Spent Friday and Saturday racing around a bunch of Sierra passes (Monitor, Sonora, Ebbets, Carson, Luther) with a gaggle of Blackbirds from the HookersXX meet Warchild put together in Reno. What a blast!! I think I like this idea of riding the same bike as nearly everyone else -- similar riders, same bike performance, etc.

So, I'm looking forward to jumping off the XX and onto the FJR this Saturday if'n we're still on. Haven't done the north 49 route yet this year, but I'm sure looking forward to it -- always a great ride, and it looks like the weather will be a lot more temperate than last weekend was.

So . . . . see you folks Saturday about 10 am at the Starbucks at the corner of Bell and Hwy. 49 in the K-Mart shopping center in Auburn?
