Saturday Morning Ride 7 August Mega Ride

DB Cooper · 08-06-2010, 04:58 PM

Mega Ride:

Meet at Beacon Light Chevron at 0800 and KSU at 0830 sharp.

Ride North on the 55 to Warm Lake road just North of Cascade. Ride the road back to Warm Lake Lodge. Trust me on this, the road is worth the ride up there, I flogged my car on it last week on a recon mission. This road is in fantastic condition and is very smooth with lots of twisty turns. Make a pass or two on this road and head back to Cascade to eat lunch at a Subway to eat, refuel the bikes and head back down the 55. At the banks intersection turn left and head down to GV and then on over to Lowman to go over the mountain to Idaho City.

Stops will be at the following:

Cougar Lodge
Cascade for fuel
Warm Lake Lodge
Cascade/Subway/Gas Station
Garden Valley Chevron
Idaho City

This will be a good ride, see you at 0800 at the Beacon Light Chevron on the 55.

I'm in on this, but I will have to peel off at Round Valley to join the wife who is up there for the Pink Flamingo Equestrian Endurance ride (a good excuse for horse owners to get together and drink beer)

Cudacharger · 08-06-2010, 06:16 PM

If the theduckllr is going I'm all in!

theduckllr · 08-06-2010, 06:26 PM

I'll be sure to wear something sexy....

scharf2u · 08-06-2010, 06:31 PM

I'm up for this one.

Bluesrider1 · 08-06-2010, 06:55 PM

Yeah, the Warm Lake Road is awesome. It was built to handle logging truck traffic...wide pavement and on camber turns. Watch for increased traffic due to the Harmonica Festival in Yellow Pine if the washouts have been fixed on the road to there.
If you going to make it to Warm Lake, then you gotta continue on and climb the hill to Landmark Summit. It's a steep paved road, usually in pretty good shape, and the views back towards Warm Lake are beyond scenic.

p.s. personally, I have always found the vibe at the North Shore Lodge to be a little more mellow and makes it worth stopping there.

Gem STate ST · 08-06-2010, 07:15 PM

Am in and K-bom says he is going also.

Exactly what I had in mind. LOL!

STR8UP41908 · 08-06-2010, 10:36 PM

damn, wish i could make this one, but stuck out on the road all weekend

Linker33 · 08-06-2010, 10:42 PM

Boise - Cascade - 65mi 8:30-9:30
Cascade - Warm Lake Rd. - 25mi 9:30 - 10:00
Warm lake Rd - Cascade - 25mi 11:00 - 11:30
Cascade - GV - 45mi 11:30 - 12:30

Attempting to account for stops (not doing the speed limit ect... ).......

Thinking I will head up through IC -> Lowman and meet up with you guys at GV to head back the same way.

Just not gonna make the 8am roll call...

Figure you guys should be rolling through there around noon'ish- 1ish

cms1172 · 08-07-2010, 12:00 AM

Sounds awesome. Gotta pass on this one. Stuck out of state. Weather in dallas screwed my whole weekend up.

Clarkebar · 08-07-2010, 02:06 AM

Too bad... I'll be changing the front suspention on my stang tomorrow. Bawlz.

Is it holding your bike hostage until its done? haha

tc305 · 08-07-2010, 12:53 PM

saw u guys how was the ride? did you happen to see the bike cops?

Gem STate ST · 08-07-2010, 04:45 PM

Warm Lake road was fine.55 sucked coming back as the motorhomes pulling trailers doing 45mph don't know what the slow vehicle pullout is for.Not just 4 or 5 cars stacked up but 15-20.

KBOM · 08-07-2010, 04:57 PM

Had a nice ride. Good pace for the amount of folks we had. Only saw a couple of popo on the way up, and same coming back. I got a little flash warning just south of Cascade when I was trying to catch the front group. A white Suburban or truck with no light bar

He had lights in the front grill. (Thank you for the warning sir)

I was dissapointed no one wanted to do the loop. But after reading about the moto cops between Lowman and ID City I'm glad we didn't do it. I don't need that kind of attention!

Linker33 · 08-07-2010, 05:19 PM

Passed you guys coming back from Cascade. Flipped around and went to GV, but figured you headed back through HSB.

scharf2u · 08-07-2010, 05:29 PM

Was a nice ride today. Warm Lake road was a friggin' hoot!

DB Cooper · 08-07-2010, 06:01 PM

Good ride indeed, looks like not doing the loop was the better choice. What ever came about with our Houdini? Where did he go to?

theduckllr · 08-08-2010, 12:58 AM

He showed up with KBom and Michael just as you guys pulled out from Subway... safe and sound. He went to the lodge, which really means that he was the only person that wasn't lost. Since it was your ride and your intinerary, I blame you.

Scene of the crime today:

Linker33 · 08-08-2010, 03:23 AM

I rode through to GV and back both ways. No problems here......

Cudacharger · 08-08-2010, 10:37 AM

Super fun ride! (Kudos to DB Cooper for doing the recon mission first) Made it home in time for the wife engagement...Thanks to Gem STate ST for clueing me in on the mileage and timeframe. Met some really cool people with some killer bikes.

Thanks for posting the pic duckller.....I'm sore today from the short stint on ur rocket ship...awesome machine!

Sore? Riding with an erection chafe you, or what?

That was a blast. Did you find that Cragslist ad yet?

No luck....Boise local or Africa listing.....

scharf2u · 08-08-2010, 10:31 PM

Damn it. Went for a short ride with my wife this afternoon. Got to looking at my back tire and noticed that the tread is trashed. Maybe pushed those tired buns a little too hard yesterday. Got some new Roadsmarts on order. Hopefully, I'll have them installed by next weekend.

I think it is listed under "Casual Encounters"

There is another SC on there now, but the guy is asking 9k. The other ad must have dropped off. Keep your eyes peeled. Also, there are a bunch on Ducati.ms already kitted out.

Leave Don alone as I saw him checking out the Tuono classifieds on the AF1 forum.Headed in the right direction.

theduckllr · 08-09-2010, 06:37 PM

That makes no sense. He already has a bike similar to a Tuano. You heard him. Retro Duc gave him a boner. LOL!

Cudacharger · 08-09-2010, 07:30 PM

This is going to be interesting......

To many good bikes out there to choose from.
