I was out of town. How'd it go?

New dates are in. I know this is coming late notice but I finally got departure clearance from HQ. I'll be driving up to Kernville area/Greenhorn Mountain Park Friday afternoon for a long overdue ride. It's been almost one year since I've had the bike out of the garage so it'll be a relatively easy ride. Relative meaning intermediate skills required but the pace will be slower so I can get reacquainted with dirt bike riding again. If anybody has ever had an interest in riding high mountain single track this is your time to join in. I'll be your guide.

I may be able to change to the 10th but I believe there is an audit at work the following week and the boss has said we may need to work that weekend to get everything ready. Then again it could be the week after. And then I'll also need to clear it with the domestic affairs council. I'll see when I get home.

Look for the next one August 17-18.

Leaving at noon tomorrow. I'll be riding savory single track for dinner. Last call for San Diego participants.

Cool. Enjoy a couple other photos from the area while you're checking your calendars.

New dates are in. Last weekend of the month.

Sure will. As for now expect it in two weeks then another mid-August. I'll be out of town for all of Sept, but will make another trip in Oct and Nov. I'll play it by ear after that but plan on monthly trips in the new year.

You need to use the Oxy Clean powder.

Trip postponed. There's a sickness going around my house and I'm starting to feel it. I'll likely try again in two weeks. I will post again ASAP.

I think I'm getting clearance today. I'll post an invite when I do. I'll be riding a proper dirt bike on single track but I can loan you my map to tour the dirt roads and meet up with you from time to time and at camp.

On my calendar. See you there.

I may be heading into the Sierras Friday - Sunday. Most of the sky will be obscured by large pines but you'll see plenty of stars in the open areas.

I've never heard a review of the MT7 as being underpowered and it is the same engine. The only price I've heard was 7k POUNDS.

And won't run right with the standard tune, will need $1k in work to get the suspension fixed, the turn signals will fall off as you ride it off the dealer lot.... But within 6 months it's sure to have as many aftermarket options to fix it all.

Adalberto's on Rosecrans in Point Loma. It was my go to place for 5 years of Naval service and still my favorite. El Fuente on Aero Drive is really good stuff. The new go to place at my house. Super Sergio's - It is just a couple miles from my house and I haven't been there in many years. I do remember going there the first time and enjoying it and making it my go to place for lunch way back when. Later I learned that all the Mexicans around the airport loved it. I'll have to try it again. I used to stand by my allegiance the standard carne asada burrito until I had a California burrito and loved that too. Now I usually order a Cali burrito because I enjoy the steak and potato flavors together. Go figure. Baja Sonora makes a great California burrito that I get with carnitas, but they are in Long Beach. I worked up there for a year and now I'll stop in on my drives on 405. Speaking of Sonora, they are known for seafood. I've also had some really good barbacoa in Obregon, Hermasillo, and Nogales (AZ). Having said that, I wasn't a big fan of Mex food and burritos until I moved to San Diego. Now I love it, but when I leave here I find things showing up in my rolled tortilla meals that have no place. The number one is beans. I like refried beans, but they destroy the flavor of a good burrito. The second is rice. Same reason as beans. Keep the sides on the side.

Here we are six years later and I need a little help from a friend. I bought a used car before the DMV started issuing the temporary paper plates. The DMV never sent the new plates to me but I got a fix-it ticket for no plates and window tint. Similar options apply to my law enforcement friends, lunch, brew, your choice.
