The Weekend is off to a good start

Did a little after work ride yesterday. Now that I'm kind of grounded as far as the dirt bikes go I'm doing a little more street riding lately. I'm also having fun playing with the smart phone / Google maps thing. I think I wanted to post this more because I figured out how to insert the ride on the Blog and if I don't do it a couple of times I'll forget.

The Poconos

Last weekend 5/12/2012 Tony and I went up to the Poconos to go do a little riding in that area. We  trailered the bikes to East Stoudsburg Pa.after work on Friday  got a hotel and sat down and drank a few. Here's one funny thing that happened at the bar. Tony is insisting on doing shots but as he leaves to use the men's room I assure him I'll have double shots lined up at the bar when he gets back. Upon his arrival we toast to a great ride tomorrow and down the hatch goes the double of poison for Tony and unbeknown to my comrade I was doing a double shot of tap water.
       Saturday we awoke quite early and went for our just short of a 300 mile ride. I was navigating roads that I found using my new phone and mapping system. Everything went easy and soon we were at our destination of RT87 in PA. We travel some time across 87 then Tony brought us back to the truck using his simple arrow GPS. This turns out to be a fun way to navigate as we found some hidden gems. The trip was a 100 percent success in our book and we sure will be returning to this area again

Dan Racing

         This weekend Dan and I trucked up to Candor, NY which is about 4.5 hours away so he could race. It was a mountainous area and I couldn't help but thinking that I'm happy I don't have to race up in them hills. It did look like fun but I'm happy being the driver and pit dude. I think this racing thing is really for the young.  All the picture are in Flickr you can find them here. Dan got 10th which isn't his best finish but no injuries for him and all the guys we met up there Matt,Jim Lasko, Rod, Joe,and Keith. All in all it was a good trip.
