DS Riders Saturday 4/12

Unread postby LeeDavis » Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:09 am

Brick lead us on a fun DS ride north of his place yesterday with quite a mix of bikes - Brick/Tenere, Chris/Tiger, Lee/KLR, Broz/DRZ. The lighter bikes were able to scamper away but then tire pressure was lowered for the big bikes and that evened things up a bit. Broz got a little too scampery one time and put his bike down a bank on the side of the road. Very entertaining and it was retrieved with no worse than a few character building scratches to Broz and the bike.

The roads are in great condition though Brown Mt Rd might be one to avoid on weekend afternoons. It's a dust bowl with cars/jeeps/trucks and I'm still picking dirt boogers out of my eyes this morning. Excellent lunch at Christa's.

Rendezvous at Brick's house.

Roadside attraction: not sure what it was but much scenery along the way is gorgeous.

Table Rock in the background. No, we don't do hiking.
