Moderate ride Saturday 2/18/2017 10am

Post by toy752 » Mon Feb 13, 2017 8:01 pm

We will be meeting at 9am at Montes in granbury. KSU at 10am after breakfast.

https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&h ... IgAQ%3D%3D

This will be a spirited ride on a wonderful highway of my choice.

This will be a Moderate pace ride. Moderates are great for riders who want a slightly faster pace than beginners but still slow enough to be relaxed and comfortable on any sized bike, with a passenger, or learning to ride with the group. The pace for a moderate ride is at or near posted speed limits. On a Moderate ride the ride leader tries to keep a closer eye on the group and adjust the speeds appropriately.

Please be dressed appropriately: helmet, jacket, gloves, over the ankle shoes and long pants.

I wonder if people are not seeing this ride post. It seems there should be a few more in and those that are out occasionally post.

It probably needs to be moved - as I understand the new rules any club member can post a ride so that would make this an official FWMR ride

May want to update the title

I'd love to make this, especially to support Heath but I already have plans for Saturday and I have adult stuff to do so I doubt I'm going to make it.

I want to go, but I just found out today that the client I have been working on might need weekend support for their UAT testing. Which pisses me off because up until I got an email at 5 PM today they hadn't mentioned any weekend support. I should know more tomorrow.

Wow didn't expect to open up club ride section and find my post in it.

This will be a short ride since I have things to do in the afternoon.

Still not sure about the weekend support, but right now I'm planning on riding.

Thank you to those that came out today. It sure was a beautiful day. Sorry about the wait this morning but glad Wes was able to make it.

Good ride! Didn't make it home in 15 minutes. Got stuck by a train, then ended up behind a cop on a side road. Still made it home in less than 30, though.

That was a great ride, thanks Heath! I really enjoyed Hwy 4. Last year on my second ride with fwmr Terry took us on those twistiest between Santo and Palo Pinto. We stopped at that same little gas station as we did today. I only knew him for a short time, but he sure left an impression on me... I'll bet there are some who still miss him every day. Thanks for the fun and the reminder of past good times. Jim, Mike, Josie, Charles and Wes I hope to see you all again soon.
