CSC Annual Noob Ride - Sat. May 21

[BC14]

I'm gonna be coming from the northeast, way east, if anyone wants to ride into Moco with myself and probably Adam(sir mix-a-lot-of-bacon).

[BC14]

All of this will be discussed. This ride should be no different from years past....

The mass people that show up will be broken down into small groups, leads and sweeps will be known through the group. Route should already be predetermined by the thread starter or be in discussion with others that have been around.

There will be talk about the route, along with a few basics on hand signals, and riding within this group. Some groups may even have a veteran paired up with a new rider to help out as well more one on one.

Any and all questions can be asked, don't feel embarrassed, this is a day many of us dedicate to help out the newbies.

Well spoken. I'll be talking with the OP today about this stuff so that I'll have a better idea for Saturday. Less confusion n what not.

I noticed the Northies are meeting up then riding to MOCO. Is a non noob gonna do the same for the southies or is it a" see ya at MOCO" thing for southies?

[NUTZ]

I'm gonna be coming from the Far East on my camel, if anyone wants to ride into Moco with myself and probably Adam(sir mix-a-lot-of-bacon).

What MSF course did you take? I apparently took the weenie weekend course and not the multi-year experience building course you took.

This ride is not for canyon carving. It's for the noobs. If you want a "real" ride, don't show up, go elsewhere on Sat.

First of all, thats just rude. Its an opinion, treat it as such, not the gospel.

Second, I'm perfectly fine riding at a lower pace than some of the other rides I've been on. Gives me a chance to get used to the tweaks I've done to my suspension. If you've got some kind of personal grudge against me from all of this, I welcome you to voice it in person on saturday, otherwise I'll treat this simply as water under the bridge and assume we're cool. Sound fair?

[brennahm]

Wow. You said something stupid that has the potential to scare off the people this ride is meant to serve. No personal grudge.

Sure. Water under the bridge.

[Snowman]

Every last one of us knows what it's like when we first began to ride. We had no idea what to expect and all those so called "real riders" were all very intimidating. Well after riding for as long as I have, I can say without doubt that we all never stop learning with these machines.

We are always finding out how to do something better and weather it's you first season or 31st it doesn't matter. Trust me these "Real Riders" are going to screw up just as easily as any of the rest of us, including me because thats how we learn to become better riders.

[Jason ON]

Wow! A lot has been discussed while I was in Moab. Most of the veterans on CSC have handled a lot of the questions from the Noobs (or, newbs) so I don't have to. However, I will answer these:

Wait, if we're gonna go as slow as last year, I can invite my buddy with a cruiser, no?

Sure thing. I've invited a couple of cruiser buddies, too, but I doubt they'll show.

I have a Rebel 250, is that slower enough?

Yes. :P

I'd love to join you. 09 Ninja 250. Got into canyons twice so far. I got about 2700 miles on it mostly street riding. Don't feel comfy riding more than speed limit + 10 into the curves. Let me know. thanks

We won't be breaking the speed limit for the most part. This ride is designed around new riders, new to canyons and new to group rides. This ride is about learning and comfort level. On the route back north (for those of us going north) we can make a judgement call on the weather and break into groups based on route or speed level.

BTW, Kris and I should be in, I'm willing to sweep.

No PPIR? Maybe you and Kris can head out a few minutes ahead and take pictures if we have enough sweepers.

Judgement Day - May 21st 2011

And I will be on my SV as is fitting.

Could someone put the route up on the first post....????

I will be printing out the route to bring to MoCo and can post a link to the route on Gmaps.

Really? For the 100th time... http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forum...ad.php?t=38272 Could someone edit the first post and put the directions to moco in it?

Will do.

[Jason ON]

Okay, so I just called the Mexcian restaurant Sully recommended and they don't have room for a group our size. Do any of you southies know somewhere easy to get to that has a lot of nearby options? For example a street or corner that has casual dining, fast food, etc. all within a reasonable distance to each other? I'm looking at Google maps for restaurants down that way and it's showing me downtown CoSprings is the best option.

What about North Academy and Briargate?

There's a McDonalds near there.

Jason - That sucks.. they have a huge covered patio.. what gives boo

Apparently it's graduation season and they already have a number or larger parties booked, so no more large parties and not enough room for this group. Academy and Briargate seem to have a few restaurants within a block or two of each other. So, for now, we'll plan on that unless someone else knows something I don't.

And for those of you who won't go back and read the first post:

[Sully]

Like Jim said, there are a few fast food places around there (Monument)... McD's, Arby's and Wendy's, I believe. If you're interested in those..

[UglyDogRacing]

And there is food at PPIR if you want to ride the extra few miles down the slab. Oh, and there is that parade lap thing you can do, too.

Maybe. That way newbs don't have to go through CoSprings to get to PPIR if they don't want to.
