Saturday the 13th. Map Rock Rd

scharf2u · 02-10-2010, 07:48 AM

Thinking about riding the Map Rock Rd. loop on Saturday. Meet at the Lake Shore Chevron on hwy 45 in Nampa at 1:30 pm. Thinking about riding it the opposite direction this time. Then ride out to Dan's Ferry Service for some gas station food and a soda.

I would go if I didn't have to work. I like to ride map rock then lake lowell roads. Have fun!

scharf2u · 02-11-2010, 05:55 AM

Looks like rain on Saturday. May have to take the wives out to a nice breakfast on Sunday then go ride.

e11charlie · 02-11-2010, 06:30 AM

What? All four stations are still saying partly cloudy high of 50.

scharf2u · 02-11-2010, 10:44 PM

Saturday should be good rain till around 10 am then partly cloudy. 48 degrees at 1pm should make for some good riding weather. Saturday it shall be!

e11charlie · 02-12-2010, 07:31 AM

Now I am seeing a high of 54.

cms1172 · 02-12-2010, 08:55 AM

I would love to go, but insurance doesn't kick in til march 1st and I will most likely be in utah

Mhinrichs · 02-12-2010, 09:49 AM

AAAHHHH I`d be all over this if I didn't have to work....and if I had a bike....
Count me out I guess.

e11charlie · 02-12-2010, 10:24 AM

Hell I would go today too if I wasn't so busy.

scharf2u · 02-12-2010, 12:15 PM

I looked outside, Dammit I have to work till 2100 hrs. Tomorrow is looking good though.

scharf2u · 02-13-2010, 11:03 AM

Anybody still up for a ride this afternoon?

Gem STate ST · 02-13-2010, 11:07 AM

Name it.

MissKaos · 02-13-2010, 11:38 AM

if you guys go - please post up a road report. I'm thinking of doing this tomorrow (Vday is lame - i'd rather RIDE!)

Also...can someone map this out for me? I've never done this loop.

Thanks!

Here's the road.

e11charlie · 02-13-2010, 11:49 AM

I am in. We still thinking 1330 or a little later?

scharf2u · 02-13-2010, 11:56 AM

That sounds about right.

e11charlie · 02-13-2010, 11:59 AM

So is it 1330 or a little bit later?

Gem STate ST · 02-13-2010, 12:03 PM

1330 sounds good as the weather isn't going to change much.

e11charlie · 02-13-2010, 12:06 PM

Can we do 1400 or does someone have something to do later? I just have to run to meridian to pick up an Ipod at a good price. Anyway text me if that aint going to work. 249-9367 I gotta run.

MissKaos · 02-13-2010, 02:13 PM

Thanks aci!

But...I'm confused. I understood this to be a loop? By the look of this map it's a straght shot following a river.

aci · 02-13-2010, 03:23 PM

I make it a sorta loop by riding the back side(south or southwest?) of lake lowell.

scharf2u · 02-13-2010, 03:37 PM

Dang it. I could have made it at 1400. When I left my place I realized it was already almost 1340 by the time I got to Lake Hazel and Cloverdale so, I went back home. Doh!

e11charlie · 02-13-2010, 03:54 PM

Well it wasnt that great. A little bit of water and just about every curve on map rock had gravel on it. But still fun to get out and about. Oh yeah Canyon county was working over time today too. One officer pulled over two people in less than 20 minutes right in front of the Chevron.

Gem STate ST · 02-13-2010, 04:44 PM

Nice ride today.Just got home as I doubled back to Ferry Rd. and down into Celebration Park.Map Rocks gravel is there year round and only one corner is pretty bad.Not as bad as the one on top of Nash Rd.Am ready for Sun.

STR8UP41908 · 02-13-2010, 09:23 PM

so anyone riding tomorrow or not?

loopy · 02-13-2010, 09:25 PM
