I rode today.... good ride... Camera caught some interesting stuff.... this is just the last snippet on the way back from Motocorsa... It gets kinda cool at minute 5 through the tunnel.... 

Ducati 999 camera mount fail

[Mother]

That is the longest crash

Ever

I think you need to clean your chain.

What kind of deal did you get on the Contour? I've been eyeing the GPS model for ages and otherwise holding off because they're coming out with the Android viewfinder (which keeps getting pushed back), and I like to buy the right stuff one time. And now they've got the Plus model, which is also neat.

What kind of deal did you get on the Contour?

It was a gift... and it was purchased at Motocorsa... so no clue.

How was CCR?  Have a half-day this Friday, that's where I'm headed . . .

Rode out 84 to Corbett and then to the Larch Mt. gate after work today, which was closed - "Snow" ?!?  Road was OK, lumpy and a couple of corners graveled up from potholes, otherwise fine.

[krolik]

It's allright. It takes about 15 minutes to ride it.

[BackMarker]

It's allright. It takes about 15 minutes to ride it.

That's sounds anticlimactic as make the beast with two backs - maybe I'll just keep going to Detroit.

Windy Ridge Saturday.  Departing Starbucks @ Imbrie & Cornelius Pass 9AM.

how long of a ride is this windy ridge?

[INFIDEL]

Depending on several variables ...

I would expect to be back 4-5ish.  But it's been a while since I've done it so I could be off.

[INFIDEL]

Anyone know the route so I can map it out?

[Joshua]

Sounds good, I'd need to cut out early to be back around 2 but otherwise count me in.
