Intermediate Sundayy June 19th CANCELLED
Intermediate Sundayy June 19th CANCELLED
FWMR Club Ride
Meetup: Sonic on Clifford St. in White Settlement
Kick stands up: 9:29
Ride Leader: Fixxervi6
This will be an intermediate pace ride. The pace on the country roads is what we call spirited and has a tendency to remain above posted speeds. On an Intermediate ride the ride leader will keep an eye on the group but is also focused on riding his/her own ride. Intermediate rides the riders are expected to be comfortable riding with the group and have good self control, allowing the ride leader to "relax" a bit.
Please be dressed appropriately: full face helmet, zip together mesh at a minimum (leathers recommended), appropriate motorcycle boots and gloves. Jeans are not appropriate protection for intermediate rides. If you are not appropriately protected for intermediate paced rides you'll be asked to leave, sorry guys but safety is important.
If you have not participated in a few moderate paced rides first we asked that you please attend a couple of those before an intermediate so you can learn the group and the group can learn you.
First gas stop is a long one so make sure you show up with a full tank, going to stretch the first leg out to get to an early lunch, that's where the first gas stop will be roughly 90 miles. It's going to be hot later in the day, if you have evap vests use them, make sure you hydrate well the day before and get some water/gatoraid in you at the stops. I may be in armored mesh depending on how I feel the day of just due to the temperatures. Full disclosure if you go down at intermediate pace wearing full mesh your chances of losing some skin are pretty good so leather is preferred.
CANCELLED - Sorry guys, I'm still under the weather

Dammit man! OUT...but to be fair, I will be on the beach. Have fun, ride safe, be sure to take a Tow-A-Saki rope...and a spare battery.

Re: Intermediate Sundayy June 19th
It's Father's Day... I really wanted to see what the next level of riding was about, but I told my dad already that I would hang out with him for the day. Wish he had a bike but oh well I guess. I'll catch up on the next ride hopefully. Bike night still on for tomorrow night??

Re: Intermediate Sundayy June 19th
I hate to miss this intermediate ride (just staying on topic...the mods you know), but I'll be on the beach on Father's Day with my daughter, which is a treat. But for dear old dad, picking him up a bottle of Woodford Reserve to make up for the absence.
