You like boating too, I just can't figure out which one your better at....

Thankfully the bike was still where I left it around the side of the building. However it also was covered with flies due to the proximity to the kitchen exhaust fan. So I pulled it 'round front and loaded up:



A few drops of rain were falling already, so we abandoned our scenic route and rolled east away from the weather. Made one stop:



We (well, I) thought about riding under this guy.



Still gray and occasional drizzle:



Hwy 35. To the east, not the Delta:



Hwy 35. To the west, The Delta:



Beginning of Cascilla Rd, Happy!:



Not happy:



Like I said, NOT happy. This was not a friendly "ADV salute." This was a "go to hell my ass hurts put the camera away salute."



All in all, once the sore butt went away and we had a nap, all was forgiven. This may be the beginning of a good thing...

Y'all have all the fun. Looks like a great weekend even with mediocre blues tunes.

Looks like a great trip! Would you stay there again? That sounds like a really good time. Tell Antiwife hello for me!

Yeah, I'd stay there again. The bed was not the best and you will NOT get to sleep before the band calls it quits, but it makes for a pretty good experience. They have cameras that cover the parking lot, so at least you will see who steals your bike.

Nice ride on sunday, great group of riding buddies, nice lunch at Silverstar, nice gravel near lost gap and meridian, dust was tough my sinus hurt today, did 100 mph the whole way home on I-20 when we split, I LOVE my big YAMAHA!!

Only took one pic all day and here it is

[backwoodsKLR]

Oh, that was where Greg had to split off to go wash his bike?

There are many more good roads in that area, a real maze of gravel roads!

(Ran off and forgot my memory card reader or I'd upload the 3 pics I took...)

It's not like I had $1000 in camera equipment and was taking semi-pro action shots of riders that will never been seen... Just a couple of used Super Tenere's, a green KLR, and some other people....

Anti,
Should have told us about the bass player so you could have had some fans there.

I'll cut you a little slack, only because I brought my helmet cam and forgot to charge the battery, so in 4+ hours of riding I managed to get 35 minutes of video before it died. I did get 5:30 of Ninja on gravel action though.

[backwoodsKLR]

Fine! (borrowed one from CyberVlad)

here is the smiling Gravel Ninjer!!!


Rev Jeffrides, leading us to the alter of overeating and buffett


What do you have to say about that, Jeff?


The dust trail from the Gemini Teneres running side by side...




And it's not a ride until someone has to tighten something on a KLR!!!

When I played the video back at 1.5x speed it looks like I was keeping a good pace on the gravel, then when it gets back to pavement looks like I hit warp 9

I can show you that part, pretty easy if you have a helper.
