Summer 2008

I've enjoyed this summer and have made a few fun motorcycle rides. In late June, six buddies and I rode from Sacramento to Yosemite NP, Las Vegas, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Monterey. The weather was fabulous if not a bit hot. It was about 110 degrees when we rode into Vegas!

Then, over the Labor Day weekend, I rode to the tiny town Lewiston CA, west of Redding, to meet my friends Debbie and Frank. I used to work with Debbie years ago in Seattle. We all rode together to the northern California coastal towns of Eureka and Crescent City and then through the Redwoods toward Grants Pass OR. I continued on solo to Medford and Klamath Falls OR. Along the ride home, as I crossed the bridge over Lake Shasta, I spotted a large aircraft floating in the lake. It is an aerial bomber used for fighting forest fires. What a beautiful bird!

The last week of September, I rode with my buddies Bob & Joe on a nice loop of central Oregon and northern California to get in one more good ride before the rainy weather sets in. We kept a close eye on the forecast and logged over 1200 miles in three days, only catching about one minute of light rain! It was a great trip to end the summer riding season!
