Future Ride to Livermore

Hey BIG186...set another ride out to Livermore for lunch the 1st or 2nd weekend of May. I hope someone has some gopro footed from today. I would have loved slicing through a pack of motards...:laughing

Op was a no show. It's ok, me and a buddy was running a good pace we woulda had to wait anyways. So it works out. It was kinda foggy in the morning but front side of Hammy was clean and fine. Didn't do Mines rd, went to Del Puerto Canyon rd from The Juntion then back track to Calaveras rd then Palomares rd to Redwood.

He probably decided to do the whole 420 thing (JK)...to bad he didn't show. Who is your buddy you brought? Wasn't Barry was it? Nah...he's too slow. Did you pass any the the motard pack? Any debris or new potholes on Del Puerto? I love Del Puerto...almost as must as Mines Rd.

I'll be up on the mountain as soon as I get some rubber mounted and the weather is good. I usually start on the Livermore side. I don't really like Hamilton that much. I'll still smoke that road if I have to ride it with a group like (KTMKen, FreeRyde etc), but all those ultra slow hairpins :wow

^ All the road I mention above is in good condition. I don't do Mines rd much, maybe once a year. I actually rode with KTMKen today also. He's the guy I would call up to do Mines and Hamilton.

Oh shit

Your Hammie ride was no show. I didn't catch that when you were telling us. Rest easy everyone, Sherman went for a Hamilton ride with me on Sunday, and all is now right with the world. OP's kind of a dick though for not showing or canceling.
