Here you will find info
that will help you function in sync
with the rest of the club.
1. There will be 1 "Official" ride each weekend. These start points are for the Official Rides only. Members are free to set up/suggest rides in additon to the Official Rides.
(We would not want to set up a ride that conflicts with the Official Ride under normal circumstances.)
The Start Points for additional rides will be wherever the organizer determines.
2. All "Official"
rides will start at 8:00 AM or LATER to give all members ample time to make
the start point.
EXCEPTION: Long distance rides, say going to Cassoday, may start earlier. (Their
breakfast ride WILL NOT be considered an "Official" ride )
3. There will be 3 "Official" start point locations.
South Location : South start point is the Convienence store next to Paddy O' Quigleys just west of the intersection at 470 and Wood Chapel Road. Contact EZ Slick or Twig for info
East Location :Shell Station I-70 & 7 HWY Blue Springs, Mo. Exit 20 from I-70, go south 1 block-on the east side of 7 Highway next to Mc Donalds. Contact Home Inspector for info
North Location : Quick Trip N Oak Trafficway & 152 Hwy (if this ride is heading North the start point will be accross the street from the QT. If going South the start point will be at the QT. This arrangement eliminates the need to cross traffic when leaving. The details of the ride will state which start point we will be leaving from. Or wherever you see the bikes parked)North Map
4. "Official Ride" will ROTATE in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE manner. Example: South, East, North, South, East, North,... for each weekend of the riding season except for those weekends where a national holiday falls such as Easter, Fathers/Mothers Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Independence day.
5. Events such as Branson MC Rally, Sturgis, vacations, work, rain, lack of participation, no one plans a ride....WILL NOT STOP the rotation.
EXCEPTION: Holidays, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving....WILL STOP THE ROTATION. These are open dates.
If RC's/RL's are not available, it will be up to YOU (ANY/ALL MEMBERS!!! ) to
step up and PLAN the ride.
You (ANY/ALL MEMBERS) are encouraged to plan some of these rides, and/or any
other "UNOFFICIAL RIDES".
Throw your suggestions for rides out there. PLEASE !!!!
6. "Official" start point WILL NOT determine destination. We may start at North Location and go south or Start at West Location and go east.
7. "Official Ride" ends upon arrival at specified destination that was determined at beginning of "Official Ride". The "Official Ride may be a round trip. Allow time for riders meeting before departure. Show up early. We will leave on time. You may be left behind if you are late and haven't notified anyone and asked that the departure time be extended. Be reasonable, show up and be gassed at least 15 minutes before departure for ride briefing.
8. "Official Ride" can be either Saturday or Sunday.
Be Gassed up and ready to roll
at the posted Departure time.
This is why we depart from Gas Stations whenever possible.
