Norther California - Snow even

[OrangevaleFJR]

The ride included a stop for coffee at the Auburn Starbucks. RogDeb were there to drink coffee and say hello. It was nice for me to meet them and to also see an FJR in R1 red. Cool looking!

The people that rode with us were:

MadMike

Bluestreek 2up

Weekend Rider

Manager

and Ric In Sac 2up (get to work!)

Route:

Started at 49 and Bell Road in Auburn

49 to Lincoln Road

Lincoln Road to Foresthill Road

Foresthill to 49

49 to Cool

193 to Georgetown

Wentworth Springs Road to the snow (about 27 miles the snow was soon after Uncle Tom's Cabin turn off)

U turn back to Georgetown on 193

193 to Placerville (some really fun twisties where we all experience some rear end sliding as accelerating through turns)

then we all split and went home from there.

Red from Left to Right, doubleback then Green from there.

Great company and a fun ride made for a really nice Sunday. The roads were wet where there was shade, and there were spots where pine needles were scattered. Some spots where small mudslides left dirt on the road added to the various situations that required us to ride carefully. 193 up to Placerville from the American River was the best pace of the day.

Sherri needed the camera for her day with glass art, so I have no pics to share. I think I saw a camera pop out here and there so post up!

Bluestreek had his camera, but I don't know if he got any pictures of us doing our "turn around" where the road was closed. If only I had ordered those "Avon knobbies".

Still the ride was waaayyy fun! Lunch in Georgetown then a brisk ride down 193 to Placerville...yeah, baby!

The girls went off looking for that special bush ( Not George )

Thanks for the pics Bluestreek. I almost forgot about Russ, the guy on the '04 FJR that was so surprised to see 5 FJR's while out on his ride! I hope he can join us for the next ride!

 

[madmike2]

No pictures of us riding through the snow patches? Were you a might busy? Didn't even get a picture of us turning around at the snow-blocked crest?

TWN hasn't complained, yet, so I thought I'd jump in!

Whatta fun time! It ws way kewel meeting Brad and Bob. And yes, Russ was amazed at riding up and seeing 5 FJRs! What'll he think if he makes Reno?

 

[Bluestreek]

I haven't figured out how to clicky the picture makey thingy and keep the bike from fallin over. And the wifey is technickly challenged and can't push the button thingy on the picture maker thing and sit on the back of the bike at the same time. :bleh:

 

[OrangevaleFJR]

ha ha...that makes Sherri technically capable! Must be all those years testing software.

Heck 10 minutes later and it would have been sycronized tip overs.
