Is it alright for cruisers to join this ride, if so my father in law may want to join

Bird · Post by **Bird** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 6:48 pm

Your Father in Law is welcome to join in since it's a moderate ride. We do ask that they stay with the pace which will be well within any cruiser's capability.

I'm in as long as the wind settles down a bit. It makes riding difficult and its hard to pull wheelies with 20+ knt cross winds!

Bird · Post by **Bird** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:37 pm

Should be down around 9-10 mph by ride time according to my weather site. You guys may have to keep both wheels down. Remember, this is a Moderate ride with some new (to us) riders ... be nice.

Cheers to Eric for making sure that the last weekend in Texas is spent with Vag smiling on two wheels. Now he thinks he needs a LITER bike!

Ride went without any mishaps, blown tires or leaking radiators. We had 13 riders/bikes and AGAIN, I've decided that's about the limit for one section of a group ride. Even with everyone watching the lights, it was barely enough time to get everyone through.

Those that barely made it before we pulled out of the Sonic, you missed my speech on starting on time this year ... glad you managed to get there and not find the parking lot empty.

It was a little cool starting out, but by the time we finished, it was a BEAUTIFUL Texas Spring afternoon. Looking forward to the next one, guys. In the mean time, stay safe.

Cant think of a better way (except maybe a trackday) to finish off my time here. A guy couldnt have better friends.
