Ride Reports_Let's Hear 'em
Last Saturday, 4/19:
'33' to Lockwood Valley on through to a stop at Pine Moutain for some lunch..on to Cerro Noreste. Back the same route...
Front side of the '33' is good all the through to the Stage Coach stop, the back side reminded me of Malibu...ocassional rocks in lane, but nothing major. Lockwood Valley is still running water through most of the creek crossing spots...the entry to Lockwood is still flowing the heaviest, but not bad. There is still one spot on Lock that is pure gravel, both directions..a stretch of a about 100' or so...so be careful, signs are posted. Cerro is a dream as usual...the fast sweepers at the very end are a little bumpy, subsequently, there's a feeling of slidin around a bit...but still, the road is clean and empty...
Friday and Saturday 4/25 and 4/26:
ACH-I headed up to ACH on Friday evening about 6:30pm...Stout was still making runs...he passed me twice...at both encounters, I had some kind of fucking Spidey sense to slow down or something...my 'killer bee' pipe still blaring away at low rpms...lots of commuters heading thru AFH on their way back to the desert...so that sucked. All roads are clear and clean...
Rode Saturday am headed up at 7:30 or so...no LEO's, some cyclists climbing, couple of caravans headed to God only knows where at that time...
Rode the dickens out of ACH from the AFH turnoff, the road has suffered a little bit due to heavy equipment, it's bumpy but still fun as hell. I chilled at Newcombs for all of fifteen minutes and chose to avoid nine mile and shoot straight thru down ACH...again, Stout was coming up...but, again I had rolled off the throttle and put my halo on top of my helmet...
Rode the same day in the evening, again, 6:30 at the base...talked to 3 guys sweatin' from the trek down the hill...Freakin HOT! No LEO's to report. This was by far the most fun I have had on the road to date...I did not see one sport bike the entire trip up...matter of fact, I got to Newcombs and I was the only bike up there...never seen that before. The way down was a blast, I never get on it on ACH past the turn of for AFH...but tonight it was on...super fun.
Luca, if you try to talk shit about not posting up rides it's because I don't like you.
Carry On... [thumbsup]
