To New Hope.

Pace: Slow, we have over 15 bikes.

First Meet spot: Route 78, Exist 33 at the Exxon

Time: 10:00 a.m. Stands up at 11:00 a.m.

Anticipated arrival in New Hope: 4:00 p.m.

Destination: Fran's Pub across from Havana's.

Route: somerset, Hunterdon, Warren, Pa to New Hope

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Don’t forget your paper work... Come legal or don't come at all;
b) Pre-check your ride (tire pressure, brakes...etc.);
c) Come with a full tank;
d) Bring cash for pub;
e) Familiarize yourself with group ride etiquette;
f) If u have them, then bring them ==> charged Chatterboxes and/or Radios;
g) This will not be a motoGP circuit ==> Expect an easy moderate pace, turtlish at times;
h) Get a good night's rest... you will need your energy for the long ride;
i) Gear Up and Dress Warm;
j) BE SAFE!

And don't forget the basics of group riding:
1. Ride staggered and allow a safe following distance.
2. Let faster riders pass you if you're holding them up (pet peeve of mine).
3. You're the link between the leader and the guy immedietely behind you. If you think he (the follower) went down or is gonna lose the group, slow down and wait for him. The guy in front of you will slow down in turn.
4. Ride your own ride. Don't go in over your head trying to keep up with a faster guy - this is the primary reason guys go down in my experience.

there's already 30+ sport bikes up for this... It'll have to be a calmn pace but still fun for a season opener.

Let me know if anyone is up for this... Gotta keep track of the head count... bottom line, if you're not there at 1100 then you missed it.

yup pretty sure it's the Bernardsville exit...

There was a seperate thread talking about how big the group is getting (30+ riders) and how the experieced riders wanted to have a small "spirited" group and the rest will go in the tame group which will include some noobs.

I just wanna get out with the group for the first ride and take some good group pics. Provide traffic control, sweep, or whatever else to help. I also suggested that the ride shouldn't be split as it's the first group ride of the season and if a small group needs to they can always peel off after or go out on Sunday. Keep the group together...
