Looks like this will be Newbie Ride after all! :ride
@Newbies: I will lead our little pack. If experienced riders want to join, I'll certainly take the help. Please review the requirements for bike and gear in the first post.
@Experienced: When you show up, please let me know if you're interested in helping with the newbies (or not). Once the ride is ready to go, I'll ask that the non-helpers go first. If you're going to do the proposed loop, I'm happy to help with noting landmarks so you don't get lost on the way, and maybe you can meet us for lunch in Middletown.
Recognition Protocol: I'll be on a white BMW F800s with a Givi trunk, wearing black leathers with a yellow safety vest and a white/blue/red Shoei.
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
