Palomar Solo Ride

[deathblow]

Went to Paly by myself. Had an incredible time finally being to ride normal.

At the gas station filling up ;).

[deathblow]

At Mother's. Was pretty cold at the top. From the bottom, the upper half of the mountain was shrouded in mist...

[deathblow]

Gloomy skies... Okay yeah I was bored.

[deathblow]

Chilly!

[deathblow]

Another at Mother's.

[deathblow]

From the lookout.

I'm glad you had a great time out there Al.. I haven't rode for a couple of months now. oh well!!!!! It was a nice day 2 ride huh!!!

[deathblow]

Sorry no action shot, was all by my lonesome.

[gahonee]

Wow Al, you haven't been out in awhile have you? I'm sure you had an awesome despite the groggy weather :)

[gahonee]

drag Dee along with you next time.

[M@m@ Dee]

nice pixz Al.. Your bike looks so clean..
you must not have been riding then..LOL

[deathblow]

I actually have not been to Palomar since June, I think. That was with GPTECHMASTEREXTRAORDINAIRE. Even then, my knees hurt so bad it was agony. Today, they felt about 90%, and hopefully will be completely better in the next month or so.

Haven't washed my poor bike since the beginning of the year. Haven't changed the oil since last December, :(. Time to change all that. Maintenance day anyone?

[M@m@ Dee]

HAHAH.. you need maintenance... me too Al.. Well I hope that your knees feels much better.

The beast is alive...bout time...now you have to roll out on the 10th so I can belive it with my two eyes:eek:


:rockon: :rockon:

[deathblow]

LOL, yep. I think I remember some dude jumping on my back as I was squatting one trackday, long ago...

Really though, it is encouraging to feel my knees actually get better, it has been a tough year riding wise because of the pain when bending my leg. Just looking for some normality.

Thank you for the kind words. I have Mondays and Wednesdays off, so I will be riding Palomar those days, sometimes heading out to Potrero. You are welcome to join me, and I will take it easy to make sure you have a safe ride.

It is nice, and regrettably I am guilty of not taking better advantage of it, but I have my reasons.

Whatup homie. Sorry I haven't got at you in a while. Wedding, moving is no excuse but it's the best I have. I'm really glad you feel better. The last time I went out with you your knees were KILLING you. I'd still like to get out there with you sometime again.

[TreAdidas]
