patience is a virtue

keith is ever so patient with me... sometimes.
one of the times that i can count on keith to be patient is when we go motorcycle riding. i suck at it but i have a good time and i think i am slowly getting better.
tuesday evening we went on a ride that we have meaning to get back to for about a year (or has it been more?). last time i went on it we were barely a quarter of a mile on the dirt and i fell and busted my clutch lever. we didn't have a spare for my bike so we used one for keith's bike making it work through the wonders of a zip tie. after that we got a spare clutch and lever saving guards on my bike (which i so love).
anyways, we went back to this trail and made it quite a ways. after looking at the map, i think we made it to what they call hunter lake, it is more like a wide point where hunter creek starts. but pretty cool none-the-less. the great thing is that i made it up and down without dropping my bike (or having keith ride it). i was a little slow in a couple areas... okay most areas, but i made it. it isn't a super easy ride, check out the mountain bike review. we didn't make it all the way to the big meadows further on, which i think is actually a shallow lake when there is a lot of water, like this year. it was getting late and there was snow, but we'll be back.
