Reno Ride Report

[CJ Rider]

I really wish we took more pics, but I guess we were just too busy riding this year. We did get this one of my Kawasaki sister and her Buddy!

'Just wanted to post this pic because it's such a cool view. Plus, HUGE thanks to all those folks who led rides (Strick, Longtime, Bobby, Kiwi, CSL, and many others), encouraged that second try (especially FarmerJohn), picked us up when we fell (I dunno what the guy's name was because I was slightly dilerious from landing on my head), agreeing to ride along because I was scared (bbbom pronounced b-BOOM), and just making the trip SO MUCH FUN (everybody)!!!
:) :) :)

Cj - I'm L'ingMAO. I forgot I shared the story of the friends who called themselves the Small Efficient Women. Got-to-say -- you and Mimi do indeed, though, meet all three criterion -- even if you're not planning on taking over the world!

Great pics, too.

Now I see why you were twisting my arm so hard! I had no idea you were scared, you seemed quite confident. I can't believe how fast you were ripping across the desert on that little bike. In fact I still have a slight ringing in my ears from you blasting past me WFO on the road back to the parking lot. BTW, you would be fine following Karl so when are you guys coming over? ;)

Great pics too! And YES, thanks so much to everyone that led the rides and helped out it was a great time :thumb: .

Great riding. Enjoyed it all. Did not enjoy seeing CJ stoppie. It looked brutal to me but turned out OK. When I picked up the KX100 and turned it around I must admit it is a lot lighter than my KTM 520. CJ got on and finished a good ride. Awesome day of riding.

ps. wish I could go on a lady's ride only and mix it up.

George, it seems like whenever the ladies get together for a ride you've been MIA, what's up with that??  Thanks for letting me take a spin on the 525, next time maybe I will want to actually take it on some trails...:scream:

Nat truth is you gals scare me. I'll swap bikes with you on the next trail ride.

sounds like fun!!!

See that last picture.

You should see the downhill on the other side. I was trying to convince the other riders to go ahead down. Instead, Jen (CJ rider) just revved up her KX100 put it on the backwheel and shredded that monster decline. What a GAL!

Ah, George, it was YOU! Thanks, man. It DID look like ya picked up a small toy instead of a real motorcycle; LOL! Natalie- Your tumble into the sage brush was equally impressive with also a good outcome! We're all just trying hard when we tumble, right?

Right :thumb:  That sage brush had velcro arms, I swear. :ugg:

CJ, you KICK ASS, Woman!!!  For such a small package of pixie sprite, you pack a womp of energy when its time to make things happen.  I kid you not, this woman RAN up and down hills, saving the less graceful, doled out encouragement left and right, then lead the troops on to more fun stuff...I am humbled and inspired!
