KZ Kari Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi. I'm pretty sure I don't actually know a single one of you guys, but I'd love to join this ride; meet some new people. I've been riding for the better part of a decade, but never really in a group and not on these roads, so I'd like to stick in the slow group.

We need to get some leads and sweeps!!! Are we all in agreement of keeping the same meet spot and route as last year?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Perfect man, I'll update the thread. We need to get some leads and sweeps!!! Are we all in agreement of keeping the same meet spot and route as last year??I assure you to make it easy on yourself just to make it that way. Plus it makes it a shit ton easier in anyone that was there last year willing to lead and sweep this year. Otherwise it will be 6 more pages of discussion and half will be worthless anyway. So long as I don't sell the bike for some crazy price or take the opportunity to make a long weekend ride to somewhere new you can pretty much count me in to sweep a medium group or slim chance if we need another slow group I can lead one of those if absolutely necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-no-moto Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Agreed on the same spot and route. Minus pokeys in town detour. .lol sorry couldn't help it I would still ride in your group you did a awesome lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've never led or swept but I'd like to learn. I'll voice that to my group the day of the ride to see if there's a best position to observe etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malaysionnvasion Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I wouldnt mind sweeping as i said in a previous post. I just want to get good gopro action. Ive got alot of mounts and would actually if possible, be all over at certain times as long as im cleared by the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Other riders with gopro should mount them all on your bike, then we can get good footage of several different angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malaysionnvasion Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ha that would be titties and i would be down. Who else has a gopro? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I am curious about the paces listed. There is a difference between 25-30 over in one curve and 25-30 over in another. Any footage of what these guys were riding like last year? That would give me a good idea on where I'd like to be on the type of unknown roads we are talking about. If I started in one group I'm assuming its ok to jump up a pace group if I feel as though I'm comfortable riding faster? PS - I am GoPro mounted.

Helmutt Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) You should be fine jumping to a different group after the ride starts Ryan. Its pretty laid back ruling so long as you dont add to an already overloaded group and/or see a faster or slower group at a fuel stop. Pending the number of leads/sweeps is where it counts. Hoping we have more than needed so the groups can remain smaller and more manageable.Ps, I'll be running a GoPro as well Edited March 15, 2014 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I will probably make this one. I will most likely be medium this time depending on what bike I'm on. There's a chance I could have something different by the time of this ride. Then I would probably drop to slow. I swept a slow group last year and it didn't turn out too bad even though I hadn't ever done that before. Only issue was people peeled off at the stop. I could sweep a medium group this time if need be but would prefer not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Plus, I imagine most aren't as fast as they think they are. Shhh I certainly do not volunteer to sleep because I'm too slow to keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tall_tracy Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Plus, I imagine most aren't as fast as they think they are. I was thinking about putting stickers all over myself instead of my bike... That should make me faster, right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be much easier to move down if you felt uncomfortable with the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Whatever group you ride in, ride your own ride. Do not feel compelled to keep up & ride over your head. If you do, you drastically increase your chances of having a really bad day & preventing others in the group from enjoying the ride as well. If you do end up in a group that is outpacing your comfort zone there is no shame at all in waving other riders by. The group will & would much rather wait for riders to catch up at all turn offs than to be tending to your broken bones & bike. Just my two cents but I think way too much emphasis & worry is being put on pace here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Plus, I imagine most aren't as fast as they think they are. True dat! I've meet many on here that talk like they are fast and that proved to be false. I consider myself to be a middle of the pack riders maybe even a bit below that mark and I've put some to shame. I never understood this dick measuring contest to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
