ADDED JULY 4, 2008

Greetings and Happy 
Fourth of July!

I'm going to host an impromptu "race" downtown on Sunday morning. It'll all be perfectly legal (unless you decide to go faster than the posted speed limit). You'll be racing against the clock to see how fast you can photograph you, your scooter, and ten famous landmarks in the city. You'll need a scooter (all engine sizes are fine), a digital camera or the camera on your phone, and you might need a map unless you're familiar with everything downtown. You can race on your own, with somebody on the back of your scooter, or in groups, whatever. Prizes will be totally lame-o, but we'll have a few laughs anyway and we may award them based on style rather than speed. We'll see. You need to RSVP by e-mail before Sunday morning so I know how many race forms to print. We'll meet at a top secret location somewhere in downtown around 9 a.m. on July 6 and I'll send that info to you via e-mail as well. Let's see who is the best urban scooter street racer this Sunday. RSVP: thedenverscooterclub@colorado.usa.com

 PrideFest
Sunday might be a great day to go hang out 
downtown on a scooter eh? 
Here's a blurb out of the SQREAM newsletter. 

PrideFest Parade Update
Wow! We have 40 scooterists so far who have replied to the Evite for the parade. This could be a new SQREAM record! If you have not RSVP'd on the Evite, please do so Chuck and Bill can plan to have enough donuts and water on hand.

Our section is White 2 and our lineup time is 8:30 am but you may arrive as early as 7:30. Bill and Chuck will be in the park at 7:45. The only entrance to get into the park that morning is the the 11th Avenue entrance. If you are not there by 8:45am, you will not be in the parade. Slather on the sunscreen and bring plenty of water to drink. It's suppose to be warm and sunny. We will have the Erico truck with us blasting out great party tunes. Feel free to decorate your scoot and yourself.

I'll be marching in the parade on my stilts as Nuclia Waste. The Demented Divas will be performing on the Main Stage at 1:15 pm. And Nuclia will be the hostess at the Club Vinyl Climax Sunday Pride Party (1082 Broadway) from 5-8 pm.

How about a German Vespa rally?

Scooter Tech Workshop on Saturday
Don't miss out on the fun at Erico at 2 p.m. on Saturday. These workshops are a great chance to learn about your scooter, meet the staff at the shop, and be tempted by a few cool things to buy. You'll be able to afford something new because you've also stopped by for some free gasoline earlier in the day: FREE gas to anyone that shows up on a scooter to Circle K, 1300 W Colfax from 10am-12noon! Thank you Erico!!

Sunday Ride
I'm planning on a ride almost every Sunday this summer, but I'm replacing the deck on my house this weekend and Tiger Woods is in the hunt for the U.S. Open and they're playing game five of the NBA finals, so I'm out for this weekend. If you want to lead a ride on Sunday, please drop a note onto the Erico Scooter Forum and see who will go with you.

Scooter Shopping
After reading some un-cool posts on the ScooterBBS written by the owner of Sportique Scooters, I would encourage you to consider your alternatives when making scooter-related purchases. We are lucky to be supported by Erico Motorsports where all scooterists are treated with compassion and dignity and I personally hope you show your support by doing business with Erico. The Denver Scooter Club supports open-mindedness, SQREAM scooter club, and scootering for everybody.

Oh The Places We'll Go
Tom knows how to break in his new Piaggio BV250.
