Labor Day Ride: Saturday

By -

The remnants of Ernesto failed to dissuade us from our ride this Labor Day weekend to western North Carolina. On the way to Andrews we stopped off at Caesar's Head State park (pic above) hoping to get a scenic view. But thick fog obsured everything more than a few dozen feet in front of us (which made the ride through the curvy mountain roads quite interesting for a while). Dropping below the fogline in the mountains and heading northwest, the ride was clear and warm Saturday afternoon as we made our way up through Brevard, west across the Blue Ridge Parkway and then down 441 and 74 to Andrews, North Carolina.

I wanted to thank Lisa Davis for inviting me to join ABioBikers...I didn't even know this blog existed until I saw her at work last week in Foster City. For those of you that don't me, I've been riding for 19 years, sportbikes the entire time. Raced with the AFM in Northern California for five years, and since have done a number of track days and many, many rides around California. With all our weather in 2006, I haven't ridden much yet this year (instead, I've been squeaking in bicycle rides between rain storms), and my 2001 CBR needs to get in for an interval service (32,000 miles!), a new chain and tires, and a Penske shock rebuild, but I will have it on the road very soon and will be posting reports and photos from rides. BTW, I am also a track photographer for Laguna Seca and Infineon Raceways, so I will be posting links to photos from events here if you're interested in seeing them. Be seeing you soon (on the road, I hope)! Here is a link to my current Spo

Well, the first ABioBikers West Ride to Alice's didn't go exactly as planned. We ended up at Alice's, but unfortunately our ride was a rental Camry. Don't ask. Scott, myself and Meredith (a totally awesome chic and forensic customer) drove up on Thursday, Jan. 29th and hung out with the bikers. It was a gorgeous day. The place was packed with the leather and tattoos folks eating some pretty bad food. But that's not why you go. It was quite nice in spite of the 4-wheels up and back. Thanks, Scott! Better luck with the next planned ride.
