How about a little more notice!

I owed a friend some favors and he called them in today, I had a chance to say, how about next week but I thought, nah, no rides planned for Sunday anyways (other than riding over to his house).

Now I read there is a ride :dribble:

have fun

Thx's for the offer but already hooked up with another ride. Catch you next time.

No problem, guys.

I posted this ride on several forums. It started as a "possible" ride for our new ride group sponsored by Adventure Motorsports here in Monroe. There's several "newish" riders who I don't feel are ready for "railing" hard in the twisties....

thus the SLOW to MODERATE pace.

I do have a 3-pass blast run coming up on May 9th that will be ridden in reverse of most everyone else. More later.

I will see if I can make it. I had a molar ripped out of my skull today at the dentist and it hurts like hell, but if I can get my helmet on my head I will be there.

Well, three of us had a pretty good time. :clapping:

We left Monroe, zigged & zagged to Granite Falls, up Jordan Road to Arlington, up Highway 9 a tad then zigged and/or zagged to, around & from Lake C., up past Big Lake, twistied though the back country (found a new lake not on the map) to Clear lake, then east on the old highway, south on 530 to Darrington and home via Jim Creek Road, Jordan Road and the Lake Bosworth twisted route.
