Great summer ride to the Little Dragon, with STS boys from the valley.  Topped off with good eats at the Priest Grade Cafe.

Having fun on the Friendship Pre-Ride. It’s a bit hot and we’ve been gabbing all day, but the roads are looking great for the big ride in a few weeks.

I love all my bikes but it’s good to be riding the Rep. Just a quick ride around the lake to make sure nothing is going to fall off again. Going to check all the bolts and get it ready for a more meaningful ride next weekend.

Great day to be on The Little Dragon. Smooth, clean and very little traffic. Although The Dragon didn’t bite me, I did manage to get stung in the chest by a bee about half way through on my way back. I sucked it up and didn’t let it slow my roll. 🙂

Wish you were riding with me today Mr. Lytton.  I guess in a way, you were.  🙂

Stopping for a bit at Bass Lake.

The smoke from the Aspen fire was thick, but not enough to keep us from a Kobe Burger in Sonora.

All shined up and ready for the big ride.
