Fun ride guys!

Chris & Tyler huge props for doing Redwood Retreat and Buzzard Lagoon!!!!!!!!

Quick posed at bux and we're off............................

not far along our journey...Chris pulls over. After cussing him out in my helmet for 25 minutes, I turn back to see whats wrong. His shift linkage had snapped.

I jam home, grab mine and he gets to work......

almost done.....

and onto the fun stuff- Redwood retreat and Mt Madonna rd (dirt).

Tyler cruising along.

Fun road!!!!!!!

oops, Tyler hit a bump....and bent his plate up snapping the frame.

some local artwork...

mapping our way home....

Buzzard lagoon was a real good idea on a sport bike.

brief stop to take in the scenery...and some M4B.

 

[Mortifer]

this was about the worst of it....having to go around the mud.

Here at the end of the dirt parts- even with all that mud, it wasn't bad, the bikes are still totally clean.

 

[McGrude]

Looks like fun. Can you give me a link to google maps for this road?

 

[Mortifer]

here's our total route- http://tinyurl.com/b2x2pg
(Google wouldnt include buzzard, so the route shows Eureka instead)


That first dirt section is Mt Madonna rd. (East side of Summit) http://tinyurl.com/cnsvga

pics!

Those roads are a LOT steeper than the pics show, btw. Add mud = no "gription."

G'luck cleaning the bikes!

That Looks like sooo much fun. I wish I could get a motard to take some of those roads. Looks like a Blast!

I didn't say thanks for the links, so um thanks!

 

[Mortifer]

I didn't say thanks for the links, so um thanks!

If you take that to the top (Pole Line Rd) (huge tree at intersection) and want more dirt, go north. You'll pass a church with huge white statues.....continue on Summit.....and then it turns to a dirt road....for like 15 miles....til you hit Loma Prieta, Mt Bache and back to Summit/35.

 

[Redfox]

[MRpilot]

[redline]

wow, looks like a fun ride! awesome riding by the sport bikers!

Mike, adjust your suspension...it seems to pogo one wheel off the ground when you brake and also when you gas the bike
