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...

Thanks for the invite/information!

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
