Post by: rg500nut on June 17, 2017, 01:58:18 PM
RG is in to meet group in Carson (Jack's Valley Road) if anyone is going tomorrow.

Confirm 8:30 KSU time if possible...........

It's going to be a scorcher for the next week.  I was hoping it would cool down tomorrow before checking.  We'll want to come back via Tahoe.  Or at least, I think I will be.  You'll probably be in the Mercedes parked in Markleeville.   :P

Meh.  I have some water weight to lose anyway.

The schedule shows this:
June 18th Markleeville Let's start KSU at 8:30 AM at the bottom of hwy 341/V.C. Hwy Maverik.  So departure time is from S. Reno. 

Due to tomorrow's temps, any takers in jump starting this in CC at 8:30 AM?  If you don't hear otherwise, assume S. Reno departure for doing VC first.

Sorry, but had a setback on my schedule today and cannot make it tomorrow.  May be for the best with temps anyway.  It will be warm after 11:00 for sure.

So, RG is OUT, getting ready for Red Bluff........

In, at least for a potential meetup in Markleeville. 
I will try to leave as early as possible and be in M'ville by 10-10:30 (maps has it taking 3-3.5 hours from this side of the hill).  If you can't wait around or timing is off, don't wait around for me.

I guess that just leaves the old guards then.

I'll be going on this one.  No need for a tight schedule on morning departure, since we'll have 2 hours to pull into Markleeville.  Meeting Sub-Sonic either there or under the shade tree at the base of Monitor, just up the road.

Cool!  C U in or around Markleeville.

The temps outside this morning are quite pleasant.  I know it won't last, but it's nice to have at least some portion of the day that feels good.

The Reno crew made it back.  Thanks for coming along BC and leading on the way back.  That XX rails! 

SubSonic's still on his way home, I imagine.  Gonna have to nickname him Mr. Miles.  :|)

And we Jolie hadn't forgotten us, even after all these years.  She's so friendly.

Nice to ride/hang with you guys today.
temps ranged from ~ 50 on top of Sonora pass to 108 in the valley.
The flood on Sonora pass was up to 18 inches on the way back.  Got behind a Jeep that parted the way, made it easier.
392 miles on the clock, a lot easier to do on this bike
Metal cords showing through on the rear tire.

I like it when new tires go on the bike.  Always seems to make it feel like it has more stick to the road.  My rear tire is about there too.
