anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[eddie21]

Went a little off the beaten path yesterday, rode up to my favorite little trout pond.

Despite being very hot the last few days, and warm for the last week, it was still very much frozen.
Luckily a recent fisherman had left some spots for me to still get a line in the water.
The fish weren't biting, but the beer was tasty, so it all worked out I guess.

I'm just taking a guess here... I suspect you had no problems keeping your beer cold eh! At least your beer was named after a fish.

SST,

So you went for a ride to actually GO ice fishing.

That tops me.
I have observed ice fishermen, while I was on a ride.

Would be interesting to see another picture of you riding home with stringer of, say, bluegills hanging outside your sidebag.

Three of us from BC Classic MC Club, made the trip up to Mt Baker Yesterday, I was on my 2012 VStrom as my Cooley is still in pieces and we had Ross on his newly restored Z1 and Shawn rode his 650 Honda V Twin, great day and awesome weather, temps around 32C (about 90F) on the flat and 18C on at the top parking lot.
Border waits were only 2-3 mins on the way down and less than 10 on the way home.
Good day out riding.
Here's the bikes taking a rest at the top.

Incredible weather in Oregon this week. A ride up the Columbia River Gorge.

Rode out to an AA meeting with my buddy tonight.
Digging the new fairing on 650. It really cuts the wind.

Eli, is there Public Access down in the Niagara River Gorge or do you know somebody that works for Hydro?
I ride along the Parkway on the Canadian side and have not seen people down there.

there is a small public parking area and a few guys were fishing when we were there. that spot was not exactly a friendly looking place, lots of fences and security, but surprisingly you can go right down to the water outlets area. i know there are lots of places where trails go right down to the water. i've only walked one or two so far but might concentrate on more "bike and hike" trips to the gorge this year since i've been wanting to do it for a while.

Took a ride this morning to take care of a few errands before work. In his teenage years in the 1950s, my father caused a countywide furor by opening the floodgates on the dam for Jamesburg lake ( background of pic.) The next days newspaper headline was "who stole the lake". (times were so much simpler then...) Ironically on his funeral day, the local paper, in its today in history section noted that 50 years ago that day the lake was drained...

I enjoy heading out to the Base and using the tarmac for evasion manuevers. Here's a different view with the AMC Museum in the backdrop. Beautiful day!

Yes, it is nice to go there and have the tarmac to myself. And this is where I got my MSF training/testing done too! It's right near the flightline so every now and again planes are landing/taking off.

I haven't been to McGuire...but it's our sister base as far as Aerial Ports is concerned.

Beautiful bikes and nice backdrop Trevor!
