Hey guys,
As I said on my previous thread, the March 28th ride is canceled. I postponed it for April 4th, but I have now decided to have the ride on April 3rd. We are still meeting up at 10 AM and kickstands go up at 10:45. When I made April 4th date I wasnt thinking about Easter and such. Besides, Next Saturday (April 3rd) is suppose to be 76 friggin degrees!! I apologize if I have confused or inconvenienced anybody, but I have to do what I have to do. I am only trying to look out for the best interest of NESR members and myself. I am hoping that I get as big of a response on this ride as I did on the March 28th ride. Again, any and all riders are welcome, i would prefer everyone have their jackets and boots on, but you are more than welcome to show up dressed as you please. You are all adults and know what risks you take when you ride. I am aware that some of you will want to meet up at various locations. For those who want to do this, please try and meet us at a location that is on the route. We don't need 20-30 bikes stopping and going and taking side streets to pick riders up. If the weather and roads permit, we will be riding in a pretty steady pace, and probably hit hard on the twisties. So please ride at your own pace and risk. Do not feel that you have to keep up m we will not leave anyone behind. Also, please use riding safety techniques. i.e. , pointing out road hazards with feet, riding staggered on straights,and in line on hard curves, using hand signals and giving the thumbs up or down when passing. Also please alert us of any police officers spotted. I can not emphasize enough about reading ride rules. One important one being, if you get pulled over, you know none of us. You were just riding and you joined us. I want to make this ride as fun and safe as possible, and have ZERO accidents. I will be making lunch reservations before we hit the Mohawk trail. I will let you guys know when and where we are gonna stop. I also need volunteers to bring certain items like first aid kits, maps, gps, tools (besides the one that come with your bike). I also need a volunteer for sweeps, and I need to designate a secondary ride leader. Preferably someone who knows the route we are taking pretty well. As of right now, I do not plan on splitting us up. There is only a second leader so that if we do get split up, that person can lead the way to the next point. If I am missing anything, please feel free to post. But do not post if you are going to bitch and whine and tell us we are stupid for riding in a large group. Thank you for your time.
