Auguest 18, 2012 UP UP the mountain

This past Saturday the ride started , as usual, at Dunkin.
We have new members:
Tim and Melissa Brooks-Welcome!!
They ride Honda PSX 150. Some sweet rides...so quiet  but firm on the road. Their daughter came too but I don't know her name.

They joined Bill Levy, James Killian, Jim Coleman, Dave Hawk, and Tony Boydston. I didn't go.
I had told Tim if I led the ride we would go up Roberts Mill and down the W. So...Tim led the ride up Roberts Mill and down the W.  Great fun for all

WE miss you on the rides.

Catching up Ride of 8-11-2012

We have a new photographer  YEA!
James Killian brings along his camera and video on many rides. So here is what he caught on this ride.
Bill Levy, me, Jim Coleman and James caught this ride.Bill thought he had found a new way to the ridge but it was just partially new. So we went up and caught the beauty of the ridge then road down on Shallowford.  Of course once the Civil war came up and cannons....guess who was all aglow.

We miss y'all and hope you start again when the weather cools.

Rides off tomorrow

Rain, rain, go away

FYBO rally report

My 2011 goal: I'm trying to get to one scooter rally each month this year. I have lots planned out and hope it works.
First rally was FYBO in Durham NC. Due to mechanical problems we couldn't take our scoots. AND the weather was just beautiful...not too cold as the rally leaders said it usually was. So that was a BIG loss but we had a great time anyhoo. Durham is the kind of town that scooters really can maneuver.Lots of the rally took place @Fullsteam, that's the big F on the door. Like most rallies there is lots of beer and high times, Fullsteam is the bar where we met. Here are some pix of the awards and scoots that showed up. The rally leaders were way cool as were all the people we met. Of course we Fossils were the oldest of the riders....like we didn't know it.
One high point for me was meeting Star Markham [hope this is correct] who rode in the 2010 Cannonballe from Vancouver to Portland . She is one great gal. She has her own style including her paper and pencil GPS router. Forgot the name of the thingamajig but it worked for her and the lammy she rode.

Next rally is in CocoBeach FLa at the end of the month, by then my ride will be painted. I've had 2stroke of genius screen leg-shield banners for the club riders. I will have them made by the time we go. Let us know if you plan to go.
