The girl gets her first trophy...

Meghan had her soccer party last Friday where she received honors for most improved and best defensive player. Her team, Pinkalicious, will stay together and begin practicing in two weeks for the Spring season.


Riding on Sat with buddies...

Went riding last Sat with the Dualies. I love the desert in the winter... This was our first of hopefully many monthly club rides. We did about 50 miles of riding with a stop for lunch at the Slash X ranch. I had breakfast of course- 3 eggs (over easy), hash-browns, ham steak, and white toast with a coke. Awesome.

This is my bike. I got some new stickers which helps me go faster.. hehe. I am not sure which view is better - the desert in the winter or my lovely orange KTM.

 This is Brian and Laurie Gossett - my usual riding partners.

 Stuart and James, father and son are new friends

James gets into a 'spot of bother' as his father (from England) would say...

Dirt Biking

My buddies with the Big Bear Trail Riders and I were out dirt biking in the CA high desert around Landers after our club meeting. It was a great day. 60 degrees and light wind. We did about 45 miles of varied terrain including single tracks, technical rock step ups, sand hill climbs, washes, and high speed roads with plenty of whoops.  After our ride we fired up the BBQ. Brian (pictured) and I had an eating contest of sorts... I had 3 cheese burgers and 4 hotdogs.  My bike worked so well that it brought tears to my eyes... or was that the wind riding in the desert at 50+mph?
