Austin Scooter Club

After a couple weeks of hiding in the air conditioning, the Austin Scooter Club is hosting a ride this Friday. We will meet at P. Terry’s on North Lamar (the new location) at 6:30 for some delicious hamburgers and shakes. We will head out at 7:30 and ride until sundown. This ride is going to be in town, so you can bring whatever size scooter you own. Please wear a helmet. 

Don’t forget to scoot by Go Go Go at 2415 East 5th this Saturday July 25th at 5pm to celebrate their grand opening. Fellow scooterists, free beer, and free food will make this event a memorable one.

On behalf of the Austin Scooter Club, Mary and the ScootClub.com admins sent a gift to Jason Dick, one of the hosts of their favorite morning radio show The Morning X with Jason and Deb on 101X.

On July 2nd at 6:51am on Morning X, Mary and the Austin Scooter Club were thanked during a segment about Jason finally getting a bottle of Michael Jordan cologne. He read the letter on air that Mary enclosed with the package which asked if he could take a picture with the box which you see here. The site was also mentioned which is great exposure for the club.

The Morning X airs weekdays from 6am-10am on 101.5 FM. You can also listen to the show via 101X’s live stream during those hours or on their podcast if you don’t catch it live.

It is time for the gastronomic feast and ride y’all have all been waiting for — the Tour de Taquerías! Bring an empty stomach and some antacids to prepare for this ride.

10 AM: Start meeting at Jo’s Coffeehouse on South Congress.
11 AM: Kickstands up. We’ll ride around for about forty minutes before arriving at the first taco stand. We’ll eat for about forty-five minutes, and then ride some more to digest. We will be stopping at three different taco stands.
3 PM: Ride ends.

This will be an in-town ride, so scooters of all sizes are welcome! Don’t forget to wear a helmet and sunscreen, too!
