Default 6-20-09 Ride

Hit the roads and trails yesterday, here are some of the pictures. I rode this road/trail 2 years ago, wanted to see if it was still open. And it was!

Found this on the side of the road, not sure but it looked like a water tank from a travel trailer...

Then we decided at this point since both of the wives were working, that we had better take advantage of the day and so we headed over the mountain and onto highway 101..

I've been over this a few times in the past 3 years, fortunately its still open. But as you will see there are slides. And the Forest Service probably won't have the money to repair anytime soon.

Thats it, another 14 miles back on the highway to town for as you can see in the GPS file picture was a nice loop. Ended the ride at 65 miles.

And I didn't even say anything about your suspension. See, I'm working on my people skills. How am I doing? Still a way to go, I know.

What if I told you that I got the springs yesterday and installed them, so now you don't have to bring it up again?

Good report Deej! All I got to do today was ride around town. Not as scenic as your ride.

I spent the morning watching my 12 year old daughters softball team win their league and then did the fathers day thing. I think I will go for a short ride this evening.
Looks like you had a nice day with a buddy!!
Klahowya is a coast salish slang term for welcome!! When I was growing up we used lots of those native slang words, interesting to see that the native people saw no borders and traveled far.
