Beatty, Nevada–February, 2015

February 13 – 16, 2015

My sixth consecutive year of this – it just never gets old.  I’m hopeful last year’s excitement doesn’t carry over into this year!  Surprised smile
Go figure – the battery in the camera I wear around my neck is dead!  I got this single shot with my phone prior to Saturday’s ride.  Same locations, no drama!

I’m tired or riding behind others – I’m taking the point for a bit on Sunday, as I’m looking for a couple of these “rolling down the road” shots.

Different angles make for different photos.
See, there’s a bunch of old guys on this trip.  Some of them are able to manage this, but some can’t.  This actually is one of the better areas to, er, um…

Well, you knowRolling on the floor laughing  Off frame to the left or to the right.  Plenty of trees, if you know what I mean.

Another year, another unfortunate situation in which one bike had transmission issues.  While that rider continued back to Beatty, the rest of the ride resumed. This BBQ place was mentioned in our on-line discussions about being a pretty good place.  The BBQ was decent, the line was – long.  Another opportunity for conversations.

We took the highway back thru the park, only to make sure that the rider that was having issues was able to make it back without further incident.

Fun as always!  Already on the calendar for next year!
