 GRR MWF
No pirates today, they all called with excuses...
They missed another beautiful day in Paradise.
Did have a flat on the downhill portion of Reward.
A small sharp rock right near the 118 marker.
A little unnerving at 30+ mph and curves.
All went well, and I was back on the road in just a few minutes.
The quiet and solitude of the road today was good.
The pleasure was all mine.
Saw another deer, a young buck with velvet on his antlers.
Didn't get his picture, but anyway a good evening,
and a good start of the
Memorial weekend.

Reuben : Hi Ray. It was nice to meet you and Brian the other day. It made it more interesting when Brian raced with me a couple of weekends ago in Long Beach. Congrats to his 2nd place finish again. I do have a request sir. Can you send me an electronic copy of the photo you took to my email address? Thanks in advance and definitely look forward to seeing both of you out on the road again! Have a good day! (05/17/10)
