first spring newb ride 3/19/2011

[BadR6Man]

I would like to invite all of the new and old riders here on CSC for a spring newb ride on march 19. Come on out for a relaxed (10-15 mph over) pace ride to Bishops Castle and beyond. Weather forecast is looking good with a high of 71F. This will be a great time to learn and pick up some rider feedback (I'm sure there will be some more experienced riders that will show up), knock off the winter cobwebs and to meet other members. A stop for lunch, gas, and BS will be along the way.

Meet up spot at the Shell gas station hidden behind the Safeway at 115 and S academy. The address for safeway for those who do not know is:

6520 South Academy Boulevard
Colorado Springs, CO 80906

Time: 10am meet, Kickstands up at 10:30am. If all goes well, expect to be back to the Springs at 3pm (if not sooner )

If I can pick up some new tires before then, I may join you guys. I can lead, sweep, or do whatever.

Would love to, thanks for posting. Bike needs her 15k tune-up, but I think it'll be okay for this ride. Will confirm in a couple days.

Totally wanna go! Hubby (1badsvt) and I have been talking about going to Bishop's Castle sometime, since we've never been! I'll have to check with him, hopefully he isn't working ;-)

[Stangracer85]

Bishops Ride is one of my favorite routes..such a mixture of everything.

[Mntntoproc]

I should be able to make this trip! Have yet to make it Bishop's and have heard lots of good things about the trip there.

[1BadSvt]

If I'm not working the Wife and I are in.

[Tykho]

Sounds like a fun ride, Highway 12 is a very nice road. I'll try to make it.

You and about a dozen other people last year. People are constantly going into the guardrail near the first uphill S-curve.

Indeed - here the proof!

Atleast you didn't get stabbed by your own MIRROR!

[BlueRanger]

My injuries were way worse! I bent a toe back slightly.

[BlueRanger]

I never even made it to any uphill s curve. I went down before the twistiest... in my garage lol.

[GuitarX]

I'm in. I'll be meeting some other Northies in the Fay Myers parking lot. Probably get there around 8:15, KSU 8:30. Any other folks want to head down with us, just meet us there.

[BC14]

Myself and some other northies will be coming along on this trip. I love some of the roads around that area. Hopefully they aren't too gravelly.
