Drew and I took a night ride to Albany the other evening. This is a sped-up version of the ride.
Riding with Seth on a nice day
Today Seth and I went on a leisurely jaunt up the Kings Valley highway and then back through Albany to Corvallis. This was the test ride for my newly rebuilt shocks and improved helmet. Both performed well.
The whole ride was about 81 miles.
Long ride while sick on the PC800
This morning when I woke up I was pretty sick. After a few sudafeds I didn’t feel any better. I couldn’t clear my ears and was feeling pretty rotten. Today I was supposed to drive up to Washington to go diving for the weekend. Not wanting to get everyone sick, I stayed in Corvallis. In the afternoon I was still feeling yucky but I decided it was time to get out and do something. In retrospect it probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do but I jumped on the PC800 and took off to points unknown.
The total ride was about 130 miles. I got gas in Junction City. The bike took 2.88 gallons. The last fill-up was 112.8 miles before. That would give me 39.1 mpg. However, I lost a fair amount of gas to the maintenance I performed over the last month.
