New Flag needed at Top of Luge!!!

I'll be there at noon. My dad and I will be starting at 830.....i need the head start lol

 

Why a late start?????

 

Noon is a good time for the ceremony and that was what worked with the main people attending.

I was hoping that people would go on their morning ride and then meet us around Noon at the flag pole for the festivities.

I hope you can make it!!

 

So where do we meet at?? What time??

 

Meet at the flag at 11:45. Ceremony starts at noon. Start where ever you want as long as you meet at the flag.

 

I mean, where and what time to start at??? Never been there.

 

I cross posted the event here https://www.facebook.com/events/135579493286876/. So we gonna be there with 30+ riders. Our routes is Whiting - Luge - Whiting. Hope to be there on time. See you all at the Flag pole! :wave:

One advantage or riding around noon is that there is plenty of sunshine for well lit pics.

 

Some will start at Outback on Portola, others at Wahoo's on Portola and some will start at Cook's Corner which is the usual start place if you're just doing STT/Luge.

I would imagine that Cook's will be very crowded with motorcyclist so I'd elect not to park there on Monday.

You can park along Santiago Canyon Rd if you want. These are the routes: http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=1 & http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=1761

Ok people, I want to ride Whiting Ranch-The Luge. And then do the Flag. I never been there, first time riding The Luge and want to ride it so bad!!! So what time do we meet??? And where do I park and meet you guys??? And who can I tag along with???

 

I'm planning on doing Whiting-Luge starting from Wahoos on Portola about 10:00.

 

My buddy and I are also parking at Wahoos, but we are pedaling around 9:15-9:30. We're gonna head up to Old Camp before the flag ceremony. I may not make the whole climb, but I can turn around anytime. Blue Knolly, white Audi. If you see me, say hi (while you pass me, most likely).

 

Looking forward to seeing all the Boys and Girls at the Flagpole!!! Flag ceremony and pic at Noon.

Stay hydrated and lets have some fun!!!

Bumping this thread to see if there is any interest on doing a ride and ceremony for Veteran's Day. I work so hopefully another Vet or person can take the lead. Depending on ride time, I may be able to join, but don't schedule on my behalf. Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks Gene!! Do I have to be a Vet to set this up?? I just don't know how to properly hang/fold the flag etc.....

 

Get to reading!

No need to be a Vet to set up a ride. If Vets are present during the ceremony, it would be good if they are at least part of the retiring, folding and hanging of the new flag. There's always been several who show, but it's not necessary.

Good info there, but unless I missed it, no mention on "how" to fold the flag.

Here's a good instructional video of how to properly fold our flag and the meaning of each fold.

OK, thanks guys. I'll send a PM to Kevin/xhusker to see if he's willing to take charge.

 

Hi Everyone,

First...Thnk you Gene for posting this up and sending over some cash!! That is much appreciated!!

I have been thinking about this for the last week or so but I everytime I sat down to the computer I would forget to post up the ride. Se here are the details

1. Monday, November 11th is Veterans Day.
2. I propose a Noon Flag Ceremony at the top of the luge.
3. Get there however you like, just not a Jeep or Ford explorer
4. Gene and Eric can lead the ceremony like last time.

I will bring the flag and some new hardware for the pole. I hope you can make it and honor Veterans with us! If you would like to donate, the maximum amount is 5 bucks. Here is the address:
