Are we going to have another newb ride this summer?
Are we going to have another newb ride this summer?
id be down to go!!!!
sounds good to me im still a bit of a newbie myself
I'd be interested in going out on a ride with a group of people...mostly been riding on my own in the canyons to improve my turns, braking, and accelerating.
The more north (closer to Boulder) would be better, and on a weekend probably unless its after Aug 8th.
contact mtnairlover.
i'm sure she would like to set one up.
my schedule is screwy,so it would be hit or miss for me to host it.
if you have "newbish" type route in mind.
post it up.
mayo....
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

Last Sunday I went with the group that meets at the 120th & I-25 Conoco. The only newb in the group was me. They were very understanding of my slowness. Fantastic ride!
See http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forum...ad.php?t=24099 for the players, pictures, and comments.

Sorry fellas, I won't be able to do one again this year. If somebody sets one up I'll try and make it and help out if I can, but my schedule is slammed for most of the rest of the summer.
Cathy (mtnairlover) organized the north side ride this year to meet up with the Denver group so I'm sure she'd be willing to throw down again. Maybe DK (konichd) would be willing to organize the second one.

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.
"Motorcycles tell us a more useful truth: we are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride."

I would be in for a newb ride
I would be interested in going as long as its a sunday...
how about this sunday in the early morn!!??
I know several very cool runs that are nothing short of spectacular and ok for any skill level so long as we keep the speed at a reasonable rate.
I'm a northie so meeting at conoco at 120th and 25 works well for me and most no co folk.
open for comments and suggestions.
your fellow noob,
Sash
be nice till it's time to no longer be nice
It looks like we have enough people interested in another newb ride this summer. Being a newb myself I cannot lead the group so I hope someone will lead us to the Promised Land
As for route I’m thinking to meet at MoCo on Saturday or Sunday and take it from there.
This Sunday? Short notice newb ride or want to make it two weeks from now? Aug 10th?
How many you newbs have been to the Haus? By way of Big Thompson Cyn?

I think I might be up for a Sunday morning ride, though I can't stay out too long, I'm in the process of moving and Sunday is my day off. Is it gonna be canyon carving, twisties, long straight-a-ways, or what? Keep posting details up here and I'll check it up until Saturday night/sunday morning.
I haven't been to MotoHaus yet, or taken Big Thompson Canyon.
Organization is the name of the game, boys and girls. Let's get our ducks in a row and come up with something all newbs will enjoy...m'kay?!!!
PM'ing to commence...in 5, 4, 3....
...ready to take on the world...one canyon at a time...

I think this sunday morning would work for me! Can't stay out all day cuz im moving too. Is it against the rules to bring the bf that rides a harley? He would be SO jealous if I go riding w/o him!
Never been to MotoHaus or BTC?! Down for going new places tho
I would be more than happy to go out with some people. I don't have a black and white plate in the MRA, but I feel like I've relenquished my noob status (maybe)? Can't this Sunday, a bunch of people will be in Pueblo, but maybe in a week, on the 3rd? The weekend after (9/10) are MRA races, which I want to attend (by all means don't base anything around me though). or go with Sash this sunday, he's great!
We are pretty lucky to be northies, alot of good people always willing to help! Maybe we can get a couple others to lead/sweep? We'll let cathy decide because she kicks ass! (and we all pretty much have to listen to her)

fun ride would be hwy 7 out of lyons to estes down hwy 34 to loveland, then over to moto haus to BS about the ride. Go early and the traffic will be light(er)
easy route for newbies and fun for nonnewbies
Just a thought
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
Yep, the "true" Northies are great. I've posted up the date for the Long-Ass ride in my other thread though, Sean so you might wanna hold off on confirming the 3rd, as that is the date I'd like to do the NoCo ride.
Anyhoo...working on coordinating efforts is good. Oh, and no rules as to who tags along. It would be great if everyone had a helmet, jacket, gloves and over-the-ankle boots, though.
More of this stuff later...
