Fueling up for the day's ride.

Hey guys (and gal)--what a great trip! The weather couldn't have been better up in Townsend and the surrounding area. Here we are starting off the first morning getting fueled up and ready to go. Primary destination--Deal's Gap and the infamous Dragon's Tail.


Heading Out
Post-Dragon Gang

John P., Doug, John C., Cathy, Chris W., Kevin R., Lisa D. (and Zoe), Rob C., John O., Bob N., Bear, William S. and Matt S.




Lisa and John chillin' in the mountains.
I'd like to say "thank you" to Rob for organizing this trip; Bob, William and John P. for doing the grocery shopping; Chris, Bear and Bob for cooking yummy meals; and Doug for his outstanding advice and guidance along the way. Thanks to everyone for such great rides, discussions and more material for making fun of Rob and Kevin. (Ahh-the dangers of getting everyone together in the same place!!)
Special thanks to William for making sure the pregnant chic was well stocked with chocolate!!
We'll see you again on the next trip in the Fall.

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

Possible last ride of the Season?

Doug, I, and Matthew Powell made it out this weekend. We met on the BRP and then wended our way to Kentucky. We departed at 7am Sunday and the temp was 31-37 (depending on where you were). We climbed a hill into the Sun and the temp rose to 55 in the course of about 5 minutes. I was "macho" and went without the heated jacket and the Sun was great. Then, we decended into the valley again and it dropped below 40! This put a chill in me that I could not shake without stopping for coffee. Note to self: "You haveheat: use it!". On a back road, this 18 wheeler flat bed shot out in front of us and was just tearing up the road. He was doing 25-30 in the corners and hitting mid 60s in the straights. If a guy can drive a truck like this dude,there's no excuse for a car not being able to go the speed limit! When the truck got to a stop sign, he waved us by. He was a great guy, and I was kind of sad because it was an experience following a truck that could move l
