Columbia Scooter Club Inaugural Ride

Odometer: 220

I’ve fallen a little behind in my blogging lately – I think because so many exciting things have been happening. First off, this post is to celebrate the inaugural ride of the Columbia Scooter Club. We had our first ride last Sunday, on a beautifully crisp fall afternoon around 5:00 pm. We rode for about an hour, on the following 21-mile route:

• Hickory Ridge Road to Martin Road
• Left on Seneca Drive and up over US-29
• Right on Seneca Drive to Guilford Road
• Left on Brokenland Parkway to Cradlerock Drive
• Right on Homespun Drive to Oakland Mills Road
• Oakland Mills Road to Thunder Hill Parkway, looping past the village center to Stevens Forest Road
• Stevens Forest across Brokenland, then a little bit of maneuvering to get back to Seneca Drive and back home the way we started

Columbia is such an excellent scooting town; there are probably a million ways we could have gone. My riding buddy was very patient of my slower speeds and sluggish performance on the hills – on his 200 cc scooter he can drive on the highway without any trouble. Still, a good time was had by all, er, both.

Check out these two rock stars on their kick ass rides!
