Chief Gunner 2 Posted January 8, 2008 I will be meeting up with tntmo here on base (32nd st) on Friday around 1 P.M so we can head a little bit South and then East in some dirt. I have never ridden Otay and I want to take the scenic route home from work so I can explore some possible alternative routes If any of you would like to go, let us know. I do not plan to ride at a fast and crazy pace, so yes I am going to take it easy and enjoy an area I want to get to know better. All we need to do if you want to ride Friday afternoon is set up a meet up time and place. Gunz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief Gunner 2 Posted January 9, 2008 By no means am I a Jedi / Superman type of rider so with that said....I don't really know if I have expressed myself in a positive way or not so I just wanted to throw this up. I may have made a bad impression on a few posts I've made so I wanted to try and clear it up and express to you all that I am not out to impress anyone, I am it for the fun and the experiences I get while riding with this club. My experience here with these people is that the pace of our rides is always determined by those that show up. Being honest about your experience without trying to impress people keeps you and the people you ride with from getting hurt and from anybody else doing stupid things. I try to learn something new on every ride I go on and if I have to slow down and stop to help a Brother or Sister out, than who gives a ----. Nobody gets left Behind!

tntmo 910 Posted January 10, 2008 I was thinking we could get down to the I-905/south end of Otay Truck Trail around 1330-1400. If anyone else is joining in on this ride they can meet us near the 32nd St Naval Base or at the I-905. We'll be riding OTT from south to north, maybe exploring a few of the side trails depending on how everything goes. It's all pretty much on the go planning, no telling where we'll end up. Just let me or Gunner know if you want to come along and we'll work it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Numbskull Posted January 10, 2008 The skydiving place on otay lakes rd. lets me park there. How about that as a meeting spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 910 Posted January 10, 2008 The skydiving place on otay lakes rd. lets me park there. How about that as a meeting spot? We will be starting on the south end of OTT, somewhere off the 905 is a good meeting spot. I think there is a 7/11 gas station on the south side of the road which would work.

Chief Gunner 2 Posted January 10, 2008 I'm thinking about going. I will not be sure until thursday evening. Still confused on the time, 13 or 1 what is that in bells chief? /quote] Time as marked by the bells The use of the bells to mark the time stems from the period when seamen (1) could not afford a personal time piece (i.e. - a watch) and (2) even if they could, they had no idea on how to tell time with such an instrument. The bells mark the hours of the watch in half-hour increments. The seamen would know if it were morning, noon, or night. Each watch* is four hours long and the bells are struck thus: Mid Morning Forenoon Afternoon Dogs* First 0030 - 1 bell 0430 - 1 bell 0830 - 1 bell 1230 - 1 bell 1630 - 1 bell 2030 - 1 bell 0100 - 2 bells 0500 - 2 bells 0900 - 2 bells 1300 - 2 bells 1700 - 2 bells 2100 - 2 bells 0130 - 3 bells 0530 - 3 bells 0930 - 3 bells 1330 - 3 bells 1730 - 3 bells 2130 - 3 bells 0200 - 4 bells 0600 - 4 bells 1000 - 4 bells 1400 - 4 bells 1800 - 4 bells 2200 - 4 bells 0230 - 5 bells 0630 - 5 bells 1030 - 5 bells 1430 - 5 bells 1830 - 5 bells 2230 - 5 bells 0300 - 6 bells 0700 - 6 bells 1100 - 6 bells 1500 - 6 bells 1900 - 6 bells 2300 - 6 bells 0330 - 7 bells 0730 - 7 bells 1130 - 7 bells 1530 - 7 bells 1930 - 7 bells 2330 - 7 bells 0400 - 8 bells** 0800 - 8 bells 1200 - 8 bells 1600 - 8 bells 2000 - 8 bells 2400 - 8 bells LETS RIDE!

mikeyb 0 Posted January 11, 2008 We will be starting on the south end of OTT, somewhere off the 905 is a good meeting spot. I think there is a 7/11 gas station on the south side of the road which would work. Google says there is a 7-11 at 8395 Otay Mesa Rd (905). Is that where you mean? And what time would you like to meet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
