This is not "my ride" but I spoke to this guy today. He has a bunch of smokers getting together for this ride.

I am posting it up to see if any other 2 strokers want to join in.

email me at

Thanks, Ken

Darren, I know where this is as this was in the vicinity of my stomping grounds that I terrorized in my youth.

It is a bit of a ride just to get to the meeting place, probably about 40 minutes.

I had a couple of thoughts on this.

Either ride up to Alice's and meet the two strokers up there to BS around a bit.

Or go ahead and ride to the meeting place, do the two-stroke ride up, then ride back on our side.

I am up for a long ride so option 2 work for me.

You want to meet at my place for the ride to the Los Gatos?

Can you get Todd or Chris interested?

I will try to get a few others but usually have a tough time with this. Nobody likes me. :smt009

Darren,

It was good to see you again and meet some new smokers :smt048 A good time was had by all :smt045

Good video??? I hope so.

I will post up a video with pictures soon. My computer was giving me a really hard time the other day when I was working on it, so I had to push it aside for a bit.

This week some time :smt002

How was your extended ride?

I should have went with you but I had a bit of a headache. Since the meeting place was close to where I grew up, I rode out to the Almaden Valley and went down Farm Hill Way (the house that I grew up in), went by the elementary school, junior high school, and high school I attended. Lots of memories both good and bad. I had a very misspent youth :smt011

I went over Calaveras on the way home to finish up :smt003

See you at the BARF vintage ride around Cinco de Mayo time.
