Anyone drive all the way out to Gorman just to get turned around?
Anyone head out to Santa Ynez for the WORCS race at Zaca Station? How was it?
Anyone hit up any sweet trails?

I took hwy 14 south ended up in Valencia where the family and I negated several short hill climbs, (escalators) through a maze of obstacles (PEOPLE) and spent a ton of money on some rather fly street gear for the wife and son. I purchased two sets of new tread (sandels and running shoes) and then started back. We were bogged down with all the expended energy so we made a pit stop at Johnny Carino's and felt as though I clogged a major vain leading to my right arm with Sicillian fire sticks and pasta (Yum yum). When then hit the trail and made it home in one piece with plenty of left over food to clog the other arm tomorrow night. :P
No actual riding this weekend. I had to make up for racing both days last weekend. Planning on stepping up the training and doing plenty of riding this week and hitting the track this weekend.
Hope everyone had a great week as well.

Hit the O.C. Duallies dual sport ride out of Beaumont Saturday. Rode with Yellowjacket and Marc from R3. Rode 140 miles up and around Idylwild. Had some great single track and lots of fire roads, great riding buddies, including Marshall Cooper from 100's and Ron from Escondido. Left home around 5:00 A.M. and got back at 8:00 P.M. totally exhausted and smiling from ear to ear.

did not get to ride, but Earl Shuler has my suspenders! i am hoping for another gear for ruts or what ever i race next.

two out of three not bad. got half way to gorman before keith called and gave me the news. so the next day drove to the WORCS race. should have stayed home. very rough and extremely dusty condition. oh well at least i got to ride.

I could not believe it when I was talking to friends who went to the WORCS race I have been to that track on SEVERAL occasions and it has also been primo riding conditions... some places just aren't made to handle lots of riders and wear and tear.. too bad it wasn't as successful as they had hoped.. Heard it was rather dangerous...
I texted as many Viewfinder members as I had in my cell phone re: Gorman .. Unfortunately I do not have all of your cell #s!!
I didn't go riding.. I sunned myself next to Jeff & Susy's pool and sipped some wine! Sunday we cleaned house and worked in the backyard..
P.S I got my FIRST EVER speeding ticket last week.... they suckkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Well.... the first one she couldn't talk her way out of... ::)

best bumper sticker Ive seen, "' hey cop, i don't have any coffee, cleavage or donuts, so just wright the damn ticket!". ;D

Myself, Jon, and Jeff hit the Bishop area for 60 miles of single track and daily limits of trout. That place is something special even the golf course was a blast. Tried to call the Brians but left messages for Brian O'Dor by mistake. I wondered why you guys didn't call me. I got a ticket coming home on Sunday thanks to the CHP.
-
so sorry, put my number in your book. was hoping to hear from you while you were here. if you get pulled over again up here, just remember one very important thing. don't call me!!! :o ;D he he
-
Wonder where Jenn learned her driving techniques that got her a speeding ticket ??? Know she can blame it on dad!!! I bet you both can get a 'driving school-on-line' discount ;D Jenn, Dad might pay your on-line-school fee if you take the test for him ::)

Yeah I can't say anything bad about the officer he was straight forward and just doing his job. I gotta get used to this diesel I wouldn't have had this problem with my gas truck. I was diong 75 he gave me a 60 in a 55. I think his name was Rivera or Ramirez. I think we found a trail you told me about in the mountains between Potela and Warm Springs near a mine over the mountain WOW!
-
does not sound like a bishop chipy. you may not remmember, but on the east side of the valley south of poleta is a large canyon, called black canyon. next tiem your up with no snow, ill take you up black across the top of the whites and back down poleta. fraken funtastic ride, one of my favorites!!!!!! 8)

O.K. now I'm feeling a club play day here. Where can we camp/ride on green stickers up around you and is there somewhere that would be cooler this summer? We really need to get a club outing together.
-
Maybe in the Bishop area?? I love that whole area!!! Seeing that the Double B's live out there and are familiar with the terrain, perhaps that would work?? I just want to go to Schat's Bakery daily.. haha!

well dwon in the valley its going to hot! :P no way around it. but there is browns town in bishop. it has lots of trees and is great as it is close to town and offers some hook ups. power and water, no sewer. or you can head up west sr 168 and there are lots of camp grounds around bishop creek, lake sabrina, south lake. even a resort at cardinal ladge or habeggers. i dont think its called habeggers anymore though. anyway the usfs has a web site to make resveravtions. if you stay in the valley at one of the county camp ground like tinnimaha or taboose (both south of big pine, but both have a small creek). or mill pond (north of bishop a few miles and right next to the open desert!) could be fun eitherway. mammoth area has lots of camp grounds like deadman creek campgound. i go in july usaully, little riding, lots of beer drinking and fishing, its hot and dusty. very little snow this year, so all the creeks will be low. but give me a call and we can set something up. also im planning a street ride (cruiser bike sofar) from bishop up 120 out of benton CA (45 miles north of bishop) to lee vining to reno nv. stay the night (friday) for the all you can eat sea food buffet friday night and then to virgina city and rout 361 end in lake tahoe on sat night, then back to the atlantis again. back home on sunday.

Sounds like it will be too hot or can't ride right out of camp. I've stayed up by Bishop Creek, real nice but other than FS fire roads don't think there's much riding. The lack of snow pack is a big factor though, all the creeks might be pretty low.
-
if you stay in tinnimaha you can ride out of camp and also toboose creek. or my driveway. i ride from my house. july is when it gets real hot, so june is not too bad. also poleta is an ohv area, so dry camping is available. if you dont mind a little xtra drive, the hot tubs in fish lake valley are the way to go. 1 1/2 hours north of bishop.

Jenn - John? You mean you both got tickets? Wow! I've been off the road for sometime now...you gotta watch out for those new kids in the black and whites. They have some new fangled thing called LIDAR. Supposed to be better than RADAR. Oh well.....Just remember about half of the road guys hate me...so you're taking your chances with the name game....you Just could get "speed banked"!
Love Lee
P.S. I think I'll go wait for Big Al when he goes down the pass.......
-

He forgot to mention he was also pulling Jeff's Weekend Warrior at the time.... Doesn't that make it twice as bad?! I think they both need the naughty corner... ::)
But yes Donn - we are enjoying the truck. Had occasion one cold night to use the seat warmers and it was quite delightful...Now if we could just get the seats to massage...
