Ride Schedule for 2008
The club normally rides every second Sunday and every last Sunday of
the month.
Any changes to this schedule will be posted here and in the mass
mailing that goes out about a week before each ride.
The second Sunday is a RAT (Ride Around Town). We'll cruise around for
an hour or two and then stop for a snack or late lunch someplace.
The last Sunday will generally be more adventurous and can involve some highway
riding to get to a particular spot. The notice will mention if this will
happen. In that case you need to have a highway-legal scooter - in NV
this means 150cc or larger. Even then, we don't try to make
a habit of speeding down the freeways! Typical departure for the
long rides is 9:00AM from the same location.
All rides leave from the parking lot next to the Idlewild Pool on
Idlewild Drive.
This is also right next to the skate park for the skateboarders among
you! Times may vary for some rides (will be noted here and in the e-mail),
but normally we meet at 12:00 noon and are on our way by 12:15PM for
the RAT, and meet at 9:00AM for the longer rides.
June
June 8: RAT. Meet at noon, route TBD.
June 29: Quincy-Truckee-Mt Rose loop. Meet at 9:00AM.
July
July 11-13: Second Annual Royal Bastards Tahoe Rally, "Blazing Saddles".
See
Royal Bastards web site for all the details.
Lots of fun last year! This is right in our back yard,
so no excuses *not* to go! This will be our annual ride
around the Lake.
July 27: RAT. Meet at noon, route TBD.
August
August 10: RAT. Meet at noon, route TBD.
August 29-September 1: Doomtown III. Labor Day Weekend is
when our local Bomb Squad SC hosts its annual Doomtown Rally.
Doomtown III is 'on' for 2008, and that's the good news. The
bad news is that it's a 'vintage only' rally, or sort of.
Your ride has to be manual shift or at least 30 years old,
(which avoids the embarrasment of someone showing up on a 25-
year-old twist & go scoot like in 2007). Well, my 2006
Bajaj is manual shift ....
For more information if you have a 30 y.o. scoot or a Bajaj:
Doomtown III
August 31: Farm Country ride. Meet at 9:00AM. If you don't have a
manual-shift scooter, join us for a nice ride through
Carson City, Yerington, the farm country, and back to
Carson City. Ride to Virginia City, back down the truck route
or Mile-High canyon, east past Dayton and take the Weeks cutoff
to Yerington, ride the farm district roads, up the canyon to
Wellington and over the pass to highway 395, Gardnerville, Carson
City, and back home. Lunch in Gardnerville or Carson City on the
way back.
September
September 11: Scooter Cannonball 2008. Departure TBD. The route will
take the riders from San Francisco to Lee Vining. Ride out there to see
this! The Cannonball is supposed to be following highway 50, but not
really.
September 12: Scooter Cannonball 2008. Departure TBD. Route goes from
Lee Vining into Cedar City, UT. Ride along for part or all of this?
September 14: RAT. Meet at noon, route TBD.
September 28: Sierra Valley ride. Meet at 9:00AM to ride the
Sierra Valley loop through Graeagle.
October
October 12: RAT. Meet at noon, route TBD.
October 26: Fall Colors ride. Meet at 9:00AM, ride south.
through West Washoe Valley, Carson City, Genoa, Woodfords,
Hope Valley, then over Hwy 89 to Lake Tahoe. Lunch someplace
in Southshore, then return via Hwy 50 or Kingsbury Grade and East
Lake Blvd. Highway legal scooter needed. This may be the last
'official' ride of the season!
November
November 9: RAT. Meet at noon, route and stop TBD. Weather
is so far *predicted* to be decent this weekend, and the
Mammoth Mountain Dweebs agree so far. Might be cool, but
no rain or snow is forcast.
