Ghost Town Ride this Sunday

Austin Scooter Club — Thu, 05 May 2011 23:30:22 +0000

WHEN: Sunday, May 8th, 9:45 a.m.
WHERE: Paco’s Tacos at 1304 East 51st Street
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!

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.

In-town BBQ ride this Sunday

maribell — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:16:09 +0000

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!

No Third Friday Ride this week

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.
