Good to have some new people tonight. Hope to see you again. Next week let's try to ride out around 6:45 so we can put a few epic miles in before the cold, dark night of October sets in. |

| Pit Crew Joined: Mar 2008 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: because walking feels so awkward. | I'll be out of town this Thursday. I hate to miss one when we don't have many left in the season. Do a good ride and tell me about it next week. I'm planing a 3-day ride into Eastern Oregon this weekend. I think I'll take the Strada this time. I'll tell you about that next week. Ciao |

| Training Wheels Joined: May 2006 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: 03 CBR 600RR, 97 XR250R | So I have a proposal for our Thursday night meets. Since it's starting to get dark earlier and earlier every week, what would you all say to meeting up and riding first and then eating when we get back? |
|

| Zone Head Joined: Jan 2009 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: Buell XB12R | Sounds much better to me! But that means people showing up on time, the eating gave the late commers time to show. |

| Pit Crew Joined: Mar 2008 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: because walking feels so awkward. | Interesting idea. It would work best if we had a set time to ride out but using random ride times and destinations has its distinct advantages. I'd hate to leave people out who can't make it early. We could encourage people to show up earlier or skip eating so we can ride. What say the rest of the troops? |

| Training Wheels Joined: May 2006 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: 03 CBR 600RR, 97 XR250R | Yeah, I know, but with it getting dark by 7:30, it isn't leaving much time to ride as it is. I say we meet @ 6, and get out of there by 6:15 ish..and eat when we get back. |

On a bike for a change! ![]() |

| Zone Head ![]() Joined: Jun 2008 From: Wenatchee I Ride: '98 VTR1000F SuperKawk, '88 Magna | I am all for Brett's idea- especially as we get later in the season like now... I'll try to be there at 6:00 and see what happens... either way it's good for me- as long as I can keep scaring Rippn, all is right in the world. I was more scared of getting a thumbs up ![]() Do you want peanuts on that? ![]() |

| Zone Head ![]() Joined: Jun 2008 From: Wenatchee I Ride: '98 VTR1000F SuperKawk, '88 Magna | ^^ Thanks for riding with us Guy... Usually we group up a little better than that on our return before parting ways, but it was getting pretty dark- I actually went back to Dusty's to have a burger... By myself. ![]() My favorite part was cresting Badger Mountain and taking in that COPPER sky. Did anybody else notice that? (maybe everything I see is copper in my world these days). ![]() |

I'll be scuba diving in the Caribbean for a week.) By the time I return on October 22, I expect it may be too cold and dark for anything but bench racing. Anybody got any ideas for how we can get through the interminable gray winter? ![]() |

My plans for the winter are: 1. Stay warm 2. Get fat 3. Play Trials HD and MotoGP on my Xbox till I can ride again | |

| Pit Crew Joined: Mar 2008 From: Wenatchee, WA I Ride: because walking feels so awkward. | I rode to Plain today too. It was awesome! Might be my last ride for a while. Back later in the month. A lot of bike nights are just a gathering at a place for dinner. I think we've enjoyed the riding a lot more than the eating and talking. That's why we have bikes. But now the season is coming to an end for evening rides. We can start it up again in March. Still, I'm wondering if we would have much interest in getting together periodically during the off-season just to keep the flame lit. Most of us will continue to do day rides in the cold months. We don't want to let Rippin down. He holds us to a high standard. We could meet on a certain day of the month for a day-ride or a monthly night at Dusty's even if we have to drive the car in the snow to get there. Any thoughts? |

| Zone Head ![]() Joined: Jun 2008 From: Wenatchee I Ride: '98 VTR1000F SuperKawk, '88 Magna | ![]() What were you ridin'? I was there all weekend (Coppa SV) along with Jadagod23 and dobe23. Shoulda came over and said high! I must say I was a little disapointed we didn't have more locals support one of our main local events. I mean if they let me in, surely the rest of you should have no problem. It would have been fun to at least have a few of our Thursday night crowd there for some friendly competition. *pouting Vigilante ![]()
