Chris: Thanks for organzing the ride. Weather was perfect. It was nice to see new and familiar faces at Beth's TB cafe on Saturday. PK has an awesome new...
Tim: You did the right thing to relax and ride your own pace and decide that you riding day ended when it did. We kept you ahead of us on purpose; to ensure...
No bad shepherds here. You got us all together, a lot of us won't take the time to organize and lead a ride. Some of us can't (to pokey, as in...me) That Min....

Ed- Not sure I liked the test. I do appreciate the effort though. I failed to keep and maintian my pace, and I began to chase. I don't like loosing grip and...
Tim, Why are you beating yourself up over this? You will not enjoy a passion of motorcycles if you start looking at this as "failing tests." There are good ...
Rod, What do you mean by XX going to be a good sport bike road? I thought it already was. Allon Hi to all, Just had a great day riding and I wanted to mention...
AH! But now it has fresh blacktop! A smoother surface,(almost completed)and asphalt berms on the uphill sides instead of gravel shoulders.(should mean less...
Chris, One of the reasons I stopped riding on the MN sportbike group is because there is no order. It doesn't mean that with a little order you can't have fun....
Kathy, It's good to hear that you are back riding. I admire your courage. I actually enjoyed the day mountain biking. It doesn't always has to be motorized and...
Allon, I'm not sure what you mean by "there is no order." Having rides posted in GPS and route sheet format ahead of time is alot more organized than most...
Allon: Point well taken. In future "local" rides, perhaps the organizer of the ride should break up the collective into organized bundles of like-minded...
I am dwelling on the bad... And I am very hard on myself true. You up front very much appreciated, and respected. Though if I (alone) were as sensible and...
Generally speaking, we have always been very good with slow riders. There have been riders in the past where we have had to wait minutes for them to catch up...
Your right Allon, MN Sportbike rides don't have rules per se. A ride organizer can run a ride any way they see fit, using whatever rules they want to or don't...
Thanks Allon. Got back about an hour ago ... hotter today than yesterday. Didn't clock as many miles, but it was still good. I see your name is listed on the...
I remember a couple of years back you showed up on one of Tony's rides and spoke of some of these rules. Of course, that was the last MN-Sportbike ride I've...
I personally would hate to see "rules" become instituted for the rides. As Ray mentions, most of us know each other well enough to know who rides what way....

Well, I finally made it out to Ely. As expected, highway 1 is getting redone. On the first run the road was closed, so we did a 23 mile gravel detour - starts...
Now I'm feeling a bit like a schmuck.. I really didn't think my pace was all that fast.. maybe 70 in the straights, and I'd say that for the day I probably...
While I can see this happening if MN sportbike rides happened as frequently as they used to, but it sounds like they don't. I haven't rode with this group for...
Tim- you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You're overanalyzing this. Have the attitude that those racing in front of you are the ones over their heads, and...
Not in my opinion and I think we need to keep some perspective here before people who were not there start making some assumptions. This ride wasn't any...

It was not fast; we pace rode very well. I wicked up a little once on CR-SS as it is my favourite road in that area and I know it well. All the narcissistic...
