I can do either Saturday or Sunday, which ever works best for who ever would want to join in. Loop kinda starts near Laurel so i think that is a good meeting place but i could meet anywhere as long as i am not going to far out of the way.

Let me know, It will be a controlled yet spirited ride nothing crazy so you will be able to ride at your own pace. I am not fast but if somehow i do start to pull away in the turns i slow down in the straights to keep everyone together

Should be a great weekend for riding

I'm down for Sunday, as long as the weather holds. Maybe early afternoon?

Sounds like a plan. i have no time restraints so let me know what works best for u.

subxero · April 26th, 2013, 06:27 AM

Re did the route on google maps, it is saying 2hrs or so. Not sure what else anyone interested in would have planned but the route will take us near the cyclegear store in Laurel, and the Honda powersports in Crofton if anyone was interested in a stopping at either of these places.

edit:
nix that, honda is closed sunday.

oh well, just riding it is

As no one else is chiming in, you wanna' just set a time and place? I'm thinking 2PM, you name the place. Does that work?

Definitely, where you coming from, what roads you going to take to get towards Laurel, belthway? 198? Will try to set the meet location somewhere sensible for both of us.

Yup, I'll be coming from Germantown, so I'll come in on 198, as long as that can dump me somewhere convenient.

Awesome! I'll PM you my cell.

BlueHairSar · April 27th, 2013, 08:24 AM

BOYS!!! I have some free time from like 3p - 5p and I'll be coming from school at UMD College Park. Wanna meet me at Cycle Gear in Laurel at 3ish so I can join for a little bit?!?!?!?!?!!!??? (Especially since I can't make it to the DE picnic on Sunday)

Old Lemon · April 27th, 2013, 09:14 AM

I may be able to go, depends on where you guys are going cause I got work at 5 so i could ride for like a little over an hour

BlueHairSar · April 27th, 2013, 09:54 AM

Woops, I mean today. MICHAEL: RIDE WITH MEEEEE!

Though it now appears that Travis and I might have a mini ride tomorrow (Sunday) morning. I need to be back at school by 2:30ish, so maybe something at 11 or noon.

Old Lemon · April 27th, 2013, 10:07 AM

as enticing as your free mustache rides may seem, i already have plans for today before work at 5

BlueHairSar · April 27th, 2013, 10:08 AM

Pshaw, lame.

What about tomorrow?

Old Lemon · April 27th, 2013, 10:11 AM

i can do w/e tomorrow before 5, preferably after 12 cause i like sleep

tnr4 · April 27th, 2013, 10:35 AM

Okay, @subxero: what do you think about revising our meeting time to like 11:30 tomorrow? That is early enough to have some time with Sarah, and late enough that hopefully Michael can get some sleep.

What do you think, all? Could a 11:30 meet-up work?

BlueHairSar · April 27th, 2013, 11:58 AM

I'm in, yo!

Old Lemon · April 27th, 2013, 12:24 PM

ehh 11 30 is still to early for my liking, im trying to wake up at 12. you guys go on

subxero · April 27th, 2013, 01:04 PM

Sorry, im late to the party i've been working on my bike all morning just got finished... for the most part.

I can ride whenever on Sunday I don't care. 11, 12, 1, 2 you guys tell me what your time restraints are and i will cater to them.

RAWK. So let's say 11:30 in the parking lot in front of Panda West/Subway, on the map Joe linked above. We can chat about the route for a few, and stands up by 11:45. So it'll be me, Joe and Sarah; anyone else who wants to join, make sure to post up here so we wait for you!

PUMPED.

BlueHairSar · April 27th, 2013, 03:23 PM

I'm in!

I HAVE to be back on campus at like 2:45, so provided we don't go too far away, I could ride until 1:45 or 2ish.

Lemon, stop being lame, and join us. I'll pay for your coffee.

Should not be a problem time wise.

So lets meet here as decided earlier

http://goo.gl/maps/XLnwc

11:30 don't be late.

Old Lemon · April 27th, 2013, 07:29 PM

nah im gonna be lame cause the last month straight ive woken up way to early to go on rides. the next few weekends i refuse to wake up earlier then i would to go to school.

And i dont drink coffee. So if you guys want to start future rides at say 1:30 pm i will be down

BlueHairSar · April 27th, 2013, 07:59 PM

But but... this is my first group ride ever, let alone with ninjettes. And also I'm moving in a month.

Old Lemon · April 27th, 2013, 08:01 PM

welp, maybe next weekend we can ride at 1:30

subxero · April 28th, 2013, 05:35 AM

Hi All,

I am going to be tinkering with my bike for a little bit so wont be around here to answer any questions. But i am good to go, see you all at 11:30

BlueHairSar · April 28th, 2013, 11:58 AM

Thanks for the ride, boys! You rock. Except for lemon who it's in fact still a lame-o

subxero · April 28th, 2013, 12:12 PM

All in all a good ride, only 1 minor navigation error, one closed road, some guy blowing all his grass onto the road after a turn but all was good.
Hope everyone enjoyed the route, lots of nice roads IMO, will have to do it again.

tnr4 · April 28th, 2013, 02:14 PM

Totally did. Nice to ride with you both! I have to admit, I'm a little tired! 135mi total, and I got rained on coming home.

Haha, but totally worth it.

Was thinking about that. Noticed it raining and was like huh? I bet Travis got rained on going back home sucks to be him. I don't think it was a heavy rain though, i took a nap so not sure if it got worse or not.

Haha. Yup, sure did.

Also, I totally forgot to say, once we came to a stop -- that was an epic wheelie! Was that intentional? That wasn't a little 'wheelette' -- that was full-on, 45* sh*t, lol. Anyway, intentional or not, I'm rather glad it didn't seem to cause you any problems (and I hope Sarah got it on the GoPro!).

Oh yeah, forgot about that, It might have been on purpose

A little bit of my squidness coming through, i generally do a good job at keeping it at bay.

My clutch is paying the price for it though

BlueHairSar · April 28th, 2013, 03:55 PM

I'm pretty sure I got it, but I've been in opera land since getting back, so i haven't had a chance to look.

There's a good chance I'll be unproductive tonight and look at and possibly edit the footage...

BlueHairSar · April 28th, 2013, 04:03 PM

AND how awesome are we that all of us were in full gear! Totally awesome. Joe, I think the full gear counteracts the squid a bit. So maybe you're a just a squidlette.

Or a nudibranch!

(I'd post a photo but I'm on my phone)

BlueHairSar · April 28th, 2013, 08:29 PM

Here you go! A nudibrach. I tried to find one that would match your bike ;0)

Old Lemon · April 29th, 2013, 08:51 AM
