The idea for the N00b ride is simple: to welcome those newer riders and given them a positive role model for responsible and safe riding; to welcome riders who are new to Colorado and/or canyon riding and to welcome people to group riding. The CSC has traditionally held this ride in the earlier part of the riding season, before the onslaught of summer drivers and daytrippers yet far enough into the spring that the roads are clear of snow, ice and sand.
This year we will be hosting the N00b ride on May 21, the weekend before Memorial Day and as always, we will be teaming up experienced riders with their less experienced counterparts. While this is traditionally worked around the sportbike community, we do not and have not turned away persons on other types pf motorcycles. We ask only that everyone wear a helmet, gloves, ankle-height shoes and pants. Those who show up without this minimal amount of gear will be asked to leave the group ride.
So, let's all get together and have some fun!
May 21 at MoCo/ Noob Ride. 9am. Kick Stands Up, 9:30. Route: http://goo.gl/437Eo
Depending on the number of people we get we'll need a bunch of leads and sweeps. What did we have last year, 8 or 9 groups? Let's get at least 9 teams of leaders and sweepers.
Leaders and sweepers, remember this isn't a race. This is a noob ride. Hopefully we'll be able to put a handful of noobs with a handful of more experienced riders so the groups will all have an even mix.
I'm thinking at least two women leads and sweeps for the girls only/mainly group.
Also, gear is required. Helmet, gloves, jackets and boots that cover your ankles, at least.

Let me know about route suggestions. I like the 105 idea. Not sure if 83 is curvy enough, though.
