Saturday, May 30, '09. This ride saw us doing the Cash Canyon Trail as well as the TVA facility on Racoon Mtn followed by a pizza feast at Scenic City Scooters.


























The Man of the Day.

The last ride and more

The last ride made me think that some folks needed a little more encouragement to get out and ride. The founders are aware that there are other commitments. We are having rides on Saturdays and Sundays. We will be having late afternoon weekday rides as the days get longer.
That brings me to ride points.
Lately I have been awful at remembering all your names. So while riding I thought how could I get all riders names but not sound so bad. I needed a way to have names written down. This led me to ride points.

There will be ride points given for each ride. Usually 1 point per ride unless other factors appeal to me. Rain rides will be honored with 5 points per rider. Founders will not qualify.

I am generally not using this blog for personal writing. The countdown calender doesn't count as it shows when I can be a full-time fossil and full-time rider. But I digress.

I will be having radiation therapy for 6-8 weeks for diagnosed and removed breast canser. So this may interfere with my plans as I am hoping to have a mid-summer barbecue @ my house. This will all depend on how I feel. There will be one when the rewards will be given for ride points and ride points will count towards Goddess Awards.

"In the Wind" will still be awarded to those who ride daily to work or use their scoot as their daily ride.

Finally, I am still choosing a name for the new scoot. Please send your ideas in comments.

Look for another post about new members.

Any one up for a ride on the Cash Canyon Road on Saturday, May 30?
Riders will depart from Scenic City Scooters at 9:00AM. This should be a relatively short run, probably lasting about 2 hours. I have no idea what kind of road conditions we may encounter so who knows for sure how long it will be?

Sunday, 5/24/09. The start of the May Run (While still dry). These are the riders who do not fear a bit of rain.

NIghtfall and Canyon ride

Well a solid 4 Fossils showed up. More scooters that last year. I'm still gonna try to get the parking sign up.

tomorrow is the canyon ride. unless its raining at 8:30 count on Mr. Bill and Shiftless Sister to be at Scenic City Scooters at 9

and a good time was had by all

I think the Spring Open House at Scenic City was great. I saw many of our members there.
Bill and Phyllis, Richard and Annie, and Sherrie and John. And so cute was Stan Obel with Lillie in the crook of his arm.
I bought a FABOO new helmet, satin black like the scoot. I"ll be so chic.

When Nightfall starts, possibly this Friday, scootguys and scootergirls will meet up @Scenic City. I think its 6:15 so check their site. I plan to make a parking sign "scooters only".

Remember the t-shirts? Well Jen @Scenic City is going to be silk screening t-shirts so we will be able to get a smaller amount. We can now use the dino on the scoot logo. I am also trying to have the logo digitized so I can machine embroider it.

Time for the first organization ride for '09. Let's plan on another run down the Tennessee River Canyon. How does Sunday, May 24 th starting at 9:00 from Scenic City Scooters sound? Plan on bringing a lunch as this will be a long ride.
