    CSC late summer newb ride

    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/forum...ad.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. "
    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.

    Re: CSC late summer newb ride

    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.

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

    Re: CSC late summer newb ride

    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.

    Re: CSC late summer newb ride

    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.

    Re: CSC late summer newb ride

    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
