Default Bitter Springs Part 2 Yippie!

We had yet another wonder ride. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Absolutely awesome.
I was very busy riding so my pic count is meger. Steve & TJ were on my fender all day.

Before we even left the trucks, desertdweller's Honda decided to take a rest.


Before a second attempt at the hill, desertdweller is figuring how to coax his mighty steed into the upright position.


Never mind, I'll have to do it myself.

NOTICE all those people taking picture vs helping a guy when he is down.

The group waiting for Rider1 & Gary to catch up on the 1st section.


We had some 1HP vehicle visit. I think 1 was only 1/2 HP.




desertdweller & TJ soon after beginning to descend the MaterHorn

Rider1 hiked up to get close-up pics of the daring duo. 1st was desertdweller.


TJ Hot on his heels


After the bad stuff they pick up the pace.
Oh, Crap we better get back to our bikes and catch up.


Finally got to see TJ get off. It was a thing of beauty. Then when he heard us all going for our cameras... Let's just say he got that bike up FAST.



That's all my pics. This was near the end of the ride. It was getting late for some and fuel issues were getting our attention. Serve ya right for tailgating me all morning.
We only put in about 35 miles. It was all technical this time.
I loved it.
Thanks to all that came out to ride.

Who would have thought in early June we would have such wonderful weather for a ride.

Yeah, that one little section would have been fine on a Harley.
It's all the OTHER sections that would give pause.

Indecision....at the very start.



I believe this is Gary flyin':



This is Norm (I believe) at liftoff:



Deciding who's goin' down the MaterHorn and who's at the bottom watchin':



These boys are l o s t .... they're on a sheep trail Steve and TJ



No, this is not photoshopped...it's the real deal !



I don't need no stinkin' trail....get them rocks outta my way !



TJ was havin' too much fun ! You should've heard him hootin' and hoolerin' !!



Steve on top of a good size hill although it doesn't look it:



Indecision...? No, Tom knows where's he's goin', Gary's just waitin' for him to quit posin'




That's all. It was a GREAT day of ridin' and a GREAT night of campin' out. GREAT group of guys and man can they ride !!!!!!!!

Dave

P.S. Thanks Gary for the extra effort

I had a great time with great people. I will do my RR tomorrow.

You know, I'd agree, except that they are pretty much in control, even when they are deciding how to fall.
