San Diego group ride today

Post by Duggle »

So, I went on a ride with the San Diego Scooter Squadron today, which is a meetup.com group. There were 20 riders on a variety of scooters. Makes present were Honda, Vespa, Yamaha, Suzuki, Piaggio, Genuine, Aprilia, Kymco and I think a generic Chinese 150.

It was supposed to be a 100 mile ride around a lot of winding highway along the coast and inland. It ended up starting to rain up in Del Mar (I know, San Diego, right?) and we ended up cancelling a little after so it was only about a 30 mile ride. The majority rode back to the start (myself included) and a few carried on in the rain. I think that this ride is going to be redone as the first Saturday ride of next month so I'll retry it then. I really like the route of this ride around a lot of lagoons, harmony grove, elfin forest and lake hodges and the dam.

From the amount of time that I was on the ride it was a lot of fun, and I met a lot of cool people. My first experience with group riding, the hand signals, riding in staggered and single file as road permitted and all that. I definitely recommend finding some people in your area to ride with and try this.

I'm in the red jacket, there was another couple two-up on a black pcx in the front row of this pic.

Fun!! Very Cool Duggle! You found a group to roll with! Maybe 30 miles first round was meant to be, it gave you a "get to know what you're doing run." Next month you'll enjoy it more because of this experience. I never rode with a group. I've heard it's fun and read the same but I've also read that things can turn on a dime so just be mindful/aware. "One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch." But that's true even in a bar with feets on the ground (umm..well maybe not both feet on the ground) :roll: I take that back! :lol:
Glad for you, and smidgen jealous too ;)
