What we’re about
This is a place for motorcycle riders of all skills to gather and share rides and our lives. No rules (well, not a lot of them), just a place to meet some new riders and make new friends. If you see a ride you like, show up. You don't have to be a member to ride with us, but once you ride you soon will be. This group is open to everyone, we all tossed our leg over the seat one day not really knowing how to do this, so we have rides that span the range from simple breakfast runs to all day and overnight excursions.
We sometimes have very large rides because of the number of members. We don't limit the number of riders on a ride -- we have been doing this longer than most groups and know how to create events that everyone can attend. We don't force people to ride in separate groups, but they are welcome to if they want to. And if you are nervous, talk to one of the organizers and I'm sure they can find ways to help you feel at ease. Whether you are in a group of 10 or 100, all a rider needs to pay attention to are the few bikes in front and behind them. That's really not that hard, you probably already do it!
We also don't have any restrictions on how often you have to ride. Whether you ride once a year or once a month, we just want to help you get out and ride. We won't judge you if you have more to do in life than ride. And if there isn't any ride you like, ask for one!

- Staggered formation
Unless the Road Caption directs us differently, we will be riding in a Staggered formation. The road caption rides on the left side of the lane. Then, the second rider should position themselves on the right side of the lane at least a few motorcycle lengths behind the leader (MSF recommends riders stay at least one second apart in the distance). New riders, please introduce yourselves to the road caption and plan on riding at the tail end of the 2-wheel group. Three-wheel Bikes Trail the New Riders.
We will stay within 5 to 10 MPH of the posted speed limit. If the group is separated, please do not exceed 10 miles per hour to catch up.- Cuts - this is a multiple-group ride - Feel free to wear your group Cuts.

Please be respectful if you are planning to join the Group Chat on the Cardo systems. You may think you are a Rock Star when singing along to your Playlist, but others might enjoy the Sounds of Silence.
