Title: My first group ride Post by: duqette on September 02, 2008, 09:12:17 AM Labor Day the bf and I planned an easy ride up to Pt. Reyes. Gorgeous weather, tons of cars :(, fabulous roads and scenery :). On the way I saw a yellow 748, so I waved (of course), and he pulled up next to me in the lane and introduced himself at a red light. How nice, I thought... as I zipped through traffic a little to catch up to my bf, and 748 tagged along....
Almost all the way! Along the way we also picked up a yellow Triumph Daytona, and since I usually lead when the bf and I are riding together, I found myself leading the group between the cars, along the shoulder (whatever it takes), through the twisties, and over the hills and through the woods to the beach! :o Timid little me, on my lil 750, leading the pack of big-ass sprotbiles.... [laugh] [laugh] My first group ride! I told my bf it was funny to think of me being the "leader of the pack," and he said, you're more like the den mother... [bang] [laugh] Title: Re: My first group ride Post by: Shortie on September 02, 2008, 12:38:28 PM Great little story D :)
I have yet to do a group ride, but I've only been riding for about a month so it's still a little early. I think I'd be fine in a small group of mild mannered folk at this point though. Title: Re: My first group ride Post by: NekkedChic on September 03, 2008, 06:39:23 AM KEWL!!! Tks for sharing!!
