08 Triple Crown, Ride all 5, Az and Cali

Hi all,
Well its time to think about next years Triple Crown Rides.
We have included Arizona,(Flagstaff), for our 5th ride.
Yes boys and girls we are expanding to extend our Hospitality and general lack of morals to include the southwest. Things will never be the same
We have changed some of the bits and pieces to help the host and make the ride more enjoyable. They will be posted on our web site hopefully by the end of the year,(Brad).
http://www.bradzimmerman.com/triplecrown/

Here are the area, host and date.
cya soon you bunch of lunatics, love ya
jeff

First Ride: Flagstaff-Cottonwood area

Second Ride: San Diego

Jeff

WHAT? ...are you saying you'll NOT be able to partake in a SINGLE one of those rides? BUT you CAN pick up your MIL from the airport?

I see where your priorities lie...

No, no, I was kidding that all this riding was "work." No, I'll be there. Maybe not all 5 (stuff happens), but lots.

Gary, this group is pretty awesome!

Everybody pretty much rides at their own level of comfort and some (like Kerry and Steve) even ride their own routes!

I can not speak for you to be invited or not, but if we go riding before hand, I can voice my opinion about you (not that it will count for ANYTHING!) as dangerous as that might be...

Indeed
I ordered it the day it was suggested - been going through it.
I am looking forward to a training session at the track in the new year.
Seems there is nothing available that I can drive to till then

...come down here and ride with me, gary... that'll ruin your riding abilities once and for all! Not even Keith Code can counter that!

I personally like Nick Ienatsch's Book a little better... I went to a track day a few days after KC was there and the brake and turn-in markers were all still there... whew... NOT FOR ME!

Accountants love markers. You can count them, they're rational, all lined up, and quite tidy.

If we added just one more ride it could be the Double Triple Crown.

Wups. There I go, thinking ahead again ...
