Another weekend riding..... Jan. 30, 2010

[BusyWeb]

Hello, there.
Here are the ride video clips for this weekend.
As my route was little bit complicated, I separated them into three parts.

Part 1: nothing special
Part 2: Pine Canyon Road, my the most liked bike-road around here; at the 3:55 you will see the most smart gas station guard in the world... ha ha ha
Part 3: Rock Inn Cafe (biker's pitstop) and very fun road Bouquet Canyon Rd (enjoyable twisties throughout the ride)

I put Part 2 at the top >> because I like most among them so that you won't misss it ^^; ha ha ha

Part 2: Pine Canyon Road

Busy, once again I am almost speechless. Excellant videos that keep us from going crazy while waiting for better weather. Part 3 was my favorite then you got back into the city. Scary change from the rest of the day.

Hi, Mr. WW.
I really glad that you have enjoyed them... makes me happy.

Yes, until I see the city clips I didn't feel much how scary the riding on the city was.
I felt that I'm going to get inside some kind of machinery... when I saw those clips.
That's why I put text comments >> Jungle of Cages.. ha ha ha

Thanks

You have some great roads out your way. Did I actually see snow by the side of the road for a few seconds there? Your video editing skill is coming along nicely I see. Do you plan to add some music in the background soon?

I did 106 miles today. It never got above 31.1 F, and the coldest was 23.0. The bike has a digital thermometer built in. We have wall to wall snow right now. The roads are mostly clear, though, and I had a good ride. It'll get better when my big windshield comes in. It's on order from Cee Baily, but they make them all to order. Right now I just have the little Spitfire from the GZ.

Thanks..
I really don't have much information with Music; can't remember the song titles that I like.. ha ha ha
And don't have music library at home..
But, I'll try it later on ..
The temperature wasn't that low nor hight; just cold feeling with layered jacket/pants,
however, road side snow and mountain snow did stay on..
May be the altitude ???

The bigger windshiled will give you much comfort, that I had experienced with GZ and current bike.
Even at the summer time, it helps riders on the highway .
Spring will come soon.....

Hello, Mr. JWR.
I saw your comments at the ADV.
Wow, ADV members/posting are huge....
Sometimes, I couldn't find even my post that I posted just one day ago.. ha ha ha.
Thanks for your comments.

Yes it is a big site.

More about the stories than the ride.

Looks like the camera is working good.

Just another day in Paradise.

Keep rubbing it in while we get flooded out over here.

We've had our share of the wet stuff the last few weeks with more on the way. Bear in mind, even though we must suffer through 70 degree days with blue skies in the dead of winter, 65 miles from my house is Wrightwood, where there is two feet of snow (and I went skiing Monday morning.) Wrightwood is at about 5900 ft and the base of the ski resort is about 6600. (I think the peak is about 8K.) Because of the proximity of extreme elevations, you can easily ski, get in a warm desert ride and go surfing, all in the same day. And maybe even get in an earthquake or two!

I rode the Suzi up there in November '08 to pick up my pass. That trip forced me to earn my freeway Merit badge as you get to a point where there just aren't any alternatives available. I avoided them for half the trip on the way up, but it added three hours and I didn't have that kind of time for the return. There wasn't any snow yet, but it was mid 40's near the base. I normally take the Suburban up there, but it would be fun to ride up on the Strat once if I could figure out how to carry the ski's. I suppose I could rent. You can look at the conditions up there at www.mthigh.com (http://www.mthigh.com) Excellent views of the Palmdale/Lancaster valleys from the chair lift and the top of the East Resort. Lots of good motorcycle roads up there too.

Alan, you would fit right in here. Ski, fish, golf, ride, mountain climb, mountain bike, motorcycle, dirt bike, sailing, wind surfing all in one day if you choose. Sorry no earthquakes but a good wind every afternoon. Squamish is the Outdoors Recreation Capital of Canada.

Thanks for the tip. I once came within a hair of Canadian banishment (yes, there is such a thing!) and I have not set foot in the Great White North since. Coincidence? Perhaps.

Prior to my nasty run in with Canadian Customs (they took my passport - and my plane ticket! House arrest at the Toronto Sheraton!) I had visited Vancouver (several times), Toronto (lots), Montreal (a few) and Winnipeg (in Feburary - effing cold - my eyeballs froze.) But I haven't been there in maybe ten years now.

I do have a trip to Whistler Blackcomb on my "Things I Might Do Someday, But Better Get to Quick Cause I'm Not Getting Any Younger" list, but my skiing days are quickly waning and it might already be too late.

[Water Warrior 2]

Alan, come here in the summer when we have temps more to your liking. Come on the bike and ride #99 from Vancouver to Lillooet. It's a very scenic ride and best on a bike.

[alanmcorcoran]

I'll add it to the list.
