundays.

:(

[Supa77]

I will try and make it.

[CaptGoodvibes]

I'll be there as the token Harley rider.

[Player 2]

Priorities man... if sleep is more important to you then don't show up :p

I used party til 5am and show up for 7am rides... just have to get your priorities straight (don't get me wrong, I'm rarely out of bed before Noon :lol:)

[rybo]

MRA is racing that weekend, so I'm out...Sorry guys (and gals)

[mtnairlover]

You'll just have to join us on another ride then, Scott.

[asp_125]

I've updated the top post in this thread. http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showpost.php?p=332347&postcount=1

We need some folks willing to ride lead or sweep now. PM me or Cathy.

[G35CO]

[Foolds]

I'm In

[SaShWhO]

I've been appointed to sweep! hoooraaaa!:turtle:

[200sr20]

I'm ok with sweeping, I'm a horrible leader though.
I have issues with leaving people behind when I'm in front.

[nattynoo]

Sounds great, Im in!

[MetaLord 9]

Gonna have new tires woohoo! So depending on the route, I'll be able to lead, otherwise I'll def be able to sweep if you guys need it. Otherwise I'll just bob along in the pack

[Wickid@$$Clown]

Im in too....


WC

[gtn]

I've been appointed to sweep! hoooraaaa!:turtle:

If it'll make you feel better I can ride just ahead of you so that you can critique my riding at the stops. :scramble:

[Clovis]

I'm more then likely in - I haven't ridden in a few weeks now since my big ticket (haven't felt like going out, it bummed me out).

All though MoCO is north for us SOCO folks :)

Perhaps I'll give this one a shot as my maiden voyage with CSC riders ... and then take Aug 10th as round 2!!

Should be fun, probably won't be as big a group as last time (?) - Just in case, I might need a couple more riders willing to lead or sweep for both Cathy or myself.

[mtnairlover]

Here's a list of people for sweeping/leading up to this point:



Devaclis = lead
Sweetie Pie = lead or sweep
REPSOLSASH = sweep
200sr20 = sweep
MetaLord 9 = lead or sweep

If I haven't mentioned your name in this list and you would like to volunteer in any way, please let us know.

Jeff will post these names in the first post as well.

[Matty]

Kathy..... you know i'm down... i can lead with Dana or sweep with Chris... whatever works!

let me know.

[mauser72]

I can sweep if needed, if this is a slow ride I shouldnt be leading (prob. would end up going too fast and not know it) but if you need more people in the back let me know.

[SiouxBe]

I'm in for the Sunday Aug. 10th ride. 1st ride with U peeps...does this mean I'm
gonna be a nOOb?
I would like to check out the MoCo coffee shop sometime.

[SumoWeezle]

Cathy,

count me in. I can sweep or lead, whatever you need. I'll be starting with Sash in Thornton as well.

[mtnairlover]

Cool, I may make a start of route change for you guys, so make sure you watch for changes to the first post for the Northern meet-up spot.

[asp_125]

See first post for a change to the "northern" start location.

[Devaclis]

It is unfortunate but I will not be able to make this ride. Sorry for pulling out but it is not possible at this time. I hope you guys all have a fun, safe ride. Take some pics!!!!

[GrlRdr]

I'm in. I should probably "RSVP" for Brandy, also, since she never posts on here...

[MetaLord 9]

It is unfortunate but I will not be able to make this ride. Sorry for pulling out but it is not possible at this time. I hope you guys all have a fun, safe ride. Take some pics!!!!
Being as her posts tend to be infrequent, will Sweetie Pie be withdrawing from the ride too?

[Devaclis]

I am not sure. This ride is bright and early after a night that we are planning on being out very late for. Leading new riders while very tired and hungover would be pretty irresponsible. If, for some reason, we get home early, we may still do this.

[MetaLord 9]

that's why Imma sweepe!

[Sully]

immamebbee

[MetaLord 9]

^^wow, I didn't know you could ride the speed limit!

[Sully]

:cry: I know.. I'm such a slow poke :turtle: It's really hard for me to keep up, but I'll do my bestest!!

[asp_125]

OK so the route is almost finalized. For the MoCo group, there will be a short section of multi lane 55mph, any n00bs not comfy with that?

[Horsman]

Wooo Hooo - time to lead again with the Vespa!!!! I'm In!!!

If you want to lead with the Vespa that's cool.

It looks like there'll be a group from north-central meeting Cathy in Lyons, awesome! I've updated the first post.

[Wahh12]

I'm in. Been out of town a lot this season, but I'm ready to get back to it. I can sweep if needed.

[SiouxBe]

Hi another Boulder nOOb here that will be meeting y'all
@ the Diamond Shamrock in Lyons Sunday the 10th.
This should be fun meeting and ridin' w/ everyone.

[prakarp]

MRA is racing that weekend, so I'm out...Sorry guys (and gals)

Well at least you're doing your speed riding in the safety of a closed course! :)

[YZFRydn]

I can play Guinea Pig out front. I might be staying the night in Glenwood Springs so we'll see if I can roll out with the NorCo people.

[highpsi03]

I'll be there.. Hopefully some of the knoobs will get rid of their chicken strips ;)

Not that kind of ride. It's slow, speed limit to 5/10 over. More to get a little more used to canyon riding.

I may be in, doesn't look like I'll be able to sneak away for the whole weekend to Pueblo. If so I can lead/sweep.

There's really no point having anyone behind me, unless they want to be really bored.

I make a great caboose. When I pull in, it's a great indication that no one is back on the road behind me.

[MetaLord 9]

We'll work out the sweeps & leads when we start up. There will probably be a fast group, a medium group (maybe faster folks new to colorado & the CSC), and then a slow group of folks newer to canyons and newer to riding (probably a year or less). If you wanna go fast there's a group for you, if you wanna kill some chx strips there's probby a group for you. The focus, tho, will be on the newer folks & getting them used canyons and group riding. So if you want to go fast, please do not volunteer to ride sweep as you'll only get frustrated.

Please read the first post in this thread, Cathy and I will be focusing the ride on the newer folks. If you want to ride faster go on ahead in your own group, and meet up with us in Nederland. The n00b ride will be slow. kthxbye

Hey Jeff. My new place is equally far from both starting points. I think I may just head straight to Nederland--spiritedly--via CC or GG and do a post n00b ride with you after we have some Kathmandu lunch buffet.

[mtnairlover]

Counting down to the newb ride and thought I'd share something with everyone...actually, what I found isn't hard to find at all, since it's a link on this website. But, unless you are looking, you'd never know it was there.

Wanna know some things before joining us on the newb ride, or just want a quick refresher...or, maybe you haven't read "The Pace" or it's been a long time since you have read it? Either way, click the link (http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/club/rules.html) and check out the rules and then read "The Pace" if you are curious.

We'll cover all this stuff before we ride on Sunday, but it's a good heads-up.

See ya.:)

kinda the point I was making...

[asp_125]

:bananna::multi: SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!! I'll be at MoCo - Look for me with the flat black Duc. There's 3 different start points so I hope at least a couple of you lead/sweep volunteers will be at MoCo.

I think everyone who volunteered have been PM'd the route. Lemme know if you did not get the link. (subject to minor last minute revisions on the day of)

Sounds like a big group heading out of Lyons. Let'see if the MoCo group can match.

-Jeff

[MetaLord 9]

I'll be at Moco

[SumoWeezle]

One thing that I would like to point out to those newer folks that want to be a sweep because they do not want to hold up the group..

the sweep function of a group ride is to watch all those in front and to make sure that if something does happen to help that person out. It is definately not the position you want to be in if you are new to group riding. Ideally when there are large group rides, the sweeps and leads are in communication with two way radios so that they can keep each other informed.

So with that being said, like Cathy and Jeff are pointing out, the entire reason for this ride is to get newer folks used to riding in a group. Dont worry about going too slow or holding us up. We are there to help you guys out! :)

There will STILL be groups based on experience. This happens at every ride. if you do not break them down and organize correctly the ride will be dangerous/boring/no fun/pointless (you choose 1 or 4 of these)

No worries, I think we have enough volunteers to ensure a fun time for all.

[usmcab35]

it will be a good time for sure... im sure that us conoco guys will know a little bit about how each rides by the time we get to the diamond shamrock. either way im sure there will be some stops here and there, so you can adjust then if needed. we dont need any crazies doing a pass to faceplant... see ya all there....

The butt crack of dawn? Well... let's see... it seems that sunrise tomorrow is 6:07. We're meeting at 7:00 and kickstands up at 7:30. I think that as long as you're prepared tonight you should be able to avoid the butt crack by 10 minutes or so. :up:

Now, before you ask, yes I do remember what it's like to have a kid that age, and I realize that the information above is not the least bit helpful. Eh... it's what I do. :D

I will do my best to strap his sleeping ass to my bike and drag him along. Time to go put the pegs and seat back on my bike. With any luck I will see you clowns tomorrow!

Sorry...not gonna be able to make it anymore. :( Have fun and be safe!

[highpsi03]

I'm still debating on wether it's worth waking up at 7am to ride the speed limit through the canyon's.

[CaptGoodvibes]

I can't decide whether or not to join in or head up GG or CC and meet up with a few folks at Kathmandu buffet for lunch...

My son wouldn't get up in time. You guys have fun out there. Stay dry the weather forecast says it's supposed be a 60% chance of rain today.

I can't speak for anyone else, but those of us that came back down Coal Creek Canyon (HWY-72) did get moist.

That sweatshirt that I picked up in Estes Park needed a wash anyway. :rolleyes:

Speaking of sweatshirts, there were three of us that purchased matching sweatshirts in Estes Park. Nothing :slappers: we were just freezeing our nethers off and the shop was having a sale.

Who, that wasn't on the ride, can guess the other two riders?

[chad23]

Had fun all but tire trouble, When I got to boulder I had 10psi in the front. hardest ride ever down that canyon, literally had to fight her all the way down. Guess I'll be fixing that little problem tomorrow. Nice meeting all ya'll

missed the rain all the way home

Glad I wasn't able to make it. Little kids don't much appreciate riding in the rain. My little man is a fair weather rider only. :)

Hey, it was great meeting some new people. Lots o'fun leading you all and lots....er, sorta fun riding home....before the rain of course.

One bit o'bad news...we saw what I think was an R6 (blue) being hoisted out of the creek on hwy7 while it was still raining buckets. No ambulance if there had been one. There were I think, 2 fire emergency trucks and 2 police cars. The tow truck was backed up to the edge of the road, with the bike on the hoist. Sad news for whomever it was.

Anyhoo, here's more pix...

Stop at the Estes sign...

Too bad my camera went into wierd video mode for the group shot, so all I got were a few fuzzy frames of the group. Someone else please post the big group shot?

Nice ride, a few of us got to open up the wick in Coal Creek for a few corners. After lunch I took off north towards 7 and hit the nice shower near the top and followed it down 1/2 way to Lyons. One stretch I saw emergency vehicles stopped and personnel looking over the side. It was raining heavily. Cath went by a bit later and saw an R6 being pulled out of the ravine. Glad none of us bit it in the rain.

Great pics, great ride. I had an awesome time and met some cool people. Looking forward to the next one!

[Wickid@$$Clown]

I had a great time meeting people and riding with them. I hope who ever's the owner of that R6 is ok.

It looks like a great time was had, wish I was there.

But at least my sons little league team won our double header 21-1 and 19-4! :rock:

It was worth missing the ride this time.
