Season Opener / Newb Ride.

[DemonRider]

I am in no way good at starting nor planning these kinds of things however we seem to look over this opportunity over and over again so anyone who wants to take over at anytime speak up please.

Date:
May 17, 2014 @ 9am, KSU 9:30

Meet Location:
Moco (Morrison Conoco) 16283 Morrison Rd, Morrison, CO 80465

http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?38272-Ride-Meet-Locations

I'll stick to the norm- (http://g.co/maps/ywwqn ) at 9am with groups of riders according to their various skill levels riding together. We meet somewhere for lunch and people can either choose to go home at that point or go for an additional ride with a group or on their own.

This is an official CSC ride so gear will be mandatory! We will need to adhere to ALL rules of the road and The Rules Of The CSC!

Proper gear includes:
1) A Helmet
2) A Jacket
3) Full length pants
4) Gloves
5) Boots/Shoes that cover your ankles

Please be Familiar with the below link.

http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/club/rules.html

If you want to be a leader or sweep post up, yes, experienced riders will need to ride with the slower or newer riders. And please be certain you can show up :-). I work better as a sweeper so I'll be taking the tail end of the slower/ newb group.


All groups will need to take the same route so we know where to look should someone not finish the ride.

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Preferably constructive?


Newb / Slower Group:
1) Lead - bornwildnfree
2) Sweep - demonrider

Backup Sweep (if two groups are needed):
DiddysR6

Moderate / Intermediate Group:
1) Lead - Heater (????)
2) Sweep - Generic

[Drama2]

I am in....

[milehizx6r]

Absolutely, I'm in as well..:devious:

[bornwildnfree]

Yep, in! Can lead if you want or sweep.

[mdub]

Not in....

[JimDog]

I'm in!

Thanks for putting this together!

[VryfastRR]

Not in...... wish it was on a Sunday. :(

[DiddysR6]

I'm in, can also act as leader/sweeper for the newbs if needed. I had my right ACL replaced in November, so its not 100% yet. have been out a few times, but balance/ leaning on the right hurts a bit. + i'll be on a 09 ninja 650R.. not exactly the fastest bike out there haha

[madvlad]

Would love to join but already asked for Saturday the 10th off since it's the opening of the MRA season and I'll be doing super street most likely. If I ask for two Saturdays in a row my boss would have a heart attack :lol:... have fun ladies and gents, always remember to ride your own ride.

[DemonRider]

Please also post up if you wanna head North / South. I liked the Northerly route but I know the Southerly folks need some attention ;-) ..... I will then work with some folks on a good route.

I like Sundays also but Tradition has me on this one as most folks work Monday-Friday and will need a day to recover!!! It's also almost 30 Days notice so I got a Vacation Day coming to me so I can enjoy some Riding with all my favorite CSC folks :-) ..

[smorrison20]

I'm in. I'm a new rider on a fairly slow bike (CBR250) but I can't want to get out with you all.

[smorrison20]

Also I noticed that this is same day/time as the Fay Myers open house with food and stunt riders so people that can't go to the ride might be able to go to that.

[moep]

My son might be interested. He is brand new at riding. He should have his license the week before this. I am not sure if he is ready for this.

As far as me, count me in.

[JimDog]

I'm in. I'm a new rider on a fairly slow bike (CBR250) but I can't want to get out with you all.

Of course we all know that size doesn't matter :lol: but I'm glad to see I won't be the smallest bike out there anymore...we can bring up the rear together :up:

[Nolan]

I was absolutely the slowest rider a couple years ago with Demon sweeping. Show up, be safe, listen, and don't try to keep up. Someone will wait for you or be right behind.

[smorrison20]

Good to see there will be someone that can sympathize with my small bike Jim. Thanks Nolan good to know there will be people in the back with me. LOL

[Repsol a095]

Hey smorrison, where did you get your CBR from?

[smorrison20]

Fay Myers down in Centennial.

[Nolan]

Your bike doesn't need to be big to be fast.

[smorrison20]

Thats a good one. This one was pretty good to. Got passed by some big bikes but looked like a fun ride none the less.

[Jrok77]

Is the ride open to cruisers also or just sportbikes?

[Generic]

I'm in and can sweep the intermediate group, I can lead also but much prefer to sweep.

Also, anyone want to meet at the Golden Starbucks at 8:15?

[JimDog]

I'm a maybe for the Starbucks, I'll let you know as the date gets closer.

[troydba]

I am taking a Total Control ARC I class that day or I would be there...

[DemonRider]

This Ride is Open to anyone with two or three wheels with Valid Registration (yup, it has to be said) ;-) Please also keep in mind the Official CSC Rules for this Ride:

http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/club/rules.html

[Bueller]

with Valid Colorado Registration (yup, it has to be said)

No bikes registered out of state?

[DemonRider]

Fixed :spit: My bad LOL......

[Matty]

Not sure what I have going on that Saturday yet.. If I'm free, I can lead/sweep the faster group. Ramon, I'll let ya know!

[Sully]

No bikes registered out of state?

And maybe a valid M endorsement or permit? :bigeyes:

[JimDog]

And maybe a valid M endorsement or permit? :bigeyes:

Now you guys are starting to Nit Pick. :)

[Sully]

We had some idiot with no plates (and probably no M endorsement) run from the LEO a few years back. Not safe for those in his group OR on the ride. Ridiculous!

Oh! I thought you guys were just being funny. Yeah, that's not cool.

On a different note: Jrok77, do you know for sure if you'll be bringing the cruiser? Colleague of mine just got his first bike, a cruiser. I know he wouldn't want to join us if we were nothing but sport bikes, but if knows another cruiser will be there, he might.

[daemon]

I'm a possible

[CaptGoodvibes]

Is the ride open to cruisers also or just sportbikes?

I rode a Harley for a newb ride several years ago. No one said anything shitty to me all day. But I was slower ;)

[Heater]

I should be good to go....not sure which group I'm in though Ramon LOL. I'm happy to sweep if needed.

[UHATEIT]

Thanks for planning this so far in advance. Man the weather is so nice now i can believe the beginning ofseason ride wasn't already going on sooner. Seems like no one posts rides anymore. That or there are just private rides. Im definitely done to go on this ride if nothing comes up before then

[Shawnzy]

Already have plans otherwise I'd be in. Have fun.

[madvlad]

I'll ask my friend to see if I can take his R1. My last day of work is the 16th at my current job so a canyon ride would be great to clear my head.

[DemonRider]

How does Palmer Lake sound to everyone?

[mdub]

That would be perfect. You will be on same pace with the cruisers.

[JimDog]

I'm game for whichever route...I get 70 mpg, so bring it on :lol:

Question: When a route is decided on, will you post directions on here before the 17th (A link to Google Maps perhaps)? I know we'll have sweepers, but it would be great to look / study the route in advance (at least I'd like too, since I'm new and not really familiar with where everyone rides). Thanks!

[Drama2]

Sounds good...

[Ph03niX]

I'm in as long as it's not that far south like Palmer lake.. That would be like an hour and a half ride back home. My butt would be non existent by then :(.

What about a loop of some kind?

[DemonRider]

Yes we will post up the route and meet points. Just waiting to see if there are any other preferences as to route. So far the plan is Palmer lake Via 105 we just gotta keep it NewB Friendly for now even if everyone is experienced it's just a rub off the cob webs type ride and to get out and really meet new people. I know a lot of "Private" rides go on. So this will give people an opportunity to meet people they wanna ride with new or old :-)

I've been working a lot of Overtime and am continuing the 26 day straight through that weekend so if anyone can help with printing out a route that would really be helpful. I will assume Palmer Lake is good if no other suggestions by Friday Night :-)

I'm confused, Palmer Lake via 105 is only an hour and a pretty straight shot. Could we look at something a little longer and more involved? Even a quick run to Deckers would be good.

If this is the plan because it's the newb/first ride that's cool. I'll probably make a run around Woodland Park-Deckers-Pinecliff and circle back after the official ride for those interested.

[One-ops]

Im a maybe if I have some street stuff back on my bike

[Sully]

I think two years back the n00b ride went to Deckers. All in all it was a good ride :lol:

[DemonRider]

Was looking for something more involved but yes this was kinda the thought for NewB type but then as you pointed out, after the Official ride people can do what's comfortable for them but people that are new may wanna go back the same way. Myself and probably Bornwildnfree will go up with those folks unless nobody is truly a NewB and wanna take some Twisties but we will need to play that by ear .....As always; plans can change but this is intended for a NewB situation.

If we all wanna take Deckers, I'm okay with that . I'm also open for any plan as long as we keep NewB in mind :-)

[DrewBentley]

I'm a new member, and I am in.

[Drama2]

Just my opinion...I agree with you. I think everyone is so eager for planned rides to be posted that people have forgotten what this ride is about. It is for the newbies, I myself am bringing a newer rider, he has been riding for years, but not a street bike and never with a group. This ride being a newbie ride is and will teach him about proper riding with groups and canyon riding.. Maybe not a actually lesson but he will take away from it and be ready to go on more challenging rides. We can then all take off different rides after lunch. Lets teach the newbies to this CSC the proper before they go on more advanced rides and not come out so good.

[Dasaxman6]

I might be in on this...always nice to meet fellow CSC'ers. since the first half is very newb friendly and being in the area, for those looking for more twisties on the way home hwy 24 isn't that much further leading to Woodland Park, Deckers and back to MOCO. That would probably be my way of going home!

[Ph03niX]

More north more north! I have a buddy who wants to ride from foco..

[DemonRider]

Okay so Palmer Lake Via this route https://maps.google.com/maps?t=m&ll=39.3878798,-105.2953441&z=10&geocode=Fd8QXQIdROm6-SnDT0W9F3hrhzFoElgtTVUA7w;FR3VWQIdake--SmZ5FzVRZxshzE4NkugG1YuoQ;FWYRWAIdpkm--Sk_IIIW26FshzElyVVUEc8q8Q;FSb1VAIdLBe_-SnpzUpEz65shzEtSYCuicRecw&saddr=Morrison,+CO&via=1,2&daddr=39.4416929,-104.9703901+to:39.3260541,-104.9698185+to:Palmer+Lake,+CO&dirflg=d&output=classic&dg=ntvb

Lunch/Brunch @ O'Malley's Steak Pub
Return trip can be 1) Same as we came down or
2) Venture another route (Please let us know)

I tried to add O'Malley's to the map with no success so : ( if we wanna change the Lunch/Brunch location let me know)

I know this is not the most ideal ride to get Twisties however it is a ride to meet (hopefully) New Riders and New Forum Members.

[Ph03niX]

I know this is not the most ideal ride to get Twenties however it is a rude to meet (hopefully) New Riders and New Forum Members.
Wait what? lol

[DemonRider]

Damn Auto Correct! !!! Sorry about that LOL; ;; It has been Fixed

[~Barn~]

I can't promise that I'll fit all of the requirements, but I'll probably be there. Please nobody wreck - coming, going, or during. :D

[madvlad]

About time you got out to stretch some legs on those things barn lol

[UHATEIT]

I'm in for sure, I am glad someone finally organized a ride, seems like it's only private rides going on nowadays. Afterwards there is the Fay Myers open house with food. I've got a death metal concert to go to that night so this ride should be done and back with enough time to get ready! Anyone else like death metal (off topic) but my concert buddy bailed on me for this one so I was wondering if anyone else likes that type of music by chance.

[mdub]

Death Metal??!?! Wow???

[UHATEIT]

Death Metal??!?! Wow???
yeah I thread jacked trying to get a whole day planned in (noob ride, fay myers open house, death metal show). But I just started my own thread in the non-bike discussion section. I had been curious if anyone riding Saturday was also going to the Devildriver show at the Summit that night.

[~Barn~]

Sober up Mitch. :lol:

[Half LLive]

Darn, I wont be able to make this.

[DemonRider]

Just checking in; I'm still planning on being there; I've been putting in some extra hours at work. The more the merrier, any volunteers in "Leading" the intermediate / first group? Looks like Newb group is covered, otherwise it will depend on how many show up. Hopefully this is the start for future Planners. But I need at least one more Lead and we will be golden. I did remove the "Advanced" group only due to lack of volunteers. However this can changed as we get a better idea of how many will show up. If not many then one large group. Also IF any of our senior CSC members can help me by doing the "Opening" speech it would be appreciated, I tend to pass out when speaking in front of a large group of people; in the mean time I will try to prepare something just in case although our Backup sweep might be needed. Thank You all for assisting and for speaking up. See You All On Saturday. .

[Ezzzzy1]

I think two years back the n00b ride went to Deckers. All in all it was a good ride :lol:

:lol:

[DriverDave]

If I wasn't taking the dirtbikes to Moab this weekend, I would have been happy to lead the first group. Hope you kids have fun! :D

[Generic]

If someone want's to give me talking points I can give the speech, I've only heard it once so I want to make sure I hit everything though.

[nate357159]

I'll go, I've been a member for about 5 years, just got a new bike so I don't mind spending time with the newbies if it'd help, but I don't know decker's well enough to lead anyone.

[SaShWhO]

Wait?
what?
Ride?
what??
huh?
wow!
ok!
i ride!
oh god,
what to wear?
what to ride?
wait,
what?

[Clovis]

Saturday has a good weather forecast with Sunday being slightly better. I'm planning on going out on Sunday on one of those privite rides with my Taos companions.

I won't be on this ride but it's safe to say I know every good road in this state :)

Deckers is fun, noob friendly but kind of a short ride. Someone mentioned riding 67 last the deckers store to woodland park and hwy 24. Just wondering but why? There is a 5 mile section of twisties about 3 or 4 miles past the store and then nothing for the 15 remaining miles to Woodland Park.

i would suggest going to Evergreen from MoCo and then taking the side roads to central city parkway. Go thru central city and take 119 to Nederland. From Nederland you have lunch options plus peak to peak and even highway.

peak to peak is 20 miles from Nederland and if you venture to hwy 7 it's another 14 miles to Lyons.

Be careful with 7 though if you are a noobie. It's in great shape and it's a very fun road but requires at least some experience. It was last years noob ride where some guy went off the road and into a boulder breaking both his legs, I think his back and was air lifted out.

peak to peak on the other hand is more noob friendly while offering thrill and excitement for experienced riders.

[One-ops]

How's that guy doing anyway he a member here ?

[Ezzzzy1]

Wait?
what?
Ride?

Wear that new little get-up that you got... The orange one that says Honda on it :lol:

[Jmetz]

Some reading from last years ride for the newby noobs. Some good points and things for consideration are made in the thread. Read the downed riders accounting and learn from it. It's a perfect example of the wrong mindset.

http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?49507-Winter-buster-ride-Sunday-March-3rd/page10&highlight=Noob

Be safe, have fun, and as always ride your own ride. If people aren't willing to wait up for you at points they probably aren't worth riding with.

[mdub]

Re-read that thread. Kinda wish I lead the so called fast group up the 2nd go up. But after gettin a tkt prior year from officer Robinson figure I have a drink and chill in the back.

[Generic]

I will be at the Golden Starbucks at 8:30, KSU up at 8:45 to head to MoCo.

[tarded400]

I'm thinking I'll meet you at the Starbucks. Problem- googled "Golden Starbucks" and found 4 of them. Which one?

[madvlad]

The one next to the 7/11 on Washington Street I think

[tarded400]

Well shoot- it would take as much time to detour up there as it would to just head on down to MoCo. I'll just go that route.

And yes, the one off Washington across from the 7/11

damn why a Saturday!!!! i work
Other wise id be down for a nice chill ride shirtless no helmet just a bandana

[arrrghhh]

Not completely new to riding, but new to this group. Rode with some other groups, hopefully this one is a bit more friendly.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

[~Barn~]

Any weather related anomalies not withstanding, I'm pretty committed to being there for this ride. I'm trying to rope my coworker (and reasonably newie rider) AdamAnnen (http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/member.php?8231-AdamAnnen) into joining us. I would ask that you all to blow up his profile page with PMs and VMs, encouraging him to come along! :D

Adam should totally go on this ride.. did he get a new bike or is he riding one or your lovely ladies?

[~Barn~]

Adam Annen is actually a different Adam from "Smithy" who you're probably thinking of from Softball. Smithy did not replace his after the wreck and Adam's Kawi is new, but he's quickly racking up the miles! Send him a PM or VM!!

[DiddysR6]

damnit! I'm out for Saturday... The higher ups here at work decided to have a server migration Fri night, so i'll be lucky to be done by 4am. Have a good ride guys, I'll see ya at the next one

[RajunCajun]

I'm in and can sweep the intermediate group, I can lead also but much prefer to sweep.

Also, anyone want to meet at the Golden Starbucks at 8:15?

I'm down for Starbucks since I'll be riding down from Boulder on a red R1.

[Nolan]

I might be there......

[DarkT]

I'll see if I can make it tomorrow, it'd be fun to meet you all!

[SaShWhO]

According to my sources the rain is not going to stop tonight or tomorrow morning.
that being said, my candy ass is out.

[BlueDog]

weather.com shows all clear from Denver to Palmer lake from 8am to 1pm... I'll be there, just need to decide if I bring the Superhawk or the new KLR with the temp tag in the spirit of newb ride...

[Dasaxman6]

[AOK303]

[tarded400]

Won't be able to make it today... had some plans change. Hopefully I'll catch another one of these soon

[Clovis]

So, who crashed?

[BlueDog]

No one crashed that I saw.

My group that went to Deckers after Palmer all made it back to 285 safely and aside from 30 seconds of rain along Foxton Road the weather was beautiful and the roads were great. Everyone that got scared off by a few clouds missed out...

[DemonRider]

This was a Very smooth NewB Ride Everyone followed Rules 1 & 2 ;-) ;; thanks everyone for coming out. I will start working on Next year Now so I'm better prepared. It was surly a great time and much appreciated. Thanks for the info BlueDog, everyone else went to FayMyers afterwords I got pulled over on 105 and given a warning on my way. Thank You Matty, Generic, Bornwildnfree, and Slo for taking lead and sweep "respectively". Sure hope everyone else made it home A OK, and thank you for coming out.

[smorrison20]

I had slack in my chain (bought it old) and decided to fix it this morning.. Bad thing because there was a hard clicking every chain rotation. So I had to head back home and order a new chain/sprocket set :cry:

I wish that didn't happen :(. Glad all the new people seemed to have a good time though!

Glad to hear everyone had a great ride! :)

Pretty sure his mohawk didn't come in and he lost a shoe. Same damn thing happened to me!

It's definitely there but nothing that will take you by surprise if you're being cautious. Plenty of fun fast turns with no sand.

I had a great time. Thank you DemonRider for putting this all together. Deckers was a blast too. Thanks BlueDog for leading it. My bike was constantly revving over 10000+ and that was FUN! Hope to ride with you guys again.

That was a very enjoyable ride! It was my first time to Palmer Lake and the scenery getting there was absolutely gorgeous, tho can't say much for the "lake" itself :)

Big thanks to all the organizers, especially Christie, Ramon, Slo and Karen (forgive misspelled all of your names).

So, who crashed?

That was a snarky comment, I shouldn't have made it. Sorry.

Glad the ride went off without a hitch and all the more impressive with 30-ish bikes.

Thanks for putting everything together, it was great meeting some of you. I'm the guy who broke down at the very start so I apologize for keeping some of you behind and thanks to everyone who helped me out!

Ended up being nothing, just some radiator overflow from letting my bike run too long without moving. I tried to find everyone but didn't know the route. Hope to join next time!

Great ride and a great pace, if it wasnt chilly I would have gone on to Deckers, I have yet to take that back route through woodland park and up through Deckers but would like to do that run sometime (if anyone plans that again). Great people, met some new riders that worked well with me and overall had a great time. I headed back the way we came to Palmer lake and then jaunted over to Fay Myers, nice ride both directions.

I definitely look forward to a great season with a lot more rides! POST UP!

Kai,
(I'm the guy that stopped on the bike) Glad that's all it was and not anything worse, sorry you weren't able to join us.

I'm up in Arvada if you want to go for a ride sometime

It was nice to see everybody come out for the ride, and I'm happy to hear that everything was mostly incident-free! I'm sorry that I didn't go A-to-B with the rest of the group, but once I got separated early, I decided to not try and play catch-up and just ended up doing some solo riding up into the hills.

The post-party at Fay was also a good time and I'm glad a lot of you ended up there to enjoy the freebies. I'm looking forward to the next group ride!

Well I appreciate you stopping to help me out. I'm definitely up for a ride sometime, I tend to be a weekend rider with my work schedule.
