Rode with Carl out past Crescent Valley High School, up Lewisburg Saddle, down along Sulfur Springs Road to the garbage dump then out through old Camp Adair to Independence Highway. We went south along the highway till we met up with Highway 20 which we took back into Corvallis and back to my place. Lots of bugs in the creek bottoms and out by Camp Adair. Really fun on the twisties but maybe I was a bit aggressive for only my second real ride!
30ish miles.
First ride on my bike and first real ride after having taken the Basic Rider Training Course back in May. Carl and I practiced a bit in the parking lot at the grade school next to my house before heading out along 29th to Walunt, around to 53rd, along the back road to Philomath, turning left onto Western Blvd all the way back through campus to 14th to 11th then up to my house. Good ride. Had to really adjust the crap out of the handle bars a couple of times. Couldn’t see out of my mirrors because the bars were a wee bit too low.
15 miles.
We had to finish drying my boxers in the car as we drove. It made for a rather interesting scene.
