Absolutely beautiful day



I remember the first time I rode with Privateer (Andy) was a ride up the 33! Ryan- Bacon junkie had bacon and maple bacon cupcakes and  [bacon] at the house before we all rode off.. Was cold that time and recall snow and some patchy black ice on the back side.

Ha, I remember that ride! I was the one that met you at Gelson's on Franklin before heading to Ryan's.

Actually, I think that was the last ride with Stu, Ryan, Robert (Orangelion03), and Miles (duc_poultry).

And those cupcakes were unbelievable!!

that route we took from moorpark to santa paula to ojai is what I tried to talk this group into, but they weren't hip on it.  so we slabbed it.  whatever, i'm more about hanging out with good folks than what % of my miles are twisty.

That's Right !!.. You had the green Duc... I dug that ride.

I got home and told the wife about those cupcakes... she's been making them regularly since.

Coincidentally, every year I ride to Laguna Seca for the GP (not for 2014 though [thumbsdown]) through that section.... taking the back way all the way up [thumbsup]

Thank God for WSBK so i can still ride up and catch some racing

for the problems of SoCal, the 300+ riding days/year make up for most of it.

well first ride for me, of the new year, I suppose.

Anyway, chalked up my first one, as is my custom.  I like heading out on the 1st, usually very few people out and about, but I chose a poor destination this time, I think.  Or at least a poor route.

I wanted to check out a new place (to me) out in the sticks.
