It actually rained in SoCal today...

[Scar]

...first time in like 8 months or something stupid like that... ...and probably one seven hundred billionth of an inch (that's 700,000,000,000, in case you're wondering what it looked like in numerals).



Anyway, I went out riding with a friend, Zach, (owner of 1off Racing/R1) and a new bud he introduced me to (Andrew/R6).

We took it pretty easy because the roads were intermittently slick, but it all of sudden felt like the seasons had changed.

OK, now that it's rained, Winter is Official Over!!!



Here are a couple of pix of our ride into the country... Greenfield, Crest, Harbison, Japatul, then slabbed it back to SD for late lunch at Gordon Biersch.

Great day, guys...

Seriously thought we'd never get through it. It was a veritable deluge. A droplet here, a droplet there... Very random.

What a relief...now we can get back to life as we know it...

Glad you liked it...I look forward to having you and your lovely bride out here one day to enjoy it in person.



The sooner, the better.

Wow, sure glad winters over. Hope it says winter here in Arizona for a while. Cool pics...

It only rains on me when I plan the ride.

Ah, yes...the law of averages; hard at work. Life can be SO unfair.

Harumph, I say.

I grew up listening to this song about the rain out there.

We had actually planned to get Winter out of the way before your visit here next month, bubba.

The key to a successful event is planning, I've always said.

We figured we'd get a little wet...the clouds to the east were amazing. You know...we don't get too many clouds here.

Anyway, Albert Hammond, it turns out, was right. It never rains here. It burns, wildly, because of it.

Dayum him!

Good pics guys. Thank's for sharing. You make us Midwesterners envious this time of year. We did have a perfect Fall day here today though. I put on several miles in the Shawnee National Forest with two fellow Busa riders. Not many days left this season!

Of if you really want to make it sound good you could say you spent most of the day outrunning a LEO

Sweet! Everyone needs a nice long ride!

Where did you go, bro?

 

[jefferycarman]

I am insulted that you would consider that "riding in the rain/post rain" conditions

Come on up and join me on a wet ride

A thousand abject apologies, oh soggy one.
