hello from the new guy

Tell us a little about yourself and say hello to the gang. We would like to hear about who, what, and why you ride as well as how you found us.

hello from the new guy

Post by mracr319 » Sun Nov 04, 2012 8:03 pm

Hi all. I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mike and I moved to the area about 2 months ago, but did not find this site until Saturday.

I work at Alliance airport and have ridden around most of the metro area. I also do trackdays and race but have not had a chance to hit any tracks yet. I may try to race next weekend at TWS but since I have never been there, I know I would get smoked, but might go for the experience.

Welcome to the boards. There should be a club ride this coming Saturday after we pick up trash. You are more than welcome to join us on both events. We also have a few racers among us too. Bike night is this coming Thursday as well, so come down to meet us and hang out with us (although I will not be there).

Welcome to the boards! I work out there in the Alliance area to. Saturday morning is one of our trash pick up day's for FM 5 down in Aledo which is one of our favorite roads. I believe there will be a group ride after the pick up, so if you can make it, you'll get a chance to make a club ride.

Nice bike by the way!

Just looked at FM 5, looks like a fun road.

If I don't head to TWS then I will try to make the trash pickup / group ride saturday.
