how do you guys feel about changing the location to the white settlement start point and running down to loco coyote? reason is two fold- Seth is racing and we could stop by and be his brolly dolly and there is a nascar race on sunday which may cause problems in the 114/35 area.

I am not very sure on the route down there but if you guys will help, it will all work out.

That works for me, I will likely split off and hit the 309 curves between Blum and Hillsburo at some point.

Do you have a way to read ITN or GPX files? If not download and install Tyre and I can PM you over some files

Glad you are ok. I wish it were not part of what we love, but it is. I came close to the edge a few times this morning on the dirt bike. Hope my back is up to speed and to see you in the morning.

Looks like it's going to be colder than expected. Dress appropriately. Stupid cold fronts.

What Jeff linked to, those are the containment domes of our own local poison generator where stupid people break atoms to boil water. That dam spillway was for the lake in the link.

Way too cold to ride. I froze on my short trip back to the house. Did you get to see any of the CMRA race?
