rexr 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Welcome aboard Papa.. We have a lot of cruise and enjoy the scenery type rides. I would suggest hooking up with bagstr on one of his midweek rides. He is a great ride leader, loves to stop and take pictures and knows the area very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa Smurf 0 Posted January 14, 2011 My wife is really cool with it all. We went to the Sequoias this fall. She is not interested in riding, but loves the out doors. So I ride some, fish some and hang out some. I actually went on a solo ride on the pavement and she chased me in the car. It was fun, and the Ranger was cool with us when he caught us speeding. My wife got nailed at 65+ in a 35, and he said He could not get close enough to clock me but estimates about 75 He let us go, since it was the off season and the park was pretty empty. He rides Orange too he told me, so I am sure that helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
