So with the understanding the tradition was made long before I attended my first twofer I believe it was easier for newer riders/bigger bikes to not navigate that last section towards the top, especially in the dark. The last time I was up there it wasn't too bad, but ~5 years ago there were a lot of baby heads in that uppermost section.

Sorry guys I am out. Didn't get off work in time and looking at traffic backups on the 76 and 78 was the nail in the coffin. Hope to meet you all soon. Ride safe and have fun for me.

Well guys....it was fun while it lasted.   I made it home okay.

That was a total fluke....on the easiest part of the ride.  My front tire slide out on the loose surface and I wasn't even pushing it.  Guess I  instinctively put my left foot out and it got tweaked.   Riding home was a bitch to shift.

   I am seriously bummed out, I was so looking forward to this.   Gonna ice the foot and have a cocktail.

 

Hope you all having fun!

@Bub_Hannah you were looking great up there on the Rally Pro, sorry it got cut short for you. I vote we all do this again, sooner than later.

What a great day today!   Thank you Udo for the delicious fish tacos.  It was a great ride with great company.   I am looking forward to more rides and hopefully for frequently.  I’ve been off the bike for a while and felt a little timid at the beginning but it started coming back at the end.   Looking forward to making a habit out of riding with you guys

Good times! Thanks to all that showed up.  Thanks Udo for the tacos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks God for the spectacular moonrise and sunset.  Thanks Udo for shuttling my broke arse up the hill so I could "feel the goodness of being off road" again even if it was in the paint shaker instead of on my bike.

Good stuff!

.... and Pete (@bub), remember the two magic ingredients to recovery are ice and bourbon.  Sometimes together... but keep the ice on that foot!!

😂Thanks brother.  Any reason to ride, even a bad one, is a good one.  LOL!

Tom was pretty pleased with his Franken-honda's performance.  Except for suspension.  Isn't that always the problem?!

Udo had the solution ready to install, in his Jeep.

Love these relive vids. Can you guys add a BAC graph that updates real-time along the route?  😁

 

Sad to have missed this, still finishing up moving to a new condo and have been running loads after work every day. Hard to believe how much stuff I can fit in a 2-car garage. Next time!

Absolutely beautiful evening for it. Great to meet some of you and see others again, it had certainly been too long. Special thanks to Udo for the tacos, man did those ever hit the spot!! I'm definitely looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for the Stills gents.

Someone should put up a warning sign at the bottom of the hill.

  “The Crew is assembled above”.    Nice party sight
