Modern Buddy

This weekend I did a super fun ride. Started at the Ocean, went up and over a mountain and had lunch in the desert. The mountain was only at 4k feet and in 17 miles of super tight and very windy twisties at a very steep angle, we got down to sea level again and when from 55degrees to 85degrees. It was so much fun! I hit 10k miles somewhere along the La Jolla Indian reservation.

This is from about 3950ft, look off into the distance - there's a patch of civilization out in the desert and that's where we found lunch:



this is us infront of the Ranchita Yeti (I'm the cute one on the end in a white corazzo):

Wow! You are racking up the miles for sure you will be well beyond what I have traveled, and my scooter is much older– good for you

Nice! You are a fine example for us all jijifer Looks like a really great route and a fun ride. I gotta get down there sometime!

(I'm taking note of this rare appearance of you in a photo too )

Yes, the shop keep at the Ranchita store was very helpful in the picture taking. He insisted all women had to get an "attacked by the Yeti" pic and that I need to crouch under the hands and look up scared. Of course he didn't zoom in so it looks like i'm doing something else to the Yeti. Joke was on me:

Well that explains the look on the Yeti's face

Congratulations on the milestone. I too will be joining the 10,000 mile club, probably by the end of the week.

Congrats! Racking up the miles is fun! I'm nearly to 24k now

Wow, I wish I could find more time to ride. 7700 on my '08. If this warm weather keeps up I might hit 8000 this year. Sounds like a great ride.

Congrats, looks like a great ride!

You're racking up the miles pretty quickly.

Nice! I can't wait for 10k

Sometime this week I'll be hitting 4000 on Flash, which works out to 1200 for the road trip, and 2800 for about a season of regular riding.

Schweeet! Congrats! I'm about 250 miles from hitting 10k myself and have been looking forward to posting!

by the way - my wife is a member of the La Jolla indian tribe and her folks still live on the res - just below Mt. Palomar.

I met my wife at Palomar Hospital and all 3 of our kids were born there!

I'm lucky that I can scoot year round and have a terrific set of scoot friends willing to get out and scoot at any time. It's my only means of transportation, too, so there's that. My commute is only 14 short miles round trip, though, so many of these miles are about exploring.

yeah, in the San Diego Scooter Squadron (the name of our meetup where I met all these fine scooterists) we have about 10 MP3 riders. Zandro's on a 250. Most of them upgraded to 500.

Wow, you almost never see MP3's around here. Only once in a blue moon. They're just not that popular in this area.

You're really racking up those miles, good job

I thinking crossing the 10k mark is a good enough reason for going to town on a mythical beast. Congratulations... to both of you.
