Austin Scooter Club

The Austin Scooter Club in conjunction with Austin Hooligans will be serving as scooter ambassadors for this year’s Statesman Capitol 10K.

What does that mean? We will be leading the race in front of the runners to pass out t-shirts, noisemakers, and other promotional items to people watching the race.  As an event volunteer, you will receive a free t-shirt + free food and beer from the volunteer’s tent after the race ends.

The Capitol 10K benefits the Meals on Wheels charity and will be a good way to show Austin residents just how cool scooters are.

Agenda

7:00 AM: Meet at the IHOP at IH-35 and Cesar Chavez to receive your volunteer t-shirt from Michael.
7:30 AM: Head to the S Congress Bridge where the race starts.
11:30 AM: Go to the volunteer area after the race to enjoy food, beer, and live music.

If you are interested, please respond to the thread titled Austin Capitol 10K ride April 11, 2010 – RIDERS NEEDED in the General Discussion section of the Forum. You can also reply on Facebook to the event Ride the Capitol 10k in Austin.  Hope to see you there!

The Third Friday ride for March has been canceled due to SXSW, Spring Break, and March Madness amongst other things. We will be having  a BBQ ride this Sunday afternoon.

What does Austin Scooter Club love more than trailer park food? Barbecue and trekking to small towns to eat said barbecue. We will be riding out to Lockhart again on Sunday. We had so much fun last year and would also like to test a possible route for the upcoming rally.

Agenda

9:30 AM: Meet at Jo’s Coffee at 1300 S Congress Ave.
10:30 AM: Helmets on and kickstands up. The group will be heading out at 10:30 sharp, so make sure to be on time. We’ll be eating at Smitty’s or  Black’s. When everyone arrives at Jo’s, we’ll take a vote to see where everyone wants to eat.
12 noon: Arrive in Lockhart and eat some BBQ.
1:30 PM: Head back to Austin.

Eric will be leading the ride on his brown and orange Vespa P200. Please wear your helmet!

If you have any questions or comments, then please post them on the Ride to Lockhart topic in the Forum.

For February, we will be returning to some of Austin Scooter Club’s favorite places. We’ll enjoy some delicious and classy tacos at Izzoz, go for a nice 50cc friendly cruise around Central Austin, and end at the Pour House Pub on Burnet in the Brentwood neighborhood. Eric will be leading the ride so keep an eye out for his brown and orange Vespa P200 at Izzoz.

Agenda

6:00 PM: Meet at Izzoz Tacos at 1207 S 1st Street in the heart of 78704.
7:00 PM: Go on a cruise around Central Austin.
8:30 PM: End at the Pour House Pub on Burnet Rd.

Don’t forget to wear your helmet and windproof jacket. We’ll see you on Friday!

Starting this Wednesday, members of the Austin Scooter Club will meet up at the Pour House (6701 Burnet Rd in the 78757) for some beer, food, and camaraderie.  We’ll be arriving around 6-6:30pm and hanging out for a couple hours.

If you scoot in the North/Central part of town or just feel like going for a ride, then we would love it if you joined us. Everyone is welcome. We plan on making this a weekly event, so if you can’t make it this week, then pencil us in for a future Wednesday.

After scouring a variety of weather forecasts, I have some bad news. Every single weather forecast calls for heavy rains in the Austin area this Friday. Our usual Third Friday will be postpone one week with hopes for better weather the coming Friday. The ride will now be held on Friday, January 22. Our ride this month will cater to those scooterists brave enough to battle North Austin traffic.

Agenda
6 PM: Meet at Asia Café at 8650 Spicewood Springs Rd #114A for some tasty and authentic Chinese food.
7 PM: Go for a nice ride in the Spicewood Springs area.
8:30 PM: Finish our ride at Hideout Pub at 12164 N Mo Pac Expy with some cold beverages.
