    Rider Level(s): All, no super newbs

    The weather is supposed to be quite nice this Saturday and Ive had a new bike for over 3 weeks and only put 400 miles on it:mad:. Dress warm and remember that lake B. can have some tricky spots. Afterwards I know a great sushi place in Davis for a late lunch and being a holiday weekend the town should be cleared out.

    Post if you're interested in going.

    yea, I agree about the newbie friendly stuff, also, lots of our newbies right now dont like freeways yet, so the start out there is not so good either, it takes freeways to get there without much thought and planning, and then you do the causeway after for more freeway, closer to home is a better idea right now

    Bah, nothing wrong with cold pavement as long as you get some heat into your tires. ;)

    Adam, just keep in mind there will be plenty of road debris and damp spots. Depending on what route/loop you're planning some roads are in a lot worse shape than others.

    Concerns noted. This is now no longer a newbie ride, can an admin please change the title to reflect that.

    We just did the loop on Saturday and despite that it rained the day before it was not bad..some damp spots for sure and lots of rocks and what not but if you are mindful of the road you should be fine. Have fun!

    maybe if you drop you tire pressure some from 40psi to 30 psi it will be better when cold out

    Tire pressures

    Tire presures are for schmucks, are we all that good that we must have a pound here or there , I think not, run the recommended tire pressures for your bike and make sure you don't panic brake into a corner with your rear tire leaving a 50 yard skid mark, cause then tire pressures don't matter. I never remember someone saying my tire pressures were too high or low caused me to crash unless they were top level racers or just full of shit.
