Description of the Ride This year we will be hosting the N00b ride on May 21, the weekend before Memorial Day and as always, we will be teaming up experienced riders with their less experienced counterparts. While this is traditionally worked around the sportbike community, we do not and have not turned away persons on other types pf motorcycles. We ask only that everyone wear a helmet, gloves, ankle-height shoes and pants. Those who show up without this minimal amount of gear will be asked to leave the group r...
