CANCELLED: Mellow Group Ride: 9:30am Alice's & Beyond! March 14, - Saturday-EastBay & Peninsula

THIS RIDE IS CANCELLED DUE TO 70% CHANCE OF RAIN, manana. This ride will be rescheduled.

Life or work a drag lately?

Tired of commuting on two wheels and just wanna ride for fun?

Haven't been able to find the time to ride?


Wanna meet other possibly like minded riders?

If you don't know what Alice's is, then you need to come out!!!!



30% chance of rain will cancel the ride, but I will still probably go.

All are welcome. Newbies to Knee draggers, come out and play.


When: K/U up 9:30am sharp! Saturday March 14, 2020.

Gas up BEFORE you arrive at Peets, 2 gas stations a block away, and yes, I am punctual and will leave you behind if you are tardy. You can catch up on the freeway.

Where:
Peet's Coffee, 20439 Redwood Road, Castro Valley

Who: All are welcome, kneedraggers to noobies. some lane splitting may occur possibly during our freeway ride and at the end of 92 very, very likely.

I am asking if you are a new rider, please have at least 1,000 miles under your belt of street riding. No previous group riding experience necessary. If you aren't sure if you are ready, post up or PM me, and we can chat.


We'll be having brunch at Alice's.


IF you haven't been on a group ride before or it's been 5 yrs, please review 'the pace':

http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...d.php?t=162143

Route:
from CV-> 580W to 238 -> 880S -> hwy 92 (san mateo bridge) -> to skyline blvd/35... and then to Alice's.


SF and peninsula peeps: we'll be stopping at Skyline (hwy 35)/92, at the TOP of the hill, not down by the lake, first parking lot, after you turn onto hwy 35 on the right side. We should be there at 10:30am if you want to join us there. From here, we will dispatch groups by their preferred riding speed and skill, groups of 3-6 bikes, and spacing the groups out so we don't butt fuck cars or other motorcyclists.


POST Alice's group ride will be hosted by my buddy Sam. Route will be decided over brunch/lunch.


IF you ONLY want to ride after Alice's, please PM me, so I we can exchange numbers so I can tell you when we are done eating.

Post up if you are coming, as it helps in planning leads and sweeps.

Budman likes photographic evidence of the fun we have on these group rides, so take many pics folks, and post 'em up.

PLEASE:
*Safety first. This is not a race, and we aren't on the track.
*Arrive with a full tank of gas - easy b/c we are meeting very close to two gas stations...
*Make sure your bike is in good operating condition.
*Make sure you are in good working order. If you are tired or hung over, there will be another group ride in the future.
*ATGATT, please don't make me spank you for posing as a squid.
* Everyone is expected to ride within their comfort level. Ride your own ride! it's not a race, and you don't need to keep up with the dude in front of you.
*Volunteers for lead and sweep always appreciated and will receive good karma.

Hey Jackie, bring your RC8, you can ride my 1290GT if we can trade bikes for a bit. Want to see if I can get on with something with clipons still, before I'm too old.

Mike, I would love to see the 2019 S3. I have a 2013.

Ken: I have a couple of supersports. I think the rsv4 would probably be the most bang for your buck.

That's just it. I'm just too cramped up on an RSV4. A friend at work has one. My hips hurt just sitting on it. The RC8 has the magic adjustable ergos. But oooh that engine on the Ape. Not that the big KTM engines aren't fun.

Yeah, I'm out. Wife's weekend in Nevada is canceled for fear of getting stuck due to snow.

^ Someone at work just said that to me, almost verbatim. She asked how I was today, I said great cuz it’s such a goregeous day, and I rode the rsv4 today, which always puts me in a stellar mood. She smiled and said, exactly what you did.

We do need the rain though. Preferably on the weekdays if you work on the weekdays.

1268 smiley face style emojis on my phone, and none of them are a just plain smiley face, so I guess I'm going with this one instead.👍
