Redding Anthacite Coal Ride - Saturday Feb 25

[phoo]

Sign at the place we ate lunch. 3pm, and let's just say one of the patrons had his drinks cut off.


I have some video, some of which may be good, but I missed part that I really, really wanted. I'll get around to editing it sometime.

Okay, guys. I'm on the hook. I found a great set of footage and took notes on start and stop times. I'm uploading them to my computer now, then I have to wait while movie maker processes the nearly 2G file so I can then chop it into the pieces I want, but it'll be ready either Monday or Tuesday night, with the latest being Wednesday if I do hockey Tuesday night.

Man, I'm jealous. You guys had the best guide out there you could ever want. My first time was with Joe and it was epic. I'm starting to look into bikes again. Seems like I may need one with a tag for rides like this, just to make life a little easier coming and going. I did this ride once with a non plated CR250. How much slab did you all end up doing?

[phoo]

No slab but maybe a half mile of pavement (or do dirt riders call anything paved "slab?"), split between two stints. My bike wasn't plated though it's street legal and had a mud-covered plate that looked like it should have been a license plate.

If we didn't go into town for lunch, we wouldn't have been anywhere near any pavement all day.

This is not the big one that I want to post, but it's a shorter one that I used to learn my way around the Sony Vegas Platinum 11 suite I'm trying out.

Who was it that bit it there at the end?

[phoo]

That was John, Hare's friend who joined us. He was riding a KTM 200.

It must be something about those 200s!

Mine seems to be CONSTANTLY looking for an opportunity to lay down and take a nap

It might be the orange bikes in general. I have never had a bike (520 EXC) that so easily rode me into so many situations where I needed to step off.

Dont know if the orange bikes toss you off more often, but they definatly toss you further.
