    Thumbs up another day riding . . . .

    probably one of the most bitchin classic rides in the US of A.

    we had about 20 in our group and a nice 75F day, too many cars in the Park but that is normal for this time of year. didn't know till I got home there was a pro team photographer up on the rim taking snaps



    first pic I'm off the pic to the right, the guy next to me is a hot mtn biker .............. we are about 6,000ft opposite Crater Lake Lodge looking towards Wizard island.



    well I got snapped running down over 40mph on one of the many descents



    will admit the descents are thrilling at over 50mph but on the east side of the lake due to heavy snows, avalanches, there is an abundance of heavy stone/rock fall in the road as well as deep cuts and pot holes; hit any one of these and you are dead-meat .........

    Very cool, looked like you had a great day. The kind of day you need for some fun on a snowmobile.....with a bit more snow.

    thanks guys did 50mph off the back-east side but alot of scary rocks on the road and deep cuts/ruts. will admit what I was doing was plain frickin stupidas i could of easily been one with the road. Today the whole lake and hills are socked in with heavy wet mist and cloud, glad we did the ride when we did.

    just got off the bike after 37 miles outside of my little Berg clouds almost down to the ground in spots, the marine layer came in from the north about 2 hours ago.

    hey N get on that Huffy and Ride ! wet or not . . . .

    I'm trying to convince her. Shes a bit fearful riding in traffic.

    MG-42 mounted on the handlebars (centered for stability, of course) should take care of most of those traffic concerns.
