 CLICK ON PIC FOR LARGER FORMAT
Hey Guys,
We went to Green Valley this morning around 6:00am and rode until about 2:30pm.
Conditions were beautiful, only one break down. Clutch cable came off on you guessed it....the blue bike LMAO, opened the case and ghetto rigged it for the rest of the trip.
Just cause you ride blue doesent mean that we will leave you for the vultures....that came to a decision after we all voted away from him LMAO!
The climbs were awesome and the terrain was almost perfect with some moisture trapped in the topsoil.
Went down a few times myself as I am in need of a let Hip Replacement after a long 12 year old injury. I am having a hard time keeoing the 450 up on the left side when I need to correct the bike with my left leg balance. Hurts like hell and I am only 25, x-ray this week for the first ime in 12 years. I kinda am hoping that I can go full synthetic LMAO!
Take the pain and make the gain!
Take care CRFr's

Sorry to hear about the hip!
Looks great, we had that nice dirt ride last week in the trees. The next day was too wet.
I'm really jealous as that was probably the last ride for me for the year without some travel. Looking at snow on the ground. |

Thanks guys, the hip issue will get resolved one way or another.
Yea the terrain was perfect, up on top of the mountains were the only spots where everything was too dry for proper hook up in the turns, everything low in the valley was nice and moist.
So I am just writing this and it is 10:45am, I am now sure that the right hand is fractured in at least one spot LOL, sucks but oh well. Comes with the territory.
Get out and ride fellas, the temps are very nice right now. It never got above 60 yesterday, a little too cold but itbeats being too hot. |

You young kids. No pain, no pain. I think you're just saying that so I don't  when I get to ride with you. That's OK because they call me crash also. LOL
That sucks with the hip.
Hope to ride with you soon. That's only if you ride with old farts. |

It's a long story why you have not heard from me. When your as old as me you forget a lot. I forgot how to turn on the computer, and also my password. Also at the old people's home they only let us on the computer twice a week.
Lets plan a ride soon. I need to fix my starter first, and the ribs are still in a bit of pain. The first part of next month I should be ready to go. |

Maybe in a few weeks we can get some of the guys to hit Rowher now that it's open. I will make sure they are the older guys so you can keep up.  |
