We’ll meet up tomorrow to cover some of the ride safety basics, and to make sure everyone is fueled up, etc.

WHEN: 11:30 a.m., Sunday, 3/6
WHERE: Eastland Kroger parking lot, Gallatin Avenue (across from East Side Scooters)

As of 4:00 p.m. Saturday, I have not heard back from the parade organizer, so I did not have an opportunity to get more details about the parade route, and I do not know if we will have to pay to participate, so you might want to have a few dollars in your pocket,  just in case. Ross thought not, but a few bucks might come in handy in case you need to mooch some balloons from Tara and Tanya, at any rate. ;)

Going to be a bit chillier than we’d like, but so far, looks like the rain will stay away. Hope to see you there!

UPDATE to the Update, 9:00 p.m., Saturday, 3/5: The parade organizer called. NO FEE for being in the parade, says beads may be at a premium, as they’ve had outstanding interest in participants, so if you can bring something to fling, great! If not, no biggie. Still, after the parade, there will be beer and gumbo and other food available, so that few bucks might come in handy if you want to stay. If not, we might do a Percy Warner run, afterward.

Scootin’ Parade.

We’ve been invited to ride in a Mardi Gras Parade on Sunday, March 6th. The parade starts at 2pm, and the organizer would like us to be there at 1:15 to get all lined up. He will provide us with beads to throw, and if you want to throw other things – that’s welcome as well. Decorating your bike is perfectly okay also, and Dollar Tree has some good deals on beads and such.

To simplifiy things, we should meet up on the east side at about noon to roll on over as a group. Of course before we go a ride route will be presented and some new safety details will be discussed.

Since this will be through the city it is a 50CC friendly ride. I hope y’all can make it. Please spread the word as well to anyone else you know who scoots locally!

Meetup! Wednesday, 2/23/2011

Same scoot-time, same scoot-station!  7-9 p.m. at Cafe Coco.

That said, if you have some brilliant suggestions for a new venue for our semi-monthly meetings, please bring them to the table, ready to discuss.

We’ll also talk about our eventful Sunday ride, and what we can do to make sure future rides go smoothly and safely.

If you have it, wear your scootnashville.com gear, y’all!  Hope to see you there!

To BELL and BACK! Sunday 2/20 Ride, Y’all.

Join us for a Sunday ride to Montgomery Bell State Park. Meet at Bongo Java on Belmont between 11:00am and 11:30am. Fill up next door at the Circle K and be ready to ride at 12pm. The ride to Montgomery Bell State Park and back will likely take about 3.5 – 4 hours and should include some beautiful back road scootin’.

Here’s the proposed ride route. Let’s hope Jason’s GPS is working. ;)
