dirt dame 559 Posted May 13, 2020 Thanks for joining me! It has been a long time since I have been up to Big Bear. Work and a winter full of nagging illnesses have kept me from going on many adventures in the last few months, and then the current situation of the world has made things get downright weird lately. A wonderful day of riding with two great trail buddies made the all the bad things that the media keeps shoving down our throats nonstop just disappear. The weather was a bit nippy, with some pretty hefty wind gusts hitting some areas, and clouds rolled in in the afternoon. My body is out of shape and not acclimated to hopping out of a car at 7000 ft elevation and right onto a motorcycle trail....but after the first hour out, things seemed to have adjusted to where they should be for the most part. A lunch stop at La Paws brought back many great memories, as well as creating one more, and added to the lunch adventures of trying to eat take-out from a styrofoam tray perched on the saddle of a 501. Needless to say, both my riding gear and the bike ended up being accented by streaks of salsa, evident that I need to work on my pan-skippy-demic dining out skills. I will be looking forward to more adventures in the near future, especially since I am officially retired. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've staged there, and at the airport, and right where 3n16 starts over by the dump, and at friends houses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbrew 3 Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks for the info about staging. Being a noob I am trying to collect as much info as I can about great riding areas. By the way, congrats on the retirement and the next adventure in your life. Happy Friday, Kevin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
