ride detail for sunday, july 20th

midnight ride:
since east side scooters will be closed at this time, we will meet directly across the street in the krogers parking lot. we will leave by midnight thirty at the latest, so try to be there as close to midnight as possible. we will tool around the east side for a minute, cross the shelby street bridge, then ride broadway through downtown. from there we will hit charlotte ave. and take that until we reach old hickory blvd. that will lead us to franklin road which will then lead us back into downtown.

as well, if everyone or anyone is so inclined, we can make a waffle house stop at harding and i-65. i am always down for some waffle house.

my notes: when i rode this route tonight, it took roughly 45 minutes. i didn't ride the complete route so we are probably looking at closer to an hour riding. i think it should work out to about 40-45 miles. the speed limits range from 30mph to 55mph. i'm not saying 50cc scooters shouldn't come, but just keep that in mind. as well, if you are scared of the dark, you may get freaked out at some points. i am looking forward to there being more than just my one headlight the next time i go through some of these areas. nonetheless, i think it is going to be a very fun ride and just looking forward to riding in a group at night.

percy warner park ride - 2pm
we will meet at east side scooters at 2pm and leave by 2:30pm. our route will basically be into downtown, west end ave. to highway 100 then into the park. we rode this route on our very first ride and it was a blast. there is a really cool lookout point midway through the park as well. we will end up at bongo java off belmont to just hang out and then go from there.

i am looking forward to seeing a good sized group there this sunday. it will be a lot of fun for sure.
