it was a great way to start the new year see you guys on the next run

Thanks William.

The reason we did not break this group us was due to the slow nature of the ride. Any time we have more than a few riders we do break up into groups and regather at points along the way. I thank you all for the feed back and will breakup large groups even on slower rides in the future. :)

I agree to an extent on the break up into 2 groups on other rides. On this ride it was briefed as a slow ride and since I was in the front and am more than capable of riding much faster I kept the pace where it needed to be. It is good for the newer riders to be in the mix and have a more experienced rider behind them that can critique the new/slower riders riding technique.

I agree Tyne. Also at Pre-trip the leader usually says for the faster guys to pull out in line first. I was at the back coming down too, and I did not have a problem with the pace. Goal for the day was ride up legally and avoid attention from the cops. Job well done. There is no need to single anyone out. Everyone did a great job and it was a fun ride.

I'm not sure we need to break the group into 2 groups, however, I do agree that the people that know they're slower riders need to follow in the back and waive people by if needed as I can understand your frustration. This is something we will address on future rides. Thank you for the input.

Thanks for all of the great pics.

Hell of a turn out!! Weather was great too :) It was great meeting some new people too.

Great start to the new year.safe ride. beatiful day.

Today's ride was GREAT. It was a little slow up(and down for some) but we had no issues with Sheriff's and everyone made it safe. This was our second largest turn out. THANK YOU to everyone who made. 2010 is going to be a GREAT year.

Kyle, I will have an order form for new shirts up very soon :)

I need a tee shirt!!!

I am up and alive, see everyone in a bit.

I am.... gas-o-line! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!111111111111111111

Mike the BMW guys are meeting at 9 some will go all the way to the top but most will only go to WP and back the meeting place is the same as ours. hope that helps.

wow this is very cool turning into alot of people,don't worry joey im probably still slower in the corners on the 600 then you but, having fun.i went almost to windy pt yesterday and no snow or ice ,cold but tolerable.just wear thermals and layer.

Yes, from my understanding they go up much earlier.

William, you mentioned the BMW group doing this every year. Are they doing a separate ride or riding with us?

This should be a GREAT turn out. I want to set everyone's expectations now. This will NOT be a race up the Mt. This ride will be done in staggered formation till we get to the curves then we will switch to single file. With a group this size we will be noticed and I do not want to give the sheriff any reason to harass us. :)
