    Anyone want to ride in Portland ME area?

    I'm a beginner rider who just picked up a 90 Kawasaki EX500. The weather has been great recently and promises to stay sunny for a while, so I have been out on my bike a lot.

    I'm looking for a group of people around Portland to ride with since all of my friends are still into cagers. They don't seem to understand why I like to ride in circles around my town 200 miles a day for fun.

    I'd be up for riding sometime. I'm pretty busy as I work 9-5 during the week and have some stuff and night but hoping to start getting to riding on the weekend. I have a conference I have to go to this weekend but hopefully next weekend can get a ride.

    Gorham here. I usually ride on the weekends. I like to leave early before there is too much traffic.(7am to 12)

    Anyone up for a quick ride in a bit. I can finally go pick my bike up at reynolds around 5:30 and have until 8 before I need to do anything. Anyone up for going for a ride around the area and helping me learn?

    Re: Anyone want to ride in Portland ME area?

    Alright Portlanders (and ones from the surrounding areas).....we have talked about riding together, but have not seem to get it done unless Schmuhl is in town. She is so popular

    I am not free this Friday (damn work), but I was thinking of riding on Saturday and probably to the track on Sunday. Anyone around? I am not too familiar with good roads in the area, but always willing to explore. I am more than a ride around town kind of girl.

    Re: Anyone want to ride in Portland ME area?

    What about this Saturday like jerseygirl suggested?

    I wake up pretty early. I'll be on the road as early as 8:30 AM on Saturday. Nice open roads around then

    Any problems with the back bay parking lot by Hannafords?

    Ahh 8:30...you're killing me! I have an end of the year kickball party on Friday night. Kickball=drinking=no 8:30am for me. Also I might be caging it up to this: http://newenglandforestrally.com/. I am not sure yet....

    What is this Clam Festival you speak of? I am fairly new to the area...

    Except now there are warnings not to eat clams because of the red tide! But they say they're using Canadian clams for the festival.

    The clam fest is kind of a big deal in southern Maine. I never really got it, but a lot of people seem to love going!

    When I was in highschool we used to smoke weed and eat funnel cake. I guess people out of highschool still do this?

    I'm ready to bang out some roads tomorrow. I've worked my face off all week and it's time to ride. Has the time and place been settled?

    In Westbrook and have fallen slave to the bike this year. This is year #1 to notch my belt but am ready to ride over and over again. Have rode a few good routes and have done about 98% of my riding alone.... Ready for someone else to ride around with. PM me and I'm in.
