So sorry Kermode, I couldn't wait- time was limited. Opted for a little scoot up Bish however. Pre-ride check required an oil top up. Nearly a litre for the oil burning PIG, although no sign of oil outta the pipe? No leaks, where the hell is it going? Note to self, more frequent checking required.
The ride starts out with that ominous and awkward feeling of uncoordination, balance seems off. Slept good, perhaps too long, can't seem to shake the cobwebs, even after all the Java that required a premature stop. Photo moment, fishermen heading out for a catch. Click/Beep WTF, again Click/Beep WTF again. I just put new batteries in on Daddies' Day. NO MEDIA STORAGE DEVICE the frikken device reminds me. Ha, brought the cellphone.
Bike almost rolled away off the stand. Phew!
Fishermen trolling up the Douglas Channell
Get to the Gate and it is open, so far no logging trucks have been seen. Hmm the sign says "Road Closed 11KM" Wonder why, maybe I can get around closure.
Been leery all the time, so my pace is slower than normal, no blasting or roosting in store today.
So I toddle along enjoying the scenery and leisurely cruise.
Wow, this is the road closure reason. There was some room to get around, so creeped by.:shock: Really alot worse than it looks, it was a long way down if you goofed.
Then this, with another area that requires investigating. New area, so a compadre would be in order.
This one gave me the jitters, one end on the ground, propped up by branches. Under I went.:spl:
Steep, shark rock (Tire Eaters) climb and Voila!
I headed back and found one more tire eater dead end. Felt like investigating the other route far back in the valley shot, but something told me otherwise. Better be home on time for once and rescue Grandma from the little one. One and a half hours ride seemed to fill the void. I park it and do the usual trip meter observation for a report.
:shock: CREEPY!
