Well, looks like aside from parking lot strafing (got her parked at work, better parking than my neighborhood), I'm gonna be bikeless for a month. Guess it gives me a chance to get a new helmet and jacket, and to heal up. A little shaky about riding in traffic w/no brakelight, signals, or mirrors. Right now, she's a track bike, so I'll just do illegal b-trax at work. lol... The high idle also scares me a little, don't want to blow up the engine or anything. So, I won't be doing any rides soon, but I'm gonna celebrate when I get back on. I'm thinking of Woodside-La Honda to 35 to 9, then back up 9 to 35 to 1. Now, that's a scenic route from Redwood City to SF. lol... But, that'll probably be in the middle of May. Oh, well.

Scott call me - I have a loaner if you want to go with me to the Flat track race at the Cow Palace May first - I'm going to try and get in to say hi to Rich King and ask about the new motor - lol - I'll try to contact Ryan also. That ride sounds excellent - I'll tag if you want to have someone with you on a ride!

Cool, sounds like fun. I'm there. I'll try and give you a call tonight, if not tonight then tomorrow evening. And I'm totally down for a second on my re-inaugural ride. A third if Ryan's free. Even a fourth if Sean wants to come along. lol... Maybe make it a little longer, too, make it completely worthwhile. Nothing like a day in the hills, you know? I'll keep you posted on the when, etc.

Oh, by the way, Saro--Bessie would be a cool name, but she was Wendy already. The why is a long story... Well, not a long one, but one that I don't tell very often. It goes better over a cold beer anyway, so I'll save it for the next trip. Remind me to tell you... Okay, I'm not Court, but remind me anyway. lol...

lol... Nah, she always did prefer black. You know pale redheads look best in black and skintight, right? No, not me, her namesake. But, for a moment, I bet you got a mental image that you'll be trying to scrub off the backs of your eyelids for the next week! lol... Just one more service I provide.

Ready to move on!

LOL - I was thinking a yearly event, if you want a bi anual event - I'd guess the next best time might be September some time but the meeting would probably be better served - meeting in San Miguel. By then perhaps I'd have a different connection from 35 to 25 - with the difference in time used by the alternate route. Just a thought. I'm busy now just job hunting and hadn't given it much more thought. Right now I'm just making the bike whole again from the stupid wind drop - new signal waiting for - old one glitched some how and some sanding,filling, painting on the fairing - a few scratches - lol - gearing up to see the indoor short track race at the Cow Palace and see if I can ask Rich King about the new motor - and riding around as usual - don't know if I'm crashing the No Wine tour or not - those roads are old hat to me, and I already know that on a hot day they can be - let us just say - not as much fun - although the lake area is nice - mosquitoes aside - lol.

Where'd you say you wanted to meet, Ed? Sonora did you say? : ) Just a moderately self-serving suggestion, as there is a lot of great riding in that area. Nice posting of the extra pics from the trip, BTW.

Ryan sent them to me - no room at the other to post pics - but I knew that the folks here would enjoy them - yuppers - those are some great roads we took! - Funny thing is - about a quarter of the roads intersecting those roads are great rides also!

Alright. I'm going to have to do the best I can to make the ride next year. I have a long way to go to get there but where else can we get together with so many western blastards?

The goal is a centralized meeting place, at about 230 miles, which I think is close to the distance you'd be traveling.
I expect to make it this year and hope you will too(see posts from last year as to why I didnt) .

Sounds like its getting close to planning time, EZ?

Anybody have the actual dates for Easter, Good Friday and expected Spring break school closings.
Those holidays could be in conflict.

Well its getting to that time of year again! Who would be interested in a group ride for all Northern California and beyound riders to meet the Southern California and beyond Blast riders?
The time April 2, 3, and 4 - though it can be just the 2nd and 3rd for those pressed by time! Yes the anual San Louis Obispo - SLO Ride is on again and I hope to meet a lot of the western USA Blast riders this year! How about it folks - a chance to finally put a face to the names/nonplumes of folks you've been conversing with is yours and the rides are fun! Speak up if your interested so I can get rooms and rides arranged. Last year was great fun and a great group of rides - to there, around there, and back again! - 3 unique routes, and new additions planed for this year! Well Blastards - how about it - ready to ride?

Does anybody,especially those with kids, know when Easter and all its prospective holidays fall? Spring break, Easter recess,?
I'm trying to figure out the odds of me (and anyone else) getting that time off.

I officially have the proposed week of the SLO ride off,including Monday. However the problem that I had is Easter vacation is 3/28 thru 4/3, so I had to take the whole week off instead of a few days.
Unless we get a lot of people who cant go because of Easter break, Its time to get planning.
