The 2012 Ride is restricted to riders who have
 been with us on at least 2 prior 50/50 Rides

The Fine Print - this is not a sanctioned ride in any way, shape or form. There are no ride masters or organizers. It is simply a number of riders all starting and ending in the same place. It is not a group ride. It is assumed that you are capable of riding your motorcycle in the prevailing conditions. The route is a suggested route only.   We have a place to start from and a place we end up; usually we have lunch together somewhere in between. We strongly discourage the consumption of alcohol before reaching the destination. We leave it to you to determine if it is safe for your skill level. If you're not comfortable with the route or the pace of other riders, slow down or take a different route. Don't worry, we all end up in the same place at the end of the day.

There are usually too many bikes to ride as a group. In fact, I strongly encourage everyone to ride their own ride. Either ride alone or with someone who suits you speed, skills, and style. This is not a race. We'll all end up at the same place at the end of the day. We also normally stop for a morning break and for lunch.
