Ride Report - CSBA Bux-Mont Rattlesnake Ride September 4, 2021

june1 intro

We give thanks to God for His wisdom and His Blessings….

On Saturday September 4th we had a ride. That morning started out cool with temperatures in the 50's. Most people started out with hoodies over their gear or liners in their jackets. We ate breakfast at 8am and came out to warmer temperatures and 15 riders waiting for us in the lot, ready to ride. We had our riders meeting at 9am and left at 9:10am. We saw a rider heading to the diner near the Wawa and tried to get her attention but she headed out away from us anyway. The ride went well with many old roads and some new. We had two crashes both minor with some light bike damage but no injuries and both bikes were rideable. As a reminder we wear gear on our rides, please don't show up only wearing a vest, or a hoodie, or sneakers I will send you home. The rules for the ride are on our site. Although we did see some storm damage and some washouts, most of the ride was clean. We had two detours due to road closure and we had to change our lunch stop due to storm damage. Speaking of storm damage we did see some amazing stuff due to Hurricane Ida. I wanted to thank all that came out and those that helped out others and helped with the ride.

Ride Report - CSBA Pocono Screamer Ride June 5, 2021

june1 intro

We give thanks to God for His wisdom and His Blessings….

The day was hot [94°], but the pace in Group One was even HOTTER! At least for the morning…. (more on that later)

The ideal conditions prevailed this Saturday: riders wanting and ready to get out and really enjoy the day, great turn out of 27 seasoned riders, and lastly the desire to enjoy the roads at pace. As we always proclaim, “All Bikes – All Beliefs” and today proved to be just that.

I had the privilege of cruising up to the rally point (Starlight Diner) with Bob G; we arrived by 7:50a and were greeted by Charlie N and Dave; a new friend invited out by B. Torri. Dave was running a Yamaha Star Cruiser bike, but was ready to get in some back roads with us, and we were glad to have him. Soon, more of the usual suspects (Allan C, Cory E, Greg K, Chris P, Jojo G, B Torri, Brendan and Jackie, & Youri M) started to show up, until all ride leaders (Mark H, Rick J, Rusty and myself) were all there. Some went in the diner to enjoy a little breakfast, while I stayed outside to continue greeting folks as they arrived – and did they arrive. We had some folks come out that we haven’t seen in a few years (Rudy along with some new faces (Lefteris & Harsha) along with the “Top Gun Jet Fighter Crew” which represents: (Jason V, Justin H, Corbin R & Samuel P), which of course ran in Group 1 with me, along with a new friend (Lefteris) on a brand new 2021 S1000RR, and Rudy B on his lovely Ducati as my sweeper.

Coming up right behind me was Rick J and his team and then Mark H, which later collapsed into Rick’s group, followed by Rusty. I know we had some others in the ranks including some new friends from RIP representing. I gave the ride meeting and set the agenda for the day, but I I failed to snap a group picture, but Bob did the bike count and confirmed we had 27 riders in attendance. I apologize up front if I missed anyone in the attendance line-up – but we thank you all for coming out and enjoying the roads with us this day.
