Default Flood Run question

I was thinking about doing the flood run too. I have ridden for years but have never been on a large scale ride.

I have a question for anyone that has been on the ride in the past. I looked at the web site and was wondering if all you need to do is buy a wristband? It sounds like it is a pretty loose ride and could be a lot of fun.

It's a lot of fun and you don't need a wristband, its optional for charity. A year or two ago there were around 15,000 bikes on the spring run when it was nice weather.

All in all a pretty "loose" run, you do your own thing and stop off in the little towns for beverage or food. I would recommend stopping in maiden rock, there are some real nuts that do burnouts/wheelies all day long up the hill in town. I hate to say it but its fun to watch and see what happens.

I plan on going last year was cold but still a ton of fun. I agree Maiden Rock was a blast, and it's very low key just ride at your own pace and stop when and wherever you want. If anyone is interested in meeting or getting a group together from here let me know.

I was wondering if you were going to go this year. You are more than welcome to join us again if you like. I think we'll have a little bigger group this year and hopefully you don't have to freeze your a$$ off on the way down.

You bet. As long as the weather is good you'll have fun.
