I agree with rotating them, as I think Twin Peaks sucks Cranberries, the under the freeway location and all.

True Noob, but it is also DEAD! 
I want to start a once a month tech session for the Austin area and try to rotate it around the area.

I would also like to schedule a once a month ride for breakfast on the weekends.  What do ya think?  I know many will not participate, but I also don't want to make it a race run either.  Casual ride out for breakfast or lunch or both.


Dude, I am in. My main issue is that I am a relatively new rider (less than 10k miles) and feel like I am holding the groups I usually ride with back because I don't like to ride 115 mph or drag my pegs. I just don't feel comfortable and won't do it, so I don't go. If it is just a casual ride, I am in. Maybe some day I will stand up in the seat, ride 400mph, and ride the Sisters in under 15 minutes... but right now, I know that I can't, so I don't want to hold back the people who like that and have the skills to do it. People can make fun if they like, I really don't care. I know I will live to ride another day...

We generally have several riders in our group rides that do not like to ride that fast. We always let them ride their own pace in the back. If they come to an intersection and nobody is there that means we went straight. If we are turning, we wait for the last bike before we turn. This way everyone rides the way they like.  :c

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you enjoy your ride.  :thumbup: Riding fast does make my pee - pee twitch but in a scary way, when my pee pee twitches I want to like it.  ;D ;D ;D :thumbup: :thumbup:

sgtstever...that would be cool, it's a different day isn't it.  I used to go when I lived in Belton, of course that was when it was at the old Tia's, Ultimate sports bar, etc.  It's held at Boston's now, correct!   :bikerider:   :c
