    Quick Local ride - Atascadero

    229, 58, Vinyard Drive, Peachy Canyon......somewhere's out there. Pozo maybe.
    Start pretty soon.
    Anybody interested?

    them that can & them that watch...

    as I watched Tori dissapear in the twisties, I was reminded of how much I have to learn..........

    In one section of 229 are a series of soft right, left, right, left turns back and forth. As he pulled farther away, I thought of a skier in the slalum course, carving the turns while I tried to not fall over........
    He wasn't even trying.

    Thanks for the class T-man.
    Sorry to hold you up.


    Hmmm...maybe a track day........
    maybe smaller chicken strips!


    Catch any rain?

    LOL, me the teacher ? thats funny. While i do feel im getting better, its probrably just my confidence level rising, hopefully my skill level is rising too, but still dont feel smooth.

    You never held me up, so dont worry about that. We all ride at our own pace. Thats whats important.

    A track day is a MUST ! You will gain so much from one single day, and the fun level is off the chart ! Im hoping for one in the following months, so keep that in mind.

    Oh, no rain here. As i pulled into the driveway i notices some spots on the ground, but never saw a drop on the bike. Guess i lucked out. It was nice to hear the sprinkles though.

    sorry I missed you guys but I was throwing roost in the mts outside pozo. you guys were probably only a couple miles from me at one time. too bad, you could have stopped in if there was any cell coverage out there to allow us to track one another down. we made it out again with no broken bones and only one broken lever. jake has a bit of rash on his shoulder from one of his two gravity checks off the CR... he's getting better, though.

    Good for him!

    Wish I had spent some time off-roading when I was his age. He will be a better rider for it......either off OR on road.
