Pace: Snail Slow :steed:
Route: 15 N -> Highland Valley Road -> Old Julian -> Santa Ysabel for a lunch stop -> Banner -> Paly (maybe)

This is going to be a nice easy ride into the canyons and twisties with a stop for lunch. This ride is for all of you who are worried about not knowing the roads and looking for more experienced riders to ride with to help you out and give you pointers. Speed will be at a slow pace in order to learn the roads and just enjoy the ride and the company. Wear the maximum amout of gear possible. No :squid:

[A_spec]

going matt? I might want to cruise with you guys.

[flare]

i'm so there. snail pace is my kinda pace.

[illusions_ls]

i define snail pace.....i want to go but dont got a suit anymore :confused: dammit maybe next time i'l go

[sdtraviesosd]

we'll go slow. just wear as much gear as you have

[HURLEYfyed]

I've been itching for a ride, an easy company one to be honest. This is good since its a slow pace and a tour for me of what I always read about. count me in as this will be my first group ride/meet with the club. ill be rolling in the typical protective gear (h/g/b/j) w/ jeans tho. looking forward to meeting everyone!

[techne]

... I need to get my street legal bodywork ... this is a good ride to get reacquainted with the street!

[hhakana]

cool...i over heard you guys talking about this at the shop :) c ya there pzz

[thehowchow]

Yay! Now I can buy you lunch. :cheers:

Just wear as much as you can. Helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots. Do you still have your boots? If not, over the ankle boots work too. You have to have some of those for work, don't you? =p

[Typerr10]

hhakana, that's a sssiiiccckkk aviator pic!!! ROCK on brothur!

[Fixcinater]

I'm there, sweeping the back. Might have the GS500 if the Duc is still in the shop, but I'll be there either way.

ATGATT.

[flare]

anyone want to go this saturday?

i'm always down to ride. just say when.

[ireimers]

I'll take the back with Anthony... that is as long as he doesn't have his Duc... I don't know if I could stand to listen to that disgustingly beautiful noise the whole ride. See y'all there.

Look forward to meeting some new avatars.

P.S. Any one have any suggestions on a good route for this type of ride?

[HURLEYfyed]

Count me in for this sat too, same pace preferred. Just looking to relax and enjoy the road

[CPM F4]

P.S. Any one have any suggestions on a good route for this type of ride?

Might I suggest 15 N -> Highland Valley Road -> Old Julian -> Santa Ysabel for a lunch stop -> Banner?

[Lost]

Greg, are you going?

[CPM F4]

Rumor has it that I'm leading. You coming out, Aaron? It'd be nice to ride with you on the streets again. It's been a looooooooooonnnnnggggg while since we've done that.

[247BlackOut]

Might I suggest 15 N -> Highland Valley Road -> Old Julian -> Santa Ysabel for a lunch stop -> Banner?

Awww...what happened to the snuffalufagus?! But yes, nice route...I know a certain someone who has been dying to go back to banner. =) And yes...rumor does have it that Greg is leading this ride. ^_^ I would have to say Greg is the best person I know to lead this ride out of all of the people I have ever ridden with. :thumbsup:

[Arnold_R1]

I might join in on the fun if both the sun and the moon intersect before then. :whistle:

[brakstad]

Ah Arnold! YES! I'll have to come out too then!

[SpecialisTX]

wow i might want in on this.

hopefully i can get back in time though before you guys take off.

this might be a good opportunity for me to learn more about rider form and everything.

[hhakana]

hhakana, that's a sssiiiccckkk aviator pic!!! ROCK on brothur!

why thank you kind sir....thats some nice lean there on pally i mite say...9 days till track day and 11 days till the hypercycles group ride...10 days till moto season starts...*moment of silence* ahhhh

[TheMexican]

does anyone know when we'd get back? I want to goto church at 5:30..

[CPM F4]

These rides usually last 3 to 4 hours. Come on out and cut out early if you need to. Just let someone in the group know that you're leaving so that we don't end up waiting for you.

Im there.. Sounds like a fun run..

[xiaoyin]

Might I suggest 15 N -> Highland Valley Road -> Old Julian -> Santa Ysabel for a lunch stop -> Banner?

+1. :lol:

I've been missing Banner pretty bad. Hopefully the bike will be back from the shop by then... I'd be depressed if I missed this ride.

I know a few of the guys were talking about hitting up Palomar tho - would we have time for both? ;)

[spewmonkey]

Hope you got your bike back, I know the last time we talked at MM Bike Night you had the best guys on it, they usually take their time to do things right.

We'll see you guys along the way, I'll be on this ride: http://www.sportbikeswest.com/group-rides-events/4382-group-ride-sunday-march-4th.html

We'll be avoiding Paly: Salt, run-off, and snow seeking cagers.

Thanks, Mario. Just waiting on the forks to get in from SF now, should be a 1-day job after they get in. Everything else is ready and waiting to go. :thumbsup:

You should join us - the sportsbikewest ride takes place a week before this one ;)

[spewmonkey]

My bad:squid:, no excuse, I'll be joining you guys on this one, proly due paly as well if the weather holds out.:)

See you all at MV or MM Bike Night.

BTW, an fyi for everyone, please remember that Daylight Savings comes into effect on March 11, so it'll actually be 8:30 if you forget to reset your clock (like I always do... :nerd: )

Because they've changed the dates this year, clocks that have been preprogrammed to automatically change will not change on the correct date, so I wouldn't rely too heavily on those...

[CaptainCR]

Hmmm....Perhaps I'll have to put my street fairings back on and join you guys.

[CPM F4]

I know a few of the guys were talking about hitting up Palomar tho - would we have time for both? ;)

We might be able to work it in. You're going to lead, right?

[Lost]

Common Adam, it'll be fun!


We just gotta remember to keep it mellow :)

[cbeckett]

I'm in...good note on the daylight savings. As much as it will be on the news all over the place, there will still be lots of people who miss it :)

[Mack da Knife]

[I would like to ride with u guys. Will be my first time going on a good ride since I was back east. But I'm riding a Hayabusa, so I won't be able to hit them corners as aggressive as some of yall.[/I]:thumbsup:

No worries man. I'm sure the pace will be Slow and Safe. This is an orientation ride to get people that haven’t been to the mountains familiar with the roads and comfortable riding in a group.:thumbsup:

[cbrsmurf]

Rumor has it that I'm leading. You coming out, Aaron? It'd be nice to ride with you on the streets again. It's been a looooooooooonnnnnggggg while since we've done that.

Sweet! Just like ol' times. This is going to be fun.

Jeff, that would be awesome!

[xiaoyin]

We might be able to work it in. You're going to lead, right?

Lol. That would just end up getting the whole group lost out in the mountains, and then hours of winding our way back. Of course, that might be a fun trip in itself. :squid:

I forgot to ask if anyone coming from down south would like to meet up and then roll to mira mesa. I'll be coming from Chula Vista.

Would a Mod please update the first post with the following route info:

15 N -> Highland Valley Road -> Old Julian -> Santa Ysabel for a lunch stop -> Banner -> Paly (maybe)

my friend and i should be tagging along for this ride. we'll be heading up from chula as well. send me a pm of when/where you wanna meetup.

Yay! It's been so long! You should come out, I don't think I've ever had the chance to ride with you before. =)

[xiaoyin]

Looks like my bike'll be ready just in time. Planning to pick it up the Saturday before the ride.. :woot:

I may be inviting a friend to join us - it'll be a good way to introduce him to other riders that are safe, as well as introduce him to the group ride experience.

Day's coming up - I can't wait! It's looking like an awesome turnout

[docdennis]

A few of us might make this one as well... Just before my deployment...

[Demigod]

This all sounds like a great time, but I would rate myself as a "supernewbie"! Only have 1000 mile on the first bike i've ever owned. I read "safe and slow", but do you think this might be a bit over my head? I don't want to hold anyone back. Thoughts??

[illusions_ls]

seems like a good amount of people are going to attend. maybe we should have more than one leader just to be on the safe side. its going to be hard to keep everyone together when it comes to intersections. and for the newbs attending, dont worry about holding the group back, becuase we believe in no such thing. pretty much everyone on this forum understands and we NEVER leave anyone behind regardless of how slow they ride. :thumbsup:

[CPM F4]

As long as you ride your own ride and don't try to keep up with the people in front of you, you should do fine. Don't worry about holding anyone back. We'll make stops along the way so that we all stay together. It's all about getting to know the roads, other riders and most of all, having fun. Hope to see you out there.

[247BlackOut]

seems like a good amount of people are going to attend. maybe we should have more than one leader just to be on the safe side.

We got that covered. ^_^ There's about 4 other people I can think of right now who have enough experience riding, and with the roads out there who are willing to help out. We should buy the leaders neon vests hahaa. :thumbsup:

[Robert]

I might just make it out for this ride, It's been along time since i have ridden any streets!

[Termin8r]

With all the cool guys going, this seems like it'd be a fun ride. However, aren't any of you guys going to watch the first MotoGP of the season? :rolleyes:

I guess that's what DVRs are for. But seriously, it's MotoGP!!!

[Fixcinater]

There's always another MotoGP weekend.

[docdennis]

I might just make it out for this ride, It's been along time since i have ridden any streets!

I vote for robert to lead. This guy is super fast...

[cbeckett]

I live in Eastlake. I see some posts from other's living in the South about hooking up locally and heading up to Mira Mesa together.

I would like to suggest that we meet at the Starbucks just off 805 / Plaza Blvd in National City around 8:30am.

[Fixcinater]

I vote for robert to lead. This guy is super fast...




I don't know if you are kidding here or not, and if you are, I ask you skip the next paragraph, but:


That's not the point of A) a ride designated as a "Newbie ride" and B) the streets (vs. track) in general.

[Robert]

I vote for robert to lead. This guy is super fast...

Thanks for the compliment, must be mistaken identity, If I go I plan on chilling and enjoying good company and safe riding practices:thumbsup:

[McBain]

Hey Guys,

Couldn't tell from your route what your plans where when you get to the bottom of Banner, but but saw on another forum that 78 will be closed east of Scissors Crossing. So you'll have to head north on S2 to get to Palomar (or back up Bannner). Also probably means Montezuma will be very crowded with cars going to the desert.

Ride Safe

[flare]

all this cuz of some endangered rats with wings...

[McBain]

Hey Guys,

For those unfamiliar with SD, here's a map of the ride:

http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/road/3037829/

I wasn't sure how you guys were planning to get to palomar, but here is our Palomar East map (starting in Santa Ysabel). South Grade is just a bit down the road.

http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/road/8716970/

Anyhow, some of us from SMR may join up somewhere mid ride...we like to head out a bit earlier (also gotta make sure to be back for MotoGP).

- Abel

[Rome Rom]

I haven't ridden in almost two years and finally got the r6 up and running and might as well get in one more 'Easy Company' ride before I sell her.

I'm in and will cruise up with the rest of us 'southsiders' to Mira Mesa.

[HURLEYfyed]

I live in Eastlake. I see some posts from other's living in the South about hooking up locally and heading up to Mira Mesa together.

I'm down for this spot, any other southsiders agree?

[SpecialisTX]

does anybody mind if i bring a friend riding in a cage m3? hes always wanted to go up with a group to check out the roads up near pally.

[Fixcinater]

I would say that'd be OK if he tailed one of the groups, I think cars+bikes in a solid group is not a good idea, but I'll bring this point up when the leaders/sweepers meet tonight to discuss tactics for the ride.

[dLo GSR]

i'll go if buymoto finishes my bike soon :whistle:

yea, i don't think its a good idea either. i second his buddy riding b!tch.

[GetnJgyWitit]

Ok so I'm pretty sure I've got LV_Styles coming out with me, but I think we are just going to make a B-Line straight to Pally. We won't get up there until around 11:30. Hope some of you can make it over to the Mt.

[Fixcinater]

My roommate wants to come along, 2-up on his Honda Shadow. He doesn't have a moto license or permit.

We'll discuss this tonight at the meeting as well, but thoughts from people that aren't going to be there tonight?

seeing how its so easy to get a permit, i have to vote no. if you cant spend the time to get a permit, i dont think you sould be going out on group rides,...

why not just have him get a permit tomorrow, i mean 1 hour tops ....

[Fixcinater]

I'm asking about it right now, he's got nothing doing after 1PM tomorrow, I'll try to get him down to the DMV.

yea, i don't think its a good idea either. i second his buddy riding b!tch.

+1. Gotta make sure he's got gear and stuff tho, too, as well as a lesson in proper passenger etiquette... :thumbsup:

[GPTECHMAN]

hopefully everyone remembered to set their clocks forward...........

[SPACEBOY]

Any one know about a big accident that closed Highand valley rd. about the time this ride was going through there???

[brakstad]

Road was closed by the time we got there, we had to go another route. Had a good time out there, but felt like crap (cold), so I cut out at Santa Y. Hope everyone had a good ride back.

[Irk]

Apparently there was a fatality. Another biker I believe.

I was out there at 10 something, must have happened just a few minutes behind me.

[SpecialisTX]

never seen so many people in a group ride in my life. great turnout!!! thanks to everyone that gave me some insight. thanks walter/scott/jeff for running with me.

the info really helped big time. im a lot more comfortable with the tighter corners now.

[JustPha]

Thank you everyone for taking me through my first group ride (or long ride in general). I learned a bunch of new stuff today. It was nice meeting everyone, hope to see you guys around more. Too bad I had to leave early to meet up with my family who came down to visit. Hope everyone else had a great and safe ride home.

[Lost]

HUGE turn out. Thanks everyone! I had a great time.

[Fixcinater]

Man, I wasn't expecting 40-50 bikes out there. Glad to see that there is a group out there as concerned about safety and a good public image like HyCy is. Had a good time, it was nice to meet all the new people and have a good safe ride.

[247BlackOut]

Thanks everyone for making this group ride a GREAT ride! Everyone made it home safely I hope? Also wanted to thank Aaron (Lost) and Chuckie (Treadidas) for risking their lives and their bikes by blocking off the streets in order for 30+ riders to make it through safely and stick together when we were leaving that gas station. :woot: Hypercycles :rockon:

[Demigod]

Wow! This was my first group ride, and I had a blast. Thanks to everyone for taking care of the newbies like me. Carl, Shelby and the south bay crew, Thanks for letting me hang!

When is the next ride?!?!?!?

[mieff]

i'm bummed i missed it. i was planning on going and something came up. hopefully there will be another one in the not too distant future. it sounds like it was a good time.

[Mack da Knife]

Man, that as a great ride. I learned a lot of new things, can't wait to go on another one!!!!!!

[r6heina]

despite being sore (i'm sure the best is yet to come) i had an awesome time!! it was my first time up in the mountains as well as my first group ride. i was impressed with how organized everything was and the safety that was promoted. thanks for all the pointers and it was nice meeting everyone.

ps -- big thanks to those who helped tightened my peg!! ;)

[FeeLin_bLue]

for a first group ride that was awsome. thanks everyone who put this together:thumbsup:

[TreAdidas]

:werd:

Good times friends... another incident free ride. Not that we're immune to it but it seems a lot of the groups out there these days are prone to it.

Well after Bex and I rolled out of Paly, we took a left and headed due east for the desert. We rolled down Montezuma towards Borrego Springs and sat out at the big turnout there (little sidelight if you go to Google Earth and type in "Hellhole, CA" as your location and you have Geographic Web function turned on you can see a picture I took of this turnout) After that we rolled down to the gas station in BS and decided to continue on to the Salton Sea. The place it ugly but the ride there is nice. We then decided to end our evening with a nice little ride through El Centro I am happy to report that they have Sonic Burger and further that is the closest one to us time wise. We then picked up 8 East back to San Diego... all 120 crotch hurtin' miles of it.

Fun times. Thanks y'all.

[hhakana]

This was the biggest group ride ive ever been on. Well it was nice to meet a few new faces on here we should plan an even bigger event like Track Daz or Ti2TT @ Streets during spring break:) To the rest of us that stayed behind at pally it was nice riding with you guys too ... Walter..Joe..Pha? and the guy on the green kawai or gixseer. Moto Gp season has started today so we should get together after rides and watch the season ..BBQ and what not. Matt and Ian fun riding with you boys should do it again ok have great week everyone i know finals are coming up so good luck pzz

despite being sore (i'm sure the best is yet to come) i had an awesome time!! it was my first time up in the mountains as well as my first group ride. i was impressed with how organized everything was and the safety that was promoted. thanks for all the pointers and it was nice meeting everyone.

ps -- big thanks to those who helped tightened my peg!! ;)


so that was what was going on? everytime i asked someone around that area what was going on, nobody knew.

how did the peg come loose anyway?

Glad all of you guys had a fun time. Did anybody take pics? Documentation is always key :thumbsup:

Great meeting/riding with everyone out there today. Thanks for leading the ride Greg.

No problem. Just remember to put some Loctite on those bolts.:)

[flare]

[CPM F4]

I'm glad everyone had a good time and made it back safe and sound. Thanks to all who came out to help with the ride: Chuckie, Becky, Matt F., Matt H., Aaron, Adam, Anthony, Bengt (hope you're feeling better), Mikey, Ian, Paul and friend (sorry, didn't get your name) who got us on another route after HVR was roadblocked. I hope I didn't forget anybody. If I did, my apologies and also thank you for the help.

And a BIG thanks to Jeanette, 247BlackOut, for organizing this event.

Hope to see you again out on the road or on the track some time.

Greg

Any one know about a big accident that closed Highand valley rd. about the time this ride was going through there???

It wasn't a fatality after all: http://www.northcountytimes.com/articles/2007/03/12/news/inland/31107202640.txt
20 year old on a brand new 600 gixxer followed and subsequently run over by 16 year old.

[hhakana]

i wonder what turn

[ireimers]

It was really nice hangin out with friends and meeting new people. I had a great time.

Atta-boy Greg for leading a group this size and doing it well.

[MotoFuzzle]

Yeah, thanks Greg for getting us all through safely. A group ride of this size can be a dagerous event without the right planning and care (everybody else that Greg listed). It was an awesome ride...even if Anthony and I missed the Old Julian portion of it. We got to ride it twice, looking for you guys so it was still fun. Also, it was nice hanging out and riding with the rest of you that were there after-hours. We had the mountain all to ourselves and got to work on our form pretty thoroughly. I'm suprised Ian hasn't posted pics of his kneepucks yet.

[JDMDARK]

Thanks for making it easy on my first group ride. Arthur, for telling me whats up. Greg leading, Lost (name?) for protecting us duckling coming onto the streets. Everyone at the lunch table, george, scott, yellow (sony r1), the couple and the end of the table, the two guys sitting to my left, green do-rag girl, graves rear-set girl, and the brother with the honda at the corner, great breakfast! Brian and the other Filipino brother on the Paly heads up. And Greg for for leading George, Jeremy, and I back down. I can hear the music playing, soo thanks again EVERYONE! I can't stop smiling!

[Fixcinater]

...even if Anthony and I missed the Old Julian portion of it.

Thanks for not leaving me behind, it was good to follow you thru, I'd never done that road before.

I'm suprised Ian hasn't posted pics of his kneepucks yet.

His camera probably gave up the ghost after being subjected to the constant squeaking of his boots.


Just kiddin', Ian.

[xiaoyin]

Awesome ride guys - more pictures are up on Scott's thread (http://www.hypercycles.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11060), as well as a link to all the rest of the pictures off my camera (courtesy of Matt F.), and a quick vid of the group turning up fast side.

Thanks to all the vets, leaders, sweepers that helped keep this ride uber-safe, as well as Greg for leading a pack this big, and Jeanette for organizing the ride. :thumbsup:

Edit: A special congratulations to Ian for finally doing some damage to those knee pucks... :cool:

Nice work mang!

[GPTECHMAN]

Looks like a great ride went down...bummed that I could witness it for myself. I love seeing the OG GBG out.
It really isnt an official ride without Greg. Good seeing the track superstars out, Adam and Lost. As well as the posers who probably forgot how to ride....:coughCHUCK: :coughGIRMANN: (nice suit BTW :thumbsup:)
MotoGP was ridiculous and couldnt miss it for the world.

Now if the Pasta Sex Machine showed up that would have been sooo fricking Gangsta.

Great to see all the new faces

[HURLEYfyed]

Wow! This was my first group ride, and I had a blast. Thanks to everyone for taking care of the newbies like me. Carl, Shelby and the south bay crew, Thanks for letting me hang!

No prob as it also was nice meeting and riding with you. Bring your wife next time as she totally missed out on a great ride!

[r6heina]

[TreAdidas]

Make sure you drop by Home Depot/Lowe's/(insert local hardware store here) and pick up some Loctite to make sure that stuff doesn't back out again.

Nice ride though. :thumbsup:

Damn, my name is yellow now? I guess if I have to be perpetually associated with something, rather-than people remembering my name, at least it's something beautiful =P

I'm sure if you wanted, someone with regular R1 fairings would switch, and then you'd be known as "The guy on that ____ R1, you know, the newbie". I'd take Yellow, if I were you.

:roflmao:

[SDTLRider]

The ride was great fun. I'll have to stop by on here more often and see about going on with you all more often. Thanks for the invite Greg.
