Last weekend we rode with STAR Touring & Riding, Chapter 123, a group that Ben used to ride with frequently when he lived out here before. We met at the Yamaha dealership in Encinitas to get a little debriefing and to meet the current members. Generally there are significant others who ride with their husbands, but due to the fact they went on a long ride last weekend I was the only woman on this trip. I didn't mind too much :)
"Big Steve" sent out an email to the group after the ride with some details of the trip...see below!
"Short, but sweet. That was the ride today. Welcome to four new
riders. Well, sort of. Bob and Brian were first time riders.
Ben and Alyssa rode with us way back in 2005 and are now back with us. (Well, Ben rode back in 05, I was graduating from HS, ha!) And
speaking of “long time, no see” it was absolutely fantastic to have Mighty Mike (this guy was awesome!)
and Gunny back with us today. I have missed you guys!
Yes, it was hot today. For probably the first time in history,
we wheeled out of NCY right at nine o’clock. We rode up Old 395 to 76 and
stopped briefly at Pala (which in an Indian Reservation north east of where we live). Then it was out 76, passed Lake Henshaw, and then over Mesa Grande to Santa
Ysabel. After lunch, in the interest of safety and due to the extreme
heat, we headed home. We were back at NCY by one o’clock. When I got home,
my patio thermometer registered 101; and that felt cool compared to when we rode
through Ramona earlier."
Overall it was a beautiful ride and fun to be with other people, even though the tandem riding made me a little nervous!
