January adventure ride over Sunrise Pass: Lynn, Steve, Jim and Jim. Steve, Jim and Jim set out for Sunrise Pass from Reno and just happened upon Lynn a good ways down the dirt road to Smith Valley—you meet the nicest people on a … KLR, KTM and BMW!
Have to see if we can talk one of these fellows into leading a club Adventure along this path—this time of year we encountered over half a dozen water crossing, a few deep ones, and several icy, snowpacked sections in the shade—good for an adrenalin boost! Once it is warm it should be very nice—an all day ride for sure! Probably one to bring a lunch on ….

2018 High Beemer Rides ------The following are the planned dates of the rides for the upcoming year. If you would like to be the leader of any of the High Beemer CR or GS rides, let me know via email ([email protected]) or at the January 28th dinner meeting.
Breakfast Rides (BR) are on the third Monday of each month, starting at Starbucks on Wedge Parkway. Doug Laird or his backup (Nick) will lead the rides. Destinations are determined by the riders in attendance. Usually back in Reno by 12-12:30pm. These rides are held year around and if the weather is inclement everyone is encouraged to show up in an alternate vehicle.
Club Rides (CR) are road rides that occur on third Saturday or Sunday of each month. The ride leader will de- termine the ride date, gathering point, route, and lunch location. The ride leader shares the details of the ride with everyone via our club forum, email and newsletter. On the day of the ride, the leader takes a headcount at the gathering point and then calls ahead to the restaurant to make a reservation for the group. The route is a road ride, usually several hours long, possibly with a break stop on the way to the lunch site. The return trip is often open, allowing riders the option of returning to Reno as a group, or on their own.
Off Road Rides (GS) are on the fourth Saturday or Sunday of each month. The GS leader follows the same procedures as a Club Ride, except that the GS ride might include a “brown bag” lunch (rather than a restau- rant lunch) due to routing. ------
April 2018 BR: Apr 16 CR: Apr 21 or 22nd (leader: Fred Barrie) GS: Apr 28 or 29
May 2018 BR: May 21 CR: May 19 or 20 (leader: Bob G) GS: May 26 or 27
June 2018 BR: Jun 18 CR: Jun 16 or 17 (leader: Doug Laird) GS: Jun 23 or 24
July 2018 BR: Jul 16 CR: Jul 21 or 22 GS: Jul 28 or 29

Volume 28 Issue 02 The High Beemers M/C of Northern Nevada BMWMOA Chartered Club #337, BMWRA Charter #75, AMA Charter #3185301 Page 16 Dim Bulb Feb 2018
Group Rider’s Responsibilities: 1 – Arrive prepared (full gas tank) and on time. 2 – Ride in Formation: (Highway – Staggered Formation) Ride Leader should be in left third of lane. Next rider should be in right third of lane, next rider back to the left third of lane and so on. Preferably there should be a two second gap between riders. Riders should ride sin- gle file when the road conditions are curvy; there is poor visibility, and poor road surfaces, when entering/leaving the highway or other situations when an increased space cushion or maneuvering room is required. MSF recommends a minimum of two seconds between rid- ers. NOTE: Avoid side by side formation. If you needed to avoid a hazard, you would not have room to do so. 3 – If separated from the group, don’t panic. Each rider should know before hand the desti- nation and be provided with directions. 4 – For mechanical or medical problems, use a cell phone to call for assistance as the situ- ation warrants. 5 - If a rider plans to ride on their own and eventually meet up with the group, the ride lead- er should be advised prior to departure. 6 - If a rider plans to break off from the group they should advise the ride leader at a rally point or meeting location prior to leaving the group.
7 - All riders/passengers must obey state law and wear an approved helmet. NOTE: No Alcohol should be consumed on a club ride. 8 - It is highly recommended that all riders/passengers wear protective clothing while on club rides. 9 - We represent motorcyclists to motorists so PLEASE drive appropriately. 10 - This is a group ride that riders have chosen to participate in. Riders: please be patient, toler- ant and respectful of others needs; please try to stay together and look out for the well being of other participants. 11 – Periodically check the riders following in your rear view mirror. If you see a rider falling be- hind, slow down so they may catch up. If all riders in the group use this technique, the group should be able to maintain a fairly steady speed without pressure to ride too fast to catch up. 12 – Each rider is responsible for the rider behind him. The rider should SAFELY pause at each major turn to ensure the following rider stays on the route. The rider waits until the following rider is able to continue. 13 - Someone from the ride should write a story of the trip for the newsletter editor.
Enjoy the ride!
