Always nice to meet Triumph riders. Keep an eye on this section for the next little ride through the foothills.

It was good to see all you guys there.
sorry that we actually didn't get to ride together more. This year's ride was kinda weird. For some reason we left as a fairly large pack instead of breaking up into little knots.
Nobody I know actually did the whole ride with the group they started with. somehow everbody got seperated.

The trip up and over Little T sent me into a tail spin. The pace was so slow that we were holding up cars. It was really frustrating for me. I was barely in 2nd gear and still had to use the brakes to keep from hitting the person in front of me. we were down to 20mph in places.

It's not cool or safe to just be passing whole groups of people you don't know and don't ride with in the corners. You just got to wait and play the game. Be nice, be good, be safe.

Luckely everybody stopped for gas on the other side, so Dasco and I made a quick attempt to find JRH and then we made a break for it.
(I thought for sure JRH would do the same and be hanging out at the top of Aliso. We always stop there. It's tradition)

We were actually able to find a little open road and open it up a little.
The ride up and back on Uppers is always worth it.


If anybody wants to ride then just shoot me or JRH a PM.
don't worry about the "pace". It's about having fun, hanging out and decompressing. "Waiting" is not a bother.
We stop on the side of the road just to talk and hang out anyway.

Let let dasco fool you. That boy can ride. He was working that speedMaster quite nicely.

see yall. Hopefully on the road.
