DATE CHANGE - THE NOOB RIDE!!! - Sunday May 17

[McVaaahhh]

*****POSTPONED TO MAY 17*****

It's time for the annual noob ride.

For those that don't know, there's a couple of reasons we put this ride on every year:

1) Introduce new members of the club to old members of the club.
2) Introduce anybody to group riding
3) Give people that are new to riding the opportunity to ride at their own level and not feel pressured to "keep up". At the same time these newer riders will hopefully learn a little something from the more experienced riders.


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. This includes passengers as well. 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:

FOR THE LADIES
Sully is going to lead a ladies only group ( aka the boob ride :boobies: ) So if you're a bit nervous about being mixed in with all the crazy guys, hit up Sully. Same time, same place.
***By no means does this mean you have to, or should ride in Sully's group if you're of the fairer gender. It's only an option.


Details:

Sunday May 17
Time: Pre-ride at 9:45, leaving at 10:00
You need to be ready to go before 9:45. That means gassed up and ready to roll. First group will roll out at 10:00am and no we're not waiting for you because you're nursing a hangover or got up late or forgot gas or whatever.

Start: Morrison Conoco (Northwest Corner of C-470 and Morrison Road)
16283 Morrison Rd, Morrison, CO
Route: Will be shared with everyone during the pre-ride.
End: The ride will end at Gibby's in Aurora for the MotoGP event put on by youngblood. More info on that can be found here: http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29966

Please post up if you plan on attending.

I look forward to seeing you all at this! :up:


We'll need several leaders and sweepers as we tend to get over 50 bikes involved in this ride and need to split into groups of about 8. If you can lead or sweep please post up and PM me.

Expectations for leads:
As a lead it is your job to keep the pace for your entire group. For this ride that will be at the speed limit, not over.
Passing - Don't plan on any passing for this ride, certainly not any double-yellow passes. On the noob ride each group of 8 or so bikes should remain together.
Hand signals - Leaders should know basic hand signals for pointing out hazards on the roads as well as directional signals


Expectations for sweeps:
Communicate with the leader about any problems you see with the group. No jackassing about on this ride, if you see somebody being a jackass then you and your lead should talk to them and let them know their behavior is inappropriate. Feel free to get me or others involved if necessary.
Keep an eye on the true noobs (i.e. new to motorcycles) and give them advice about their riding.
You will be one of the first people to a downed rider, or a rider with a mechanical problem. You need to know how to handle that.


Leads/Sweeps:
Metalord
Matty
Carrie
Jason
Raparee

Sweeps Only:
Bandido
Greg

It would also help if you've got your license with proper endorsement and your insurance up to date too.

I'm in Brian. I can sweep for sure, lead if neccessary

[mtnairlover]

For those in the Greeley, Loveland, FoCo areas, we'll get something going in a little bit.

In the past, us Northern peeps have met up in a different spot instead of MoCo. For those of us up in FoCo and Loveland, that's a 65-mile ride just to get there going the superslab way...so, we've done our own n00b ride and met up with the southern folks along the way.

If you all are game, then we'll organize the ride for the Northern crew and meet up at Gibby's with everyone else, when we've done our own ride. No one is obligated to meet up with the Northern crew, though.

I'm gonna post up more specifics in the Northern regional forum a little later, but just thought I'd answer a question or two.

Either way, this is a good time.:)

[rybo]

Hey all,

I did some "pruning" in here to make the noob ride the highlight of this thread.

For years someone has stepped up and taken ownership of the noob ride and I personally thank Brian for taking it on the last couple of years. That being said, lets not clutter up this thread with random stuff. For that I've created a new thread that should be pretty easy to find.

Thanks

[Sortarican]

For the few that may not have read this before, here's a link to "The Pace".
An article written years ago regarding group ride technique and etiquette:
http://www.canyonchasers.net/reference/the_pace.php
(Sorry if it's already on one of the related threads.)

Also,
Might work to have a Northern/Metro/Southern groups leave from local meeting points and all meet up somewhere west of metro.
Maybe Blackhawk or Deckers.
Might be hard to get a decent loop for the metros and still meet up west of town, but just an idea.

Sounds like you'll have plenty of leads/sweeps, but if you come up short let me know Brian.
Else I'll probably just meet you guys at the mid break area or Gibby's after.

[MetaLord 9]

A REMINDER:


For those that don't know, there's a couple of reasons we put this ride on every year:

1) Introduce new members of the club to old members of the club.
2) Introduce anybody to group riding
3) Give people that are new to riding the opportunity to ride at their own level and not feel pressured to "keep up". At the same time these newer riders will hopefully learn a little something from the more experienced riders.

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.

As Matty said previously, this ride is for those who are n00bs to riding in general, those who are new to riding in the canyons, and those who are n00bs to the board and the group. That said, all are welcome to join, but if you're new to the group then leading or sweeping this particular ride is probably something that you will want to think about next year after we've all had a few more great times together.

[McVaaahhh]

We may have to reschedule this ride due to weather. Right now the forecast for Sunday is for 63 with possible showers. If this changes to the south me may reshedule for two weeks later (5/17). I will make a decision on Friday if the forecast gets much worse, but I'm hopeful that it improves. :up:

Safety is the #1 priority for this ride, and I don't feel that a cold, rainy day with potentially a lot of sand on the roads is appropriate conditions for the Noob ride.

Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Thanks,
Brian

[Mizzybeff]

u know if this changes to the 17th i might actually be able to go. :shocked:

[Luv2ride]

New to the club, def in weather permitting

[iLiam]

Hey guys, new to the club. Excited to meet all of you, I'm down weather permitting. Here's hoping.

[McVaaahhh]

Thanks for the report Matty. I rode it last week and it was fairly clean, except for the section that you mentioned. I think as of right now it's good to go for the noob ride, but we'll see what the weather does. :cheers:

[64BonnieLass]

Its going to be a little chilly in the canyons...Not only req'd items...but better to layer and unlayer than freeze your ass off. A backlava possibly, glove liners, an Extra layers under your jacket. At 10ish by no means is it going to be high 60's. Especially up there. Sully, TImmay, and I rode to Evergreen the other day and no lie was a little chill.

I'm excited to meet the noobs..and hope you all have a great time!

Absolutely!! Dress appropriately for sure. Remember guys, it's only April/May. At altitude it gets mighty chilly and quite quickly, especially should the weather change mid ride. cover your ass. Better to shed layers then to need what you don't have. Be thoughtful of Colorado weather.

[McVaaahhh]

***Date has now changed to Sunday May 17. Two weeks later.



I have made this decision for safety reasons only.

I want the NOOBs to have as enjoyable experience as possible and I feel as though adverse weather and road conditions will take away from that.

I apologize to those that may not be able to make the NOOB ride now that it has been rescheduled, however I believe that my decision is in the best interest of the group as a whole. I feel personally responsible for this ride and its participants and want to minimize the risk as much as possible.


Thanks,
Brian

Prolly a good call....sorry I'm gonna miss the 17th

[Mizzybeff]

[SumoWeezle]

I'm still in for the 17th. Actually works out better for me. As always i can lead / sweep if needed.

[Reyven]

Still in for 2 of us on the 17th :)

[Horsman]

Atleast it gives me time to put my bike back together... Round peg goes into square hole... :)

[rybo]

I did some pruning again to keep this on topic.

Since the date has changed I figured most of the meet ups and such would change as well. This thread should all be related to the 17th now.

Thanks

Horsman dude....I'm entirely unsure of what to think about your new avatar and line! lol

Anyhoo... I'll be home for the new ride date - so I'm there! YAY!!

[sprtbkbabe]

Damn, no can do the 17th... got a bicycle ride in Loveland.

I'll let Sul bring my n00b along on this one. :up:

[KawikaO.]

I just wanted to say thanks for the help guys. I guess i'll just have to see if i'm up for that long of a ride. hopefully i am; it'd be great to meet some of you guys instead of riding solo all the time.

also, sully, i'm a guy. i get that a lot cause of my name.

[SaShWhO]

FYI

The 17th also marks the "Estes Park ride" sponsored by our friends @Gran Prix Motorsports.
so long the weather does not interject yet again there ought to be a ton o bikes on the road that day.
Sure am bummed that I'll be missing all the fun:cry:

[Jason ON]

good for you... now will you be riding for this event????

You're an on R6, so I figured I'd just jog along beside you. :D

[McVaaahhh]

As some people drop out or can now make it, I need to re-ask for volunteers for group leads and sweeps.

Please see the first post for expectations of leads and sweeps.

Also, you can't be new to riding, or to the board. :up:

Thanks,
Brian

[Zach929rr]

Brian, still willing to lead for ya if you would like.

Zach

[Ceez]

I would like to stay in the middle....I am the type that likes to be held and feel safe!!:slappers:

[Zach929rr]

Imma make you the meat, boy.

[Ceez]

Just as long as the balls dont touch...

[XJ600s]

Can I be the bacon! I promise I don't have the pigfloo!!! :yumyum:

I should be able to make it barring any major complications.

[Matty]

Brian i should still be there.

[bandido]

[BondiBeach]

Lead or Sweep which ever you need me.

Nothing against the n00bs, but you guys need to learn how to read.


Then again since the date changed a lot of people as Brian mentioned might be out. Therefore the possiblity of losing Leads/Sweeps. Awh... forget it, Brian will figure it out.

[Zach929rr]

Bleargghhh

[Jason ON]

Hey Brian,

I can lead or sweep, however I prefer to sweep.

[GixxerCarrie]

I'm still in also.

[MetaLord 9]

I'm still down like a clown Charlie Brown for whatever you had me lead/sweep/look pretty/whatev.

[Violator]

[asp_125]

So is the route unchanged or are there plans to meet up with us Northies?

[Bruizza]

Count me in. I'm not new to riding, but I'm new to the board. Sounds like a good way to meet some new peeps.

Also, if anyone from south of the Denver area wants to meet up and group ride up, let me know.

How new is new to riding?

[Aphrodite]

Still in.

[MetaLord 9]

How new is new to riding?
I'd put it at less than a year on the bike and less than 5k miles on it. But I still wouldn't want to follow a lead or be swept by someone at 1 year & 1 day, or 5,0001 miles tho...

[Slo]

This is Brians ride he is putting together, however, if you haven't lead or swept a "significant" ride, I wouldn't volunteer for this one. Leading or sweeping a ride with a couple buddy's doesn't really count either.

[Speedwagon]

I should be in on this.

[1.3V8KILLER]

im in. the 400 is running pretty good, should be fun.

[Nick_Ninja]

Might miss this one. Need to fly to NYC and rescue a family member and bring her back to CO. If yo see me then it is obviously a GO. Who the fuck knows???

Hi, I joined this forum about a year ago. I moved to Colorado in September of last year. I want to ride with the group on Sunday. I am looking forward to meeting some of the local bikers. I live in Thornton, so I was wondering if any of the members are meeting around this area before the meet-up.

Great ride, thank you to all the people that organize it

[Tipys]

^^^I was talking about seeing you in the pics that you posted. I thought you took those pictures and there was no way you could unless your a witch.


And we only stopped by some of the group stayed and rode with you all. We on the other hand headed north to meet the northies and have some above the speed limit fun.

[Slo]

Good short ride, glad to only hear of 1 slight mishap...

Maybe next time a wee bit longer route haha.

[CBRSue]

What a great turnout! It was good to see the ol' gang and to see lots of new faces, too! :)

[Slo]

Sue congrats on the bike, definitely one of my favorite graphics on any bike!!!!

[Horsman]

Great time - fun ride - wish it was longer.
Chris is right - come to bike night... 90 names on a Sunday morning is tough...
Who was the only Mishap???

[MetaLord 9]

Horsman, edit your post man...

[Horsman]

Horsman, edit your post man...
Edited??? Did the Mishap happen during/after Alibis???

Jess tipped over at 0mph

(but you didn't hear it from me)

[MetaLord 9]

dude. seriously?

[Airreed]

Good Noob ride!
Got to meet alot of new faces due to not riding last year (Iraq).
I've done a couple of these rides and this was by far the largest ride to date.
Good to see the Colorado Springs Crew come up too!

Bottom Line: No tickets! and no crashes (dropping your bike doesnt count) and no one got lost!

Albertsons = Staples

[Horsman]

waaa? the mac and cheese was decent

Poor Christina waited for like an hour... She was starving...

[MetaLord 9]

SAFEWAY = Staples
fixed. :lol:

[CBRSue]

We went the wrong way to the right place with the wrong name... but what fun! :)

[Sleev]

Y, service at that place was pretty rough



someday I will find that elusive Albertsons in Conifer...

[Slo]

Yeah last time I was there, the staffing sucked b*lls. Drink took forever, let alone the food.

[Horsman]

I don't think they were ready for all of us.

[Jason ON]

Good ride guys. Granted, there were some logistical issues which we were able to over come, but we finished with all the bikes we started with and I think we even gained one.

Short Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJrCBvZ7kbU) <== right around 6:45 is when we picked up the extra rider, he passes us going the opposite direction, turns around and starts following. I can't remember his name, but he rode to Staples (Safeway) with us.

Post Ride Review: what have we learned?

1. Safeway = Staples in McVaaaah-land.
2. You don't need to be moving to drop your bike. aka: a bike can go down at 0mph.
3. Gibby's can't handle CSC (not really n00b ride related, but pertinent none-the-less)

[rrjockey]

^^^ me and my bike in the same picture. Shoulda got my good side.

I have a couple of pictures of your good side. She was riding a red ninja. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you. They were taking while riding. Nice you have meet you and your good side this weekend. RR'ing

[MetaLord 9]

How many red ninjas were there??

[Horsman]

How many red ninjas were there??
he got a good picture of you on your good side Chris... wink wink... PM him PM him!!!! LOL....
OMG - I am laughing too hard - I am going to get fired... LOL....

[Devaclis]

1 is too many

[MetaLord 9]

he got a good picture of you on your good side Chris... wink wink...
I don't remember swallowing a camera. :dunno:

[MetaLord 9]

1 is too many
It's also the lonliest number. Is that why you and your lonely DRZ left the party? :(

[Horsman]

It's also the lonliest number. Good Song, Three Dog Night!!! Damn Skippy, you weren't even born when that song came out...

[Jason ON]

I had the only SV1k. Chris, sometimes it's cool to be different. Except for Dana.

[Devaclis]

I left because I knew what kind of a cluster the ride was going to be. I hate being right.

I had a fun ride tho. The leader was an asshole, the sweeper was trying to kill me. I was the only one who enjoyed the route we picked.

[Nick_Ninja]

The route to Alibi's.

[Horsman]

The route to Alibi's.

I have learned my lesson from last night... I am never leaving Alibis... evar:drink:
(I am closing that place down in the future)!!!!
Just keep pouring the Fireballs....

[Jason ON]

What happened at Alibis? Free tab for everyone under 5 feet?

[Horsman]

Damn, No, they had a great time after I left... I went home too earlier. No Free Tabs, Chris still had to pay for his beer.

So, when will be the next N0x0b ride?

[Jason ON]

Damn, No, they had a great time after I left... I went home too earlier. No Free Tabs, Chris still had to pay for his beer.

Well, you all went out and had a good time after I left. I was too tired.
