Monterey - New Thread

[bikerz]

Thanks AG, for another wonderful Monterey Ride - I had a blast!

I picked Slinkedog up at her place in San Jose and we headed down to the meeting spot, convertible top down, and sun-hats on! Unfortunately, heading west towards Marina we decided to stop and put the top back on - it was cool and misty, and so it remained for the rest for the day - but I really loved it after the brutal heat of the last week or so.

There were nine of us on today's ride (Winddance had a dead car battery at the last moment and couldn't join us): Me, Slinke, AdventureGirl, Sadiekate, Jobob and Leebob, aka_Kim, Dachshund and AG's friend Jim, our fearless leader. It was a beautiful ride, cool and damp - we all wanted wipers for our sunglasses , and I just kept mine off for most of the ride. It was just the usual tourist-dodging through Cannery Row area, then clear sailing down to Pebble Beach.

We had a little excitement on the way back, the result of which was that Jim got an official TE-bestowed nickname - Danger-Boy! I'll leave it to other participants to tell the story and post photographic evidence (Jo???)

When we were done, Lisa led us to a great restaurant in Moss Landing for a post-ride meal - yum! A wonderful ride and great company, as always!

Here are some photos (many of mine didn't come out )

Danger-Boy and Lee-bob - looking oh so serious!
