RAA 9--"GETTIN HIGH" PRE-RIDE June 22, 23 2014

[Ogremeister]

Ogre,
................. I agree that Friday - Saturday likely would be the best for us coming from the west that wish to do Pikes and Evans......................

Steve, I was trying to make sure that everyone knew the Pikes Peak Hillclimb is Sunday June 29th!

............................ I hope you all plan to arrive in time Monday evening for the BBQ. ...........................

We have 277 miles planned for Monday, approx. 6 hr 20 min riding time. I hope to get started at 8am but even with a 9 am start and stops we should roll in by 5 or 6 at the very latest (I am hoping more like 4 but some people want to take pics...:evil smirk

What time is BBQ???

The BBQ shall be whenever you guys arrive!
I appreciated the Hillclimb dope, Amigo. That's why I changed the days - thanks for that.
Keep us posted re: your Monday arrival time. 253-970-9398 is my bro, Dan, who has cell in his helmet. I be at 253-566-9170. Not on always, but frequently checked when on a ride.

Amigo, Thanks for your #. I forgot to mention that because of this ride, I have ordered a Sena for my new helmet so I can use a cell and hear a GPS while riding.
Do NOT tell my wife! So far my Spot keeps her happy. Having never wanted music or cell while riding, I do NOT want to abuse this and likely will not use the Sena after this event - unless, of course, I fall in love with it!

I rarely listen to music on m/c...it is fun to get a call...which connects hands free.
I never use the sound on my GPS on m/c but I do in a car...I love (via earbuds) listening to music when hiking & x/c skiing (solo)...with the earphones in, the phone will also answer hands free...so i end up taking calls when i'm mostly out if breath...at times....gotta love technology.
