STANDS UP: 10:30 a.m.
BACK IN AUSTIN: 3:00 p.m. (??????????)

HELMETS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

ARRIVE WITH A FULL GAS TANK!!!!!!! No planned gas stops. Ride is only about 55 miles. My one-gallon Vino tank made it with gas to spare.

Don’t forget your camera and cowboy hat (or any other fun cowboy prop)!!!!

We’ll meet at Paco’s Tacos http://www.yelp.com/biz/pacos-tacos-austin for coffee, tea, juice, whatever. Then we’ll take a fairly short ride to “downtown” Manor for a late breakfast at Ramos Restaurant & Discoteca (no website — good Mexican food). Take an indirect, country-roads route to the J. Lorraine Ghost Town for pictures, fun, hanging out, a Klondike Bar, whatever. http://www.ghosttownaustin.com/ Then back to Austin.

Of course, it all depends on how long we stay at the Ghost Town, but I think we’ll be back in Austin by 3:00.

BE THERE!

Linda  has planned an 80-mile round trip ride out to Elgin on Sunday (October 24th) to enjoy the beautiful weather with area scooterists. The route will include stops in Webberville, Manor, the Lorraine Ghost Town, and Elgin’s historic district. The Lorraine Ghost Town has fantastic photo ops, so bring your camera and your Western attire. Please arrive with a full tank of gas and your helmet. This ride is for scooters that can sustain 55 mph.

Agenda
8:30 AM: Meet at Jamba Juice at 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd.
9:15 AM: Kickstands up!
11:15 AM: Stop in downtown Elgin for a late breakfast at City Café.
3:30 PM: Arrive back in Austin.

This month’s group ride will be this upcoming Sunday. We’ll be headed out on the West Lake route, so prepare yourself for low speeds, awesome views, and lots of turns. This ride will accommodate scooters of all engine sizes. Don’t forget your water bottle and sunscreen because it will be toasty on Sunday.

Agenda

10am: Meet at Jo’s Coffee on 1300 S Congress. Look for the scooters parked along the street.
11am: Ride out.
1:30pm: End at El Chilito on Manor for lunch.

ASC doesn’t always have to leave Travis County to get good BBQ, and this Sunday is no exception. After lunch, we’ll head south and cruise around McKinney Falls State Park. This ride is meant for 125cc and above scooters.

Agenda

11am: Meet at Franklin BBQ for some of the most-hyped BBQ in town. Franklin BBQ is located at 3421 N IH-35.
Noon: Kickstands up. If you plan to eat lunch, please try to arrive early.
3pm: Cruise back into town and grab coffee at Ruta Maya on S Congress.

Mary will be leading the ride, so keep an eye out for her red Stella at the meet up location. Ask her for a vinyl sticker or two. Please wear your helmet!

The Third Friday ride will be postponed this week.  Rain has been predicted for Friday, so I would rather not  take the chance of having to cancel plans at the last minute.  Ride safe and stay dry.
