While the Gentlemen were out riding for a cause yesterday, some friends and I went riding our trikes on our favorite hill for 6 hours.
It was truly the most fun I've ever had on wheels to date! We started riding at about 2pm and kept riding until about 8:30pm. We even made our final pass as the blood moon was eclipsing!
It was also my BEST and cleanest riding to date, which was just plain awesome. I'm getting really good and I was pulling off some massive 100'+ drifts at 25mph! The speed limit on this section of road is 25mph, with almost all of the S turns suggested at 10mph. My bike speedo indicated an average speed of 17.8mph and a top speed of 31mph. So, yeah, we like to push the limits. Haha
I think what made the adventure so fun, was aside from having fun with great friends, is that we got lots, and I mean LOTS, of smiles and waves, and "Yeah!"s, thumbs ups, and even a few hang loose and Devil horns.
Even the Sheriff waved as he passed us!
A few people even stopped to chat with us for a bit, including a bicyclist who informed us of a new canyon (to us) up by Boulder called Rist Canyon. Apparently it has a 12% grade!
Another guy (local resident) stopped on his Harley to admire what we were doing and said he was going to look for us in the future to watch.
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home so I didn't get any footage. But, my friend Jordan got footage of every pass, so once he gets something uploaded I'll post it here. All in all, it was a truly epic Sunday to remember. I will always love motorcycles, but the fun meter doesn't come close to the adrenaline rush of racing 4" off of the road on 3 wheels! I did, however, crash into the guardrail backwards and smashed my ass bone off the frame of my trike and got a nice bruise in my crotch. Just a reminder of how much fun I had.
I Love My Subaru!
