If you look over in the “shout it” section on the left you will see Nitros Mike asking the question “Why don’t we ever see any of you guys at the Bay Area C n S Rides”
Some of us might be at some of the runs but we don’t ride together out of our area more than once a year or so… (Sierra Foothills between Sacramento and Tahoe - Nevada City down to about Sonora.) …and the other reason I can come up with is our UN-Official name for ourselves, The Fugarewe’s taken from the tribe of the same name.
You know: Chief wakes up (or in our case the first one up) goes outside the TeePee (in our case a tent, sleeping bag, or old newspaper) looks around the horizon with his hand covering his eyes and says, “Where the Fug Are WE!!!!”
Usually, since we don’t drink or use anymore, someone will have a vague idea where we are, but that is not always the case. Sometimes two or three of us will know where we are but never do all three of us think it’s the same place. Sooooo we get ready and head out in the direction the first bike leaving takes and we all stop at the first place we can find with hot coffee and we ask someone in the real world … “Excuse me… but can you tell us wherethefugweare?
John, from "Lone Wolves" e-mailed me about a ride a few of the Grass Valley folks were going on and invited me along. Said to bring some friends. I emailed my list of Placerville riders and got 4 takers. Pat, Sharon, Billy J. and Doug. Very nice ride. Great lunch. Good company. Here are a few photos.
Lots of changes this year. Read the flyer for details but basically the camping location in Cedaredge has changed, there will be a new location (The Rodeo Grounds) and everyone will have to stay cool and calm as we all get used to the changes (Tough to ask of a drunk, ESPECIALLY a sober one!!) The dates for this years event will be July 31st 2008 to August 3rd 2008.
More info as it comes in.
