02/25/2006: "Prime weather of another ACH ride"

mood: satisfied

Well, The temps warmed up nicely for us SoCalers this weekend. It reached a high of 72 today, perfect for throwing on some leathers and carving up some canyons. smile

Ryan (aka Rhymesayer) posted on SCS to see if anyone was interested in riding ACH earlier in the week. I jumped in on the bandwagon. We did the usual, met at the Shell Station at the bottom of ACH @ 9am. I arrived a bit late, but the gang hadn't left yet . . and I wasn't the last one to show.

Once everyone arrived, an ACH vet, Pablo (aka pantablo) took us up a different route than usual. We took the 210 FWY to Sunland blvd and went up Big T to AFH instead of the usual ACH to Newcombs. We had all saw a post that there was some snow on the roadside up near Newcombs.

We still saw some snow on this route, but not much. A couple places where the snow on the roadside was melting and water was running across the road. crazy
It was easily seen well before you went through the corner, so nothing really bad.

We stopped at the big tree on AFH and hung out for a while.

Once we were all ready to roll, we took the same route back. Once we got to the end of the twisties, we all went our seperate ways.

Great ride, great group of guys, great weather . . . what else could a motorcycle fanatic like me need?

Food, I went home and had a big ass Double Cheese burger . . . yum. big grin
