RIDE
NOTICE
Since the loss of our Ride coordinator, Warren Birmingham,
our regular ride program has been put on hold until we find
another ride leader.
We will still have occasional rides, but they will be listed
on our Calendar page because of the short planning horizon.
If you are interested in taking on the role of ride
coordinator for us, please send me an email at the address listed
on the Home page.
Thanks,
Roger...

 Monthly Ride Information |
|
Rides are
scheduled the 2nd Sunday of each month and are not
sponsored, but Warren Birmingham, K6PHW,
coordinates ride selection and
scheduling. Ride format and routes are
provided for convenience, but attendance and ride
responsibilities are at your own risk. While
we make an attempt to ride together and provide
camaraderie, you are welcome to show up anywhere
along the route, or at the destination.
If you plan
on joining us on a ride, consider the following:
| Everyone is welcomed
to attend. |
| Arrive with a full
tank of gas. |
| Rides depart promptly
at the scheduled departure time. |
| A relaxed touring
pace is used and observation of all
traffic laws are strongly encouraged. |
| Many of us have ham
radios installed on our motorcycles and
will listen to the 147.240 MHz Repeater (+
0.600 MHz offset, no PL). Once
underway, we often transition to a simplex
frequency for bike to bike
communications.
Our typical bike-to-bike simplex frequency is
144.370 PL=100. However, when we are
trying to also listen in on a repeater to
help others meet up with us, we may use
446.500 MHz to leave the 2-meter side
of the radio on the coordinating repeater. If you want
to communicate with us outside of
simplex range so
we can merge en route, please let us know the
frequency information you think would help us
hear you
where we might meet. |
