SBR Annual Newbie ride tomorrow? (Saturday the 25th)

Alex · April 24th, 2009, 09:09 PM

Anyone from here going to the newbie ride tomorrow? Looks like 150+ bikes at this point. I'll be there on the ninjette, as the sweep for group #3.

Satruday the 25th or Sunday the 26th??? I suppose I could pop over there...

Tell everyone I said hi!

Alex · April 25th, 2009, 08:24 AM

The 25th (fixed, thx!). Heading out in a few minutes; I'll certainly say hello to folks for you...

Snake · April 25th, 2009, 09:33 AM

Add me to the list as well please.

BlueTyke · April 25th, 2009, 05:46 PM

How did it go!? Turn out as huge as it was in years past?

Alex · April 25th, 2009, 07:18 PM

Went great! 170+ bikes, decent weather, no big incidents. (a tipover or two, some mechanical bike issues, and only one significant crash that I know of, but the rider was fine). A whole pile of pics are being loaded by a bunch of different people over on SBR. I took none, as I saw dozens of other cameras taking all the shots I'd ever want anyway, and they'll all be online shortly. :-)

I was out there reppin' the 250s.

Somehow my face got sunburned. Through my full-face helmet. With a mirrored/tinted shield.

Alex · April 26th, 2009, 01:12 AM

Good seeing you there, Ryan! Here's a group shot at Four Corners at the ride wrap-up. Looks like a lot of people, but it's just a small portion of folks compared to the ride start...

(click pic for larger version)

Someone caught me when I wasn't looking...

And again, look at that squid so close to the DY!

Angel-be-Good · April 26th, 2009, 01:19 AM

Hah, that is very "close."

Ooh, found one more:

It's nice having photos like this, so hard to take by myself

And now a quick video of the end of the ride.

BlueTyke · April 26th, 2009, 01:44 PM

wow! So many familiar faces!

Good to see they are well

paterick4o8 · April 26th, 2009, 05:15 PM

I thought I saw you there Alex & Ryan, tho I've never met or seen you fellas in person. Woulda been nice to officially meet everyone, but seemed like everyone stayed with their own group or friends they already knew. and btw that downed rider was on an older 250 and only wore converses! hopefully his feet and ankles are fine.

I was in group #7.

Also I remember seeing 2 green, 2 red, and 2 BLUE (including mine) 250Rs yesterday.
It's cool that they took pictures, here's mine:

Angel-be-Good · April 26th, 2009, 05:28 PM

I was rummaging through all the photos looking for shots of my bike and my friends', and your bike kept giving me false alarms

Even your jacket is similar to mine...

And I think Converse kid that took a spill was on a VTR.

mike_sema · April 27th, 2009, 02:41 PM

djindia23 · April 28th, 2009, 11:29 AM
