Decided to get out today and ride seeing as how everyone else was. After about 30 some miles of freeway, took an exit for some gravel roads. Don't think I even made it up a mile before hitting this. One pic is looking up and one is looking down. Just around the bend it turned to all snow and wasn't any fun so turned around.
Meet a jeep on the road and talked to the guy quickly. Says there are plenty of roads up in these parts. I just have to wait until all the snow is gone.
Next on the way back decided to hit up another exit that I had been to sometime last fall. The road was closed do to damage, but there seemed to be just enough of an opening between the signs to get a motorcycle through. Here are a few pics from it. Lots of hikers/walkers along the road who were nice and waved to me. Maybe because i slowed way down anytime someone was near.)
underneath bridge.
Kept going until hitting this. I think it was about 9 miles in.
These pics are just random stopings on the way back down the road.
Started heading home along some back street when I saw a barrier. Hmmm, wonder what is behing that. Turned around and went back. Found a nice little riding area. Had a little hill climb, couple of jumps, deep water roughts, and a couple of trails through trees, grass, and gravel. I will definitly be heading here again. Here are a few pics of the nice little area I found.
Lastly a pic of the bike when I got home after another 30 some odd miles of freeway riding.(man that sucked)
