TyTass Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm in, provided it isn't raining. When and where would you like to meet? Same here ... cold rain isn't my kind of weather, either. Let's hold on a while about where/when to meet down here until we find out if any more want to meet up. Sound good? BTW: What part of town are you located? Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'd meet you slackers. Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'd meet you slackers. I know he's not talking to us, right Scott? Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm in the Western Branch area of Chesapeake, 664 off of Portsmouth Blvd. I think he may be referring to us! Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Chris lives just a mile or two from you, so starting from over that way would certainly make it easy for you guys. Let's face it, there's really no better way to start around here. One starting place is as bad as another. Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm off pughsville rd from 664 Link to comment
KTsRidin Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 11am at F'burg Sugar Shack on Saturday, November 21 = copy I can feel the sugar and coffee shakes already!!! Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I just got finished with a sleep study at Sentara Princess Anne Hosp, just down the street from my house. After that ridiculous cluster f*ck of a night, I felt well justified in stopping by Duck Donuts across the street from the hospital on the way home. I made the coffee when I got home, but the lemon, choc/peanut butter, vanilla w/cinnamon sugar, & maple bacon donuts won't all make it until Terri wakes up! Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 When and where do we want to meet tomorrow for the ride up? Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 How about 0800 at the shell on corner of pughsville/Taylor Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Sounds good to me too! Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well alrighty then. Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) A nice gathering! Glad so many showed up. It was great to see you all. Really appreciate the sneak attack by Mark with his new, bada$$ GS! Edited November 21, 2015 by TyTass Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Good to see all. In fresh underwear now after that front wheel washout. On third doughnut. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nice weather, good riding, great company! Looking forward to the next one. Link to comment
marcopolo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 ...Really appreciate the sneak attack by Mark with his new, bada$$ GS! Nice, sunny day too. I enjoyed it. Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 someone else has crossed over to the dark side. Link to comment
Endobob Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 someone else has crossed over to the dark side. Chris - don't you mean the "mud" side. Link to comment
KTsRidin Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Sorry James missed it, but getting to hang out with the dogs (and a few riders too) was rather nice. Cheers all - when and where next?! Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Not that I'm running this thing, but as a suggestion, how about: 19 December @ 11:00 am Crossroads Coffee & Ice Cream 3600 Forest Hill Ave, Richmond, VA 23225 They seem to have a decent menu. The coffee/tea/cocoa will be extra special if its really cold out. I know it's pretty much in the midst of holiday shopping and prepping, but why not allow nice brisk ride to meet up with friends we might not otherwise see; a break from the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations to enjoy the spirit of the season (as well as the weather)?

KTsRidin Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 19 December @ 11:00 am Crossroads Coffee & Ice Cream 3600 Forest Hill Ave, Richmond, VA 23225 Putting it on the calendar. We've got cannon firing demonstrations teeing up for the 19th, so I may not make it, but I'll give it a go. If we had a decent coffeehouse in the area I'd suggest Fort Monroe so folks could also enjoy the demos, but alas, that is why I must ride!!! Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I could do that. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 On the radar... Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Think I am going to pass on this one. Forecast is for a low of 32 and a high of 49. Link to comment
TyTass Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Gonna pass as well, due to schoolwork. Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well, there's always January ... Link to comment
TyTass Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Well, there's always January ... And it's flyin by already. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Wait, hold on -- I thought I heard the BeullerPhone ringing here in the BatCave... I see the forecast for tomorrow (Saturday, January 16, 2016) calls for partly cloudy, a high of 49 (!), and zero chance of precip here in beautiful Alexandria. And we have a Sugar Shack of our very own now, which is conveniently located right next door to an excellent cafe known as the Lost Dog. If you Chesapeakers would care to amble up this way, I might could share with you a secret stash ride or two, provided that we don't start at some ungodly hour of the morning. What say you, lads? Donuts to start, sammies when we get back? A nice humane 10:30 a.m. start time? I'll turn up there then, but only if I get at least one solid subscriber. Sugar Shack Donuts 804 N Henry St, Alexandria, VA 22314 Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yes, and a very happy birthday to our favorite organizer while I'm at it. Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Other plans tomorrow. Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sorry for the last-minute nature of this ride; still hoping to reel someone(s) in, though, as the temps are set to drop again starting tomorrow. Can adjust start time if it helps any. Link to comment
TyTass Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sorry ... I wasn't actually suggesting today ... but I do wish I could join you today, Will. But alas ... still busy. Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 No worries, Craig. Hope you get less busy in the near soon. School should be winding down soon, though eh? Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I was flying home from Mexico yesterday. Wet and white out there today. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Wish I would have seen this sooner. I rode up to the Michaux yesterday. Very fun ride through the mountain. Link to comment
TyTass Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Wish I would have seen this sooner. I rode up to the Michaux yesterday. Very fun ride through the mountain. What and where is this Michaux you speak of, Mike. Are you talking about the State Forest in PA? Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Craig, I'm pretty sure you are correct. Most of the SMIB's just call it the Michaux for short. The funny thing is, that's where I was riding when I took the picture that is my current avatar! And yes, that is gravel under the RT's tires. Link to comment
TyTass Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks. In looking it up I realized I do know the place, but I haven't been to that specific area in a very long time, certainly not on a bike since getting back into riding 10 yrs ago. In fact, other than driving along Rt 30 and visiting CW battlefields/routes, I haven't been in that forest since taking my Yamaha 550 up through there several decades ago. I've done a bit of hiking in that area even further back. BTW: I'm not in the least surprised there's gravel under your wheels. Gravel should in no way stop an RT, unless you're one of those who doesn't like to get their bike a little dirty. IMO new places to go and/or sights to see are the best motivator for riding ... not showing off a pristine bike finish. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Craig, you are correct. The Michaux State Forest in PA. Link to comment
TyTass Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks. Great Pics. BTW: Check out this thread (CLICK HERE). Would be cool to see you there. Link to comment
TyTass Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Anyone up for a coffee meet-up on Sat 3/16? Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Craig, I'm guessing you were looking at April, where the 16th does fall on a Saturday. In March, the 19th is the closest possibility. (I know, I just can't help it...) Link to comment

Blind Squirrel Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Where you thinking of going Craig? Link to comment
TyTass Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Well, I may not be able to make it (depends on being able to rescheduling a prior commitment), so I don't want to make the call. However, the Sugar Shack didn't suck. Link to comment

(I know, I just can't help it...) Yes, I meant Sat 3/19. just a typo, thanks. Whew! For a moment there I thought we had to convert dates to metric Have fun at the coffee clatch if you make it. Our sugar bush is running full tilt and the bike shed is still behind a wall of snow. Link to comment

However, the Sugar Shack didn't suck. Well, then let me throw this one out there: Duck Donuts 4655 Monticello Ave, Williamsburg, VA 23188 It could be a ferry ride for those of us South of Williamsburg. Link to comment
TyTass Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Great suggestion ... I'm still trying to reschedule my until-recently-forgotten commitment for next Saturday. Hope I can make it. Link to comment
