License plate frames and more

The frames are ordered and I expect them at the end of this week. If you've received an original, handmade by Mr. Bones, you should keep it. You can have another frame with the professional logo. :)
I am going to write an article for Scoot about the Fossils. I will post it here first so members can comment, decide which pictures to use; you get the idea.

Sunday, bright and cool saw Jerry, Lynn, Bill, and Chris (new rider) getting ready to leave for North Chattanooga and Chickamuga Battlefield.











At the impressive North Shore Overlook.















A pit stop at the Battlefield Visitor Center















The impressive Wilder Monument, 85 feet to the top.















Scooterists taking in the view from the top.










View looking down.
"Where's Waldo", or rather, "Where's the scooters?" Look closely, they can be seen.













The spiral descent from Monument's Top.







The ride finished with a run on the Missionary Ridge Crest Road.

Inspired by the video

Watching the video inspired me to share my vision of scooter races here in the Scenic City. I'd like time trials.
In my next post I'll describe the courses I'd like to see.

Just in, a sneak preview of the new Fossils Plate holder. Talking with the designer in an exclusive interview, I learned they soon will be available for your scooter.

Due to a miscommunication many members missed last Sunday's Ride. So portions of that ride will be repeated next Sunday, June 15. The ride will form at 8:00 AM at Scenic City Scooters. The overlook on the North Shore will be repeated, then on to the Battlefield for a ride through the park, followed by a return on the Missionary Ridge Crest Road.

For future note. If a ride is announced on the web site, then unless it is canceled on the web site the ride will occur. If you have any questions email me

Gathering at 8, before the heat of the day, two hardy Fossils, Pam and Bill set forth on the City Run. The 60 mile journey included numerous scenic overlooks coupled with very little automobile (cager) traffic.






















Starting with a senic overlook on the North Shore

our travels took us down ever colorful Rossville Blvd to Chickamauga Battlefield.




















The Battlefield displayed its usual quiet dignity.











The return from the Battlefield was along the full length of the Crest Road, from Rossville through Missionary Ridge.

There on the Ridge, we found a Battlefield Monument at the headquarters of Confederate General Braxton Braggs.

























Motoring through and oogling the housing in the Rivermont Development marked the end of our now, warm growing, 3 hour trek.

City ride planned for June 8, starting at 8:00 from Scenic City Scooters. This should last several hours and will involve great views.

Let's do a city ride during June. I've drawn a tentative route for a Sunday Morning Ride. Perhaps starting around 8:00, keeping heat in mind. This ride goes through roads in North Chattanooga, Downtown and the Walnut St Bridge (walk across?), Chickamulga Battlefield, Missionary Ridge, and Riverside Area. The ride can be a few hours or longer, depending on stops. There should be many opportunities for some great photos and coffee shops should be readily available. How does June 8th at 8:00 sound?
