If you want a good cover bluestreakracing sells some really good ones, but they do cost around $80.

Well I have a good cover I bought from SCI in Cambridge but they had one on sale for $19 and all I need it for is my Daughters little Power Wheels Escalade.

Its still early in the season so we haven't had weekly meets yet, just some here and theres.
Last year it was Thursdays @ University and Bridge timmies. Be there for 6:30 and head out about 6:40pm.

Rides usually last about 1-3hours depending on size and location.
I think the biggest one I have been on was about 14 of us but they are usually about 6-8.
 
Waterloo region police have a newer white unmarked police van. Saw someone pulled over today FYI
 
I'm a new rider on a cbr125...will I be able to keep up with you guys? I've had enough experience with the bike, its the pacing and the ability to keep up that I am worried about.
 
Hi there. We typically don't ride nuts fast on the street so you shouldn't have any problems keeping up.
 
most rides are all rider friendly and we try to keep them around the speed limit. We welcome riders of all skill levels. If a ride is quicker paced, it will be indicated such when it is posted. Feel free to come out and meet some new people. The vast majority of rides around K/W do not use 400 series roads, so as long as you are comfortable at 90-100 kph, you will be fine. During group rides, sometimes guys up front might go a little quicker for a short period of time, but will wait up ahead (myself, bigevildoer, doozerdave, and most of the more experienced guys anyways).

Group rides require a level of skill and concentration greater than solo riding. Make sure your comfortable with the bike on your own first before joining group rides. Just stick to the back, leave yourself space and ALWAYS ride at a pace comfortable for you. Do not go beyond your skills, ride your own ride, just because the guy infront of you is 8" off his seat in a lean, doesn't mean you should be. I cannot emphasize this enough, seen a few guys total bikes not riding at their own skill level.

The guys around here are pretty chill, so if your unfamiliar with how to ride in a group, signals, expectations, do not be afraid to ask. We were all new once, everyone understands. Once the weather gets a bit warmer, come out to one of the group rides!
 
Ditto to what Smergy says...
Except that I'm a newb.. and better looking than he is.... :D
 
some of us focus on our riding, some of us focus on less important things. Let me know what skirt you've picked out to wear for Sunday at the track.
