Me and My Bike

[fredwolf007]

Well I was overdue to spend some time on the new bike this weekend. Took off for a really nice stroll down River Road - a nice rural road running the length of the Sacramento river on the west bank. Beautiful day, nice cool breeze, no other vehicles in my direction - couldn'd be more perfect. Then when I went to turn around, it happened. I found

After last year's trip, I said I wasn't going to go this year...then a couple months back, I started to reconsider. It's more of an issue of expense than anything. I would be traveling alone (nobody here goes to CA; they go to FL), for one thing, and have to foot the hotel on my own.

Also, airfares from here to SNA and LAX aren't as low as they were last year when I flew Frontier. I've got enough frequent flyer miles on Northwest for two round-trips, but I figure since I've gone so many times, I would do better to hold them for traveling someplace new.

But ya never know...I'll keep you posted.

Sounds like a nice ride. Glad both you and the bike were ok.
Don't get skittish about gravel, just give it some respect. You can learn to manuver in it, just keep the bike upright and use a light throttle. It takes longer to turn, but with practice, that skiddy stuff can be tamed.

going forward

Thanks beast. Yes I am in one piece. I'll be riding on Sunday to get back into it. Hope all is well with you - nice pics on your blog :-)
