We are planning another Saturday Shift breakfast ride for November 19th. It may be a cold one so plan accordingly.....but you know how Alabama weather can be.
If you are needing winter riding gear come on by and see us before the event. Mention the event and we will give you some awesome deals on some new duds.
This event we plan to ride to......well.....we want to hear from you. Name us some new locations. We want to hear about your favorite breakfast location. We recommend the locations for this ride be no more than 30-45 minutes away. The more locations the better. We would like to plan more rides all over this great state.
Please spread the word on this ride. Young riders and seasoned veterans alike, we want to build a strong community of riders.
Send people our way and let them know we want them out there riding.

If you do not have Facebook, please let us know here on Bamarides if you are interested or plan to go!! :) :)
INFO: We have decided to go to the Blue Plate Café on Governors Drive in Huntsville. Remember we will leave Allsport at 7am Saturday the 19th. If you would like to meet us at the Blue Plate instead of at Allsport you are more than welcome to.
Glad you are posting and hosting these events, but a lot of members here don't have Facebook. It would be better if you posted details, pics and ride report here also.
I will keep that in mind. I am new to Bama rides so this a learn as you go for me ;D. I will make sure to take a roll call here on the forum.
Hey we are interested if anyone has decided if they are going on the ride next weekend. We are still looking for feedback on any interesting places to eat breakfast.
November 19th is 2 weekends from now. I ate breakfast for the first time at the Blue Plate Cafe on memorial drive last weekend. It was pretty good and seems to be a popular spots for riders. You could hit some fun roads if you crossed the river and then crossed back on 231. It would be a little bit longer ride than the last one but you could ride some nice curvy roads.
We had talked about that. The vintage Bike club meets there on Saturday as well. It might be interesting to meet some new riders that way as well.

I'm going to try to make this. I will probably set up a ride for after breakfast if anyone is interested. I post something more definite in a few days.

How about changing this to the Blue Plate on Memorial PKWY. The local Vintage club will be there and this will give us the chance to meet & mingle with them.
Hmmmm....
I just saw the discussion on FB on going to the Memorial Blue Plate vs Governor's. The BPC on Memorial is a big restaurant with plenty of room. We had a fairly large group there a last weekend in addition to the vintage club and there was plenty of room. We just didn't eat in the same room as they did. It was cool having a parking lot full of bikes.
We chose the governors location for this ride and already updated the Facebook page. We would hate for people to show up to the governors location and the group actually be at the memorial location.
Too late to change it now. I'll probably meet you at the cafe but if I wake up real early I may ride over to Allsport.
Awesome yet cold ride. Pretty good turnout considering the weather. 7 riders total at Blue Plate. I will post video once I get a cord for the Go Pro....which unfortunately took a spill. It is alright though, it only broke the case. I did manage to collect a few pictures though from the Bluetooth as well as my phone.
Cant wait for the next ride. Stay posted. We plan to hopefully host an event in December and host a Polar Bear Ride in January.
Thanks for organizing the ride. I got a couple of photos too!

As already mentioned, it was a bit chilly this morning. It was also a beautiful morning with the clouds clearing up and the sun rising. I love taking pictures early in the morning.
Crossing the TN River into Decatur:

Some pretty clouds.

I got to Allsport a little early so I took a bunch of pics trying to use the sun rising for dramatic effect.

We headed across town on 67 and a bike riding the other way pulled a U turn and joined us. It was Ben on his FZ6.
Just before Priceville we turned onto E upper River Rd.

Somehow we lost Seth when I turned off to ride some of the smaller twisty roads. These were some really fun and twisty back roads but we had to be careful due to wet leaves in some places. We stopped to take a break and defrost our fingers.

Then we continued on.

Seth and 3 others were waiting for us at the Blue Plate Cafe where we had a great breakfast and interesting conversation.

It was a great way to start the day. I hope I can make the next one of these. Thanks Seth for setting this up.
It's a good thing we did this ride yesterday because it's 25 degrees this morning!
