Got out for a bit

[rboe]

Had the GRiso out yesterday. 40 degrees F. so the electrics were turned on. Didn't really need them and it was in the high 60's when we left the coffee house so most of my gear was stowed (thank goodness for large tank bags).

Doing the Tortilla Flat run on Wednesday. I plan on riding the Griso out there (couple years ago I froze so I'll be kitted up with electrics and the Griso has the poop to feed them all) while a buddy will ride my CB1100. Plan is to swap for the ride home.

Not all that keen on the ride this time; too many guys wanting to show off on a very poorly maintained road and in general just too many people. I prefer solo rides if we're riding. But there is some very interesting iron that shows up there so I'm very keen on seeing some interesting bikes. Then getting the hell out of there. Two years ago when I was there last I picked up a hunk of metal on the Apache Trail about 6 miles from the road. Did not get home until 2 in the morning. Long day - no tire repair kit - left it at home.
