Rocky Roads and I have decided to meet regularly at Hollister or Carnegie to get in some seat time. If you recall, she is just about done recuperating from a severely broken foot from a July accident on the bike. I'm recuperating from a severely bruised ego ;) What better reason to start out the new year with a good friend and some fun trails??
We meet at 8:30 since we know the park will fill up rather quickly and we might risk getting turned away at the gate. It's a two hour drive from Modesto for me and just over an hour from Monterey for Rocky Roads. We pull up in the parking lot at exactly the same time. After spending a good 45 minutes chatting and talking about what has been going on in our lives we start to unload the bikes. I have not seen RR since the Chick's ride last January, so it has been a whole year.
Not a surprise, my battery is dead. I have not rode the bike since October, so I have to kick it over. RR's battery was dead too, as she has not rode since her accident in July. Her wonderful hubby had switched out the battery from his KTM525 before she left, so she was good to go. I miss my button :(
We ride Harmony Trail, Olivewood Trail, High Road Trail; the fun Green/Blue trails. Afterall we are here to boost our confidence!! The conditions at Hollister were PERFECT with wet dirt and no mud holes or super slick sections. We recall the ride we had with Farmer John and Kav and doing sections of Troll Trail. That was fun!
Rocky Roads decides she needs a confidence booster and plows up Competetion Hill much to my surprise. I have never attemted Comp Hill and don't think I will for a while :nener: She executes the hill flawlessly and I wait for her down at the bottom to give her a big thumbs up :cool:
It was a pure pleasure to ride with Rocky Roads, we had so much fun and it felt good to be back on the bike.
