There has been a lot of buzz on the Blue VS Grey rally coming up in June. Its definitely something to get excited about. Registration is now open you can get your rally packs and extra raffle tickets here.

We had an awesome ride on Saturday, my bike had some trouble and no longer has a killswitch because of it but after getting that sorted Brady and I linked back up with group. I got some footage with the gopro if you havent seen it already scope it over at youtube.

I hope to see yall tonight, til then ride safe!

Ed also has a ride to centennial park leaving at ten that will wrap up at Antique Archaeology in time for the Rust Run ride.

Ed’s ride.

It will be chilly tomorrow. Dress warm. We will be stopping for lunch at a Chinese Buffet in honor of the Chinese new year.

The weather looks like it will co-operate with us, but will be a little chilly, make sure you dress for it.

Hope to see y’all!

Usual time from 7-9 and maybe later. Come say hi.

Also remember the Blue vs. Grey rally is shaping up rather nicely. Check it out the available details over here.

Meet at Thorntons, 7102 Charlotte Ave, 37209 any time before the ride starts at 11 a.m. I should be there by 10:30, and at 11:00, I will go over some of the hand signals and whatnot for anyone who has not ridden with us in the past. As soon as my spiel is over, we ride, so don’t dawdle!

After the ride, @scootervic is planning a 50cc-friendly ride through Percy Warner Park, which is also a challenging ride (don’t let the low speeds fool ya).

Hope to see ya!

Norm had a lot of good reasons to give this place a shot, and I think it’s a great idea.

Weather may be a bit rough, but either way come hang out, you never know what we will be talking about!

Tonight we will actually e discussing our new meeting spot. We will have a poll to vote on this week. Also if you have questions about the new board initiative or anything else I’ll be on hand to discuss.

I’ll see y’all from 7-9.

I’m also hard at work integrating a photo gallery for our events, and working on some initiatives to drum up more participation on the boards over here. The winter inevitably brings a slow down, but we gotta keep this going folks!

Our next Rust Run will be January 28th. It’s a Saturday like usual so make sure y’all get ready for ride of some sort. I’ll be posting some more details as we get closer to that day.

I’m also waiting on more responses for our board initiative. It won’t be a ton of work, but will be really rewarding. Shoot me an e-mail to board@scootnashville.com if you are interested at all! I’d like to have interested folks respond by 2/1/2012.

So, anyway… a few of us have already talked about a New Year’s Eve ride, since the weather’s going to be really nice this weekend. This one is an advanced ride, with lots of curves and hills, and speeds exceeding 50mph, so please, 125cc+ bikes, only. Here’s the plan:

Meet up at Thorntons (7102 Charlotte Pike, 37209) anytime after noon on Saturday, and be ready to roll out at 1:00 p.m., sharp. There’s 90 minutes of riding, and with three stops, add about 45 minutes. My goal is to get everyone home before dark, so we’re rolling at 1:00!  I will get to Thorntons around 12:30, to go over some stuff and hang out to chat.

If you click the image above, it will take you to Google Maps, outlining the route and the stops. If  you’re concerned about whether your riding chops are up to it — and believe me, I think everyone I’ve ridden with before can handle this one! — you can check out video clips I’ve taken of some of the more challenging parts (1, 2, 3) to get an idea of how this ride goes. There are numerous gravel driveways emptying onto the route, so watching for loose gravel and sticks, etc., is a must. That said, this ride’s a blast, and I’ll be signalling for road hazards and not ripping around curves at daredevil speeds. We’ll also pull off if anyone falls behind, so ride your ride, and don’t worry about keeping up.

If you have questions, shoot me a message here; everything else will be covered at Thorntons around 12:30, Saturday. Hope to see you there!

UPDATE: @aries is asking if folks might want to also/alternately do a shorter, in-town ride on 12/31 — so please check out her comments and provide your input!  Nothing wrong with having two rides on the same day!
