    A rough and fun 50 miles

    Ryan "rfranks" and I went out exploring the local territory on his KO and my HKO. It was a wide variety of terrain ranging from pave roads, dirt paths, gravel roads, and even rail road tracks. Note to self, USE CAUTION ON TRAIN TRACK BRIDGES. 50 Miles in all and I had a blast. These bike are so much better riding along side another. It great turning heads and getting praise from the old timers. Even kids think they are "cool".

    That was a good ride. My bike has a few new battle wounds, they build character.

    I just cleaned mine up. I got very fortunate, no new nicks or scratches. Sorry no pictures, but there's some excellent momories. Drafting back and forth on a rural country road at 45 mph was the best. Almost having my front tire swallowed up in a large gap in the rail road ties doing 20 mph on a narrow train bridge was the scarest.

    The weather has been beautiful here lately in Cental California. Middle to Upper 60's with a slight breeze and sunny all day. It's been the same for a week now. We have to enjoy it while we can. It won't be long before it will be stuck in the 100's.

    We did another 60 miles today. Mostly paved, gravel, and dirt roads. We managed to find some pretty cool trails and a dry river bed to run around in. We have to enjoy the good weather. in a month or so, it will be too hot to ride.
    These bikes are a blast to ride but, are 10 times better when you ride next to or with another.
