    Last minute ride Sun May 3rd

    Anybody interested in a last minute ride today? The weather seems to be clearing up and the bike is sick of sitting in the garage. I was thinking maybe a quick roll through the canyons and down to Gibby's sportsbar in Aurora to watch some MotoGP if anyone is down. Maybe 11ish??

    Are there any places closer that show MotoGP? I am pretty new to colorado.. so still learning the good spots to go. Race is on SPEED vision from 3-4:30...... so I would imagine any bar with a decent cable/satellite package would turn the race on.

    I'm gonna hang out at home today. I don't know of any spots closer to the north area that show MotoGP. Someone's gonna have to investigate that one of these days. It would do us some good to have a meet-up spot for MotoGP Sundays closer to home.

    You should check out the n00b ride on the 17th. We'll still meet up for that. Then there's the ride on the 24th that's been an on-going thing for the past almost 4 years.

    I was thinking Buffalo Wild wings in Longmont. They have speed vision, and speed vision has MotoGP. So it is a win-win.

    Yep...sounds like a good place to meet up. Make sure to post the location of BWW. Being on the southwest side of Longmont is a good location.

    Allright so it is settled.... if anyone is down.. and I am sure people are. Lets meet at Buffalo Wild wings in longmont at 1pm. We can do an easy ride through the hills and head back to BWW to watch the racing at 3pm. Everyone is welcome and it is going to be a real easy ride.

    Forecast is for a chance of isolated showers...so, there may be showers and if there are showers, they won't be all over the front range. At least that's what one weather station says.

    It's sunny up here in Loveland, for now.

    Well I think a 1pm ride will be a little late in the afternoon for me, stoopid finals! I thought the 28th and Baseline ride this morning was canceled because when I went to bed last night at 11 it was pouring rain. When I woke up, it was bright, sunny and dry.

    McVaaahhh posted up in the main n00b thread on Friday and rescheduled for the 17th. So, it's still happening, but in 2 weeks.

    I keep looking at the long range forecast, too. It goes out 10 days and next weekend is looking really nice. I think my kids will be wanting me to stick around on Mother's Day, but I'm gonna try to find a few peeps to ride with on Saturday. I know, the long range isn't that trust-worthy, but yeah, the rest of this week is looking amazing.

    Check out the Memorial Day ride that is actually on Sunday the 24th as well. It's a good time and a great way to meet other riders.

    So no one planning on riding today? I would hate to sit there by myself.

    Re: Last minute ride Sun May 3rd

    I won't be there, either...sorry Kevin. But, don't give up hope. We need to have a north'ish meetin spot for MotoGP and I'm not averse to meeting up in Longmont after a ride. I just am kind of busy the next few weeks. I'll bug ya if you don't post up more reminders in the weeks to come, though. So, please don't not go just cuz no one has posted up a confirmation. Go and let us know what the BWW is like and how amenable they are to letting you watch the races.

    Longmont is a little too south for me today in this weather. If it was 70+ I'd be in for sure. Have fun.

    Im going to HPR sat and sun to see if I can be one of those corner marshalls. And Sun 24th, I'll be at bandimere for the Victory Motorcycle Challenge (http://www.bandimere.com/events/even...ate=05/01/2009).

    But there will be plenty of more rides and events. Next time we do a ride i'll bring my GF. She finally started riding this year.
