So is this actually a drunken sleep over and then get up and ride??? LOL

Yep :)

way to go Tyne proud of you.... ok T. dont see your name up here as yet... lol

lol be proud of me when you see me at the top. I still have to make it past new years eve at Will's and be able to get up in the freezing cold to make it.

hangover and cold OMG.Its gonna be a rough ride.LOL

I'm there...at the top...eating a $20 cookie and $75 shot glass of milk :)

You guys did read the description as see that we are only riding to Windy Point right ;)

you are still nutz

oh right....lol I knew that ...lol

Yeah if you're going to the top you're going alone hunny :) My expensive thermals only get me so far lol

This was posted last night. So we will watch and see how it goes.

Mt Lemmon Highway closed
The Pima County Sheriff's Department At 8:15 p.m. closed Mt Lemmon Hwy at it's base to the general public.

They must have read our forum again.....

Need to come up with a different name for Mt. Lemmon

Should I have my licence, registration, and proof of insurance all together in a handy see-through pouch just in case?

There too busy reading the TSR forum...lol

I myself am going to take this one nice and easy. I am not looking for progress report up there :)

Well I'm on a 250 so it will be hard for me to take it nice and easy but I will try.

lol famous last words from Will.. Unless Jen is with him I'm pretty sure "nice and easy" will mean "first to the top" ;)

As far as I know the mountain was only closed due to snowfall so it should be good to go by the 1st unless they get more the night before.

I plan to find an interesting curve and park the bike. Wait for folks to ride down and get some cool video and pics.

Please remember our STRONG recommendations for wearing as much gear as possible as well as our rules on no passing on the right for any reason and waiting for the rider ahead of you to wave you past before passing on on the left in unsure areas. Also, we have quite a few new people on this ride with us so give everyone their space in the curves. Lets do our best to make this year a safer year for TSB.

Lets just take it easy up the Mt. and enjoy the day.

wow.. this is getting big!

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. :)

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

Yes, from my understanding they go up much earlier.

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.

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.

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

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

I need a tee shirt!!!

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

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.

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

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

Thanks for all of the great pics.

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.

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.

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. :)

Thanks William.
