So
I have been hearing about the awful sand, flat and boring conditions at Allaire
for 3 years now. Frank has been trying to convince me to never ride there
as it is indeed not worth the drive. Well despite the negative reviews I
figured I would hit up the Misfits ride and see for myself. Misfits ride
as in a ride for owners of misfit bikes. Matty B originally organized
this ride for all misfit owners as they are apparently some sort of hells angel
gang of bikers who wear tights rather than leather. However, the ride was
in fact an all-inclusive and I was not harassed for riding my conformist
cannondale.
After
meeting up with Luke and Eileen, we made our way down. Arriving in the
parking lot, I was surprised to see it completely jam packed with riders.
I would name names, but there were far too many to list. The misfit
drivers soon came together for a picture
Soon
followed by the rest of us….Mitch took the picture, but sadly could not join us
on the ride.
So
after some social this and that we finally hit the trails with Matty, Frank and
Chris G leading the way. Within a few minutes the train was moving at
high speed and we were having an absolute blast. Cant understand why
Frank dislikes this place so much J.
It’s a really nice change of pace from the rocky and technical trails that
surround my hood. I can’t remember when I have been on a group ride this
large and seen it move so quickly. Got to do some quality chit chat with
lance, walt, spence, lou and even some james pearl commentary!
Train
was crazy long
Our
locomotive
James
Pearl must be in cross season
Eventually
we made our way over to this thing…Luke kept us there for 10 minutes until he
cleaned it
Nail
it Wookie!
The
pines
In
total we racked up about 15miles in an hour and forty minutes of moving time
which was dam good considering the size of the group. Cant believe I
waited this long to hit this place up, its an absolute blast. I only wish
it was closer to my house. Great times and a great tour…Thanks to Matty
and Frank for the guidance.
After
the ride, about 15 went for some post ride refueling..good times!!!
