Been busy as hell playing catchup, but I arrived home safe and sound.

Going to go riding tomorrow and perhaps Sunday/Monday as well...

Home safe.  After Genia decided to stay on the coast Monday night, I spent 3 days going up to Crater Lake, then back to 36, 3, 299, and a couple of backroads that were pretty interesting--Cecilville Road & Sawyers Bar, very scenic but not go fast roads.  I was checking in with her every day and the shop got her bike patched up enough they said it would make it back to the Bay Area, so we rode home together yesterday.  She wants to take it back to the shop here that didn't really fix it in the first place.

Despite the fact I have *two* separate devices to keep track of my overall mileage I didn't think to use either one... All I know is when I left it was 32K-something and now it's 34K-something.   Smile

She was so happy to be back on the bike and we had a great ride home down 1.  At our last break in Pt. Reyes Station, it took a couple of tries for her to get it started and we decided not to stop again.  I offered to follow her to her place but once she hits her exit, it's downhill all the way and she said I didn't need to.  I talked to her after we both got home, she made it home safely.  I hope they can figure out what the problem is since she's had the same part fail twice now...she loves that bike and it's the only sport bike that fits her.

Good news that she made it home, and yup, she sure does fit that bike well.



Nice woman, good news.

I made it back by Tuesday after a night at Lake Almanor near Chester.

WARNING FELLOW CAMPERS: Chester (maybe just the lake) seems to be Skeeter City! I wore long sleeves and pants the whole time and still got 15 or so bites.

I'm pretty sure the little &*%^$^'ers will be killed off by some cold nights by the time we get there for WCRM4.5. I spent Monday touring around Lake Tahoe, hitting a Sierra pass (Monitor) than off into Nevada on some empty roads.

Once home I was off again for a bicycle rally in Paso Robles, CA. Did a century (100 miles in a day) which I'm proud of. Embarassment

After reading all the tire replacement/wear posts I feel vindicated by my decision for new rubber for both Triumph and bicycle.  Razz

Thanks everybody, especially Dr. G and the awesomely named Beck-suki, Andrew and Jerry for the campsite, JPred for ride Sunday, Big Block and Mrs BB for ride and photos of Avenue of the Giants and fun conversation at the Eel River Brewpub.

See you in Chester!

The only issue I see with this is that large sections of the planet are covered with water... personally, I don't like to ride on or under water.  I propose that we only take over the parts of the planet covered with dirt and pavement.


Have you ever been on a jet ski?   Cool
