Noobie Ride 31 - 6/26

[Dane]

Join us for our monthly 'meet and greet' style ride. This ride is a special invitation to all the newly registered members (Noobies) and current members to come out and meet other OC MOTO members at a nice cruise and lunch event. If you're a new motorcycle rider please PM me if you have questions about riding in groups.

We will start at the Tustin Marketplace and head down Santiago Canyon -> Live Oak -> Crown Valley -> Smokey's BBQ (Dana Point).

WHERE: Tustin Market Place (in front of Sports Authority) Map
DATE: Sunday 6/26
WHEN: 10:00am (kick stands up 10:30 sharp)
RIDE PACE: Easy
CHATTERBOX: Ch 12 group 00


WARNING: Although it is a 'Noobie' ride, it implies you know how to operate your motorcycle (i.e., you're able to operate the bike well in large groups). It also implies you can ride responsibly with a large group, i.e. no wheelies, showing off, etc.


Things to remember for this ride:

• This will be a slow, relaxed, and safe ride.
• The goal is to stay together as a group as much as possible
• No stunting of any kind will be tolerated
• No lane splitting (this is so the group can stay together)
• Staggered riding on PCH/Santiago/Surface Roads, single file in Live Oak
• Safe Riding is key, please keep a safe distance from the motorcycle in front of you. (Diagram)
• Pack in tight at stops and red lights.
• Do not pass the leaders or sweepers. Stay in formation.
• If you fall behind due to lights or any other issues, don't worry, there will be sweepers throughout the group.
• If a rider pulls off the side of the road, crashes, etc. DO NOT pull over with them. Let the sweepers take care of it.
• Do not rev your engines, trust me, in a group this large, everyone can see you. No need to rev engines. We get notices from the Police Departments.
• Come to the meet point FUELED UP. There is a Shell station up Jamboree, however, we won't be making any stops once we depart. Ride length is just over 40 miles.
• Please have all your paperwork in order. M1 or permit, motorcycle insurance.
• We will be using some basic hand signals during the ride, here are some universal hand signals to review if you are not familiar:

Does this go down every month? Seems like it gets skipped every so often, I haven't been a member very long, but looking at the previous noobie rides, it looks like this is supposed to be a monthly event? Hopefully I'll be in walking condition and my bike and bones will be mended by this point. If not, catch you on the next one!

Chad: From Spring through Fall, it's pretty much every month.
