I've just finished editing the pictures from what our group calls "the big ride." We try to do one of these every year. Last year was Bella Coola and many parts of Canada, this year we rode the Sierras in northern California.

The route is here: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=131469

I will be making a photo book of our trip using one of the many online bookmaking services for each of the riders. I don't yet have all the captions finished. I expect I will be spending another week or so doing that. Like most rides, the pictures are of primary interest to the riders and riding junkies. Normal civilians just don't get it.

Here is a micro snapshot of the ride. One pic per day. Picking just one pic was hard. There were lots of good ones. 11 days, 11 pics. The book has about 125.

Some of the ride reports posted here are damn near works of art, mine is sort of lame. But we had fun.

One final note: the word of the ride was "hoon." One of the riders in our group is a university professor and seriously wacky. After a particularly delightful day of twisties he accused us of "hoonery."

"Hoon," and its derivatives became the word of the ride. Here's a link to Hoonery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoon
