Got up and took the bike out, did some nice twisty roads then a bit of off highway riding. ::015::
Day started out with a heavy marine layer, even as far inland as I live
But by the time I got to Ortega Hwy the sun was out and made for a great run up the hill. Chased a Tesla model S for a bit, for having a carpool sticker it's quick. I was really glad to get around him and be on my way after a half dozen corners though. ::001::
Reaching the top of the hill overlooking Lake Elsinore I headed down South Main Divide Rd.
Found some new challenges
Wasn't too rough, but the water bars are not as much fun to wheelie etc as when I had a real enduro bike
This trail dropped into a neighborhood so nice I felt out of place, so I headed back up the dirt road into the hills
Ended up in the OHV area and rode some of the trails around them, I should air down next time, would be a lot more fun!!
Then back up the ridge, found a bunch of parasail guys all getting ready for some flying, thought I would talk to them a bit
After this I went to Hell's Kitchen thinking about some lunch, ran into a friend and the aftermath of a single bike incident(locked brake/highside)
Both riders were picked up by an ambulance, but the injurys were not life threatening, mostly just rash from minimal gear. ATGATT guys, we don't need to be in that level of pain for an incident that they could have gotten up from and said "AWW SHITTT!!!!!"
Then back home pick my wife up from the airport.
