Default Palomar / Montezuma ride report

Sup everyone,

Got out yesterday to Palomar and hit the twisties for about 4 hours. All was good there was a little more debris on the s.grade than I am used to but the traffic was "o", cant beat week day riding.

Made 4 runs up and down Montezuma and this is still my favorite road by far. only problem there was a broken down truck in the middle of a corner that prevented me from riding in hard as it was right where you would end up if anything bad happened.

I am sore though I think srobak is right about the gym Great day though and no mishaps except one time I chickened out and ended up crossing the DY after hitting the brakes [:'(] dam pu$$y. Sorry no pics.

Mike

Sounds great. You need to get a helmet cam and post video of your outings. Then I can sit in front of my computer and pretend I have a life and am tearin' up and down the mountain myself lol.

I like the cam idea; it would be cool to see it on video. I would like to have pics of myself so I can see what I am doing right and wrong, probably more wrong than right.[:'(]
Having a camera following me would be helpful in doing that.

their is a group of guys out here that do that. you pay them then they film you riding. one guy in front of you and one guy in back of you then they put it on dvd and give to you. so that way you can see what your doing.

Hey Notstock - if you don't have pics, then it didn't happen!


Sounds like a great fabricated story of a ride, though - wish I'd been there with you, hypothetically speaking of course, since it really didn't happen


Cheers bro!
