South East MN Newbie
« on: June 08, 2012, 10:51:25 AM »
[img]Hello!

I truly am a newbie, first bike purchased this spring...  But, the bug has bitten hard!  I have ridden about 3000 miles this spring already, bought my wife a bike and my oldest son a scooter.  I am enjoying learning more about riding techniques and styles, and I look forward to getting on some group rides.

I live in Pine Island (20 miles North of Rochester) look me up for a ride if you are in the area!

Welcome! Watch the "Rides" subforum to see when and where people are
riding. There just happens to be a ride this Sunday through Winona and
Houston Counties. Hook up with us for a mile or a hundred miles. These
rides are very flexible.

Welcome Greg, I see you made it over ......

These people have taught me more about riding than any day spent on a track: Larry B, Tony K, Vince J, Mr. Wonderful, V2Neal, Marty F, Kevin B, Devon W, Ehrich, Mike A, John L, Arnell, Kirk, Ray C

Track days are like climbing the rock wall at REI.
Perhaps I need to stop taking the high road.

That sounds like a great ride! Unfortunately it is Cheese Fest weekend in Pine Island.  Fire Department responsibilities all day...

Hi Greg,
welcome to the site!  I'm from Byron, and do alot of local rides as well as SE/MN and WISC.  If you and your wife ever want to meet up for a local ride, I can give you a tour of some of the better roads in the area.

Those who have actually NEVER tried riding the track could learn a thing or 10 about being a better streetrider; because let's be honest; none of us (Greg) are as great as we think we are. LMAO!

That would be great!  Don't need much of an excuse or much notice for a ride. Send me a message or text me when when you are heading out. (507) 261-2276
