GCR II

The roads were smooth, but the next day was rough! After a great ride, its always hard not to get carried away with good times when the bike turns off, or runs out of gas. The party at Good Speed and Macheen lasted all night, but our leave time for Belden was pretty relaxed, so people were able to sleep in.

Loud Rudy, being very quiet...

Sunday morning

Ooops. This would be the end of the road for Jonathan

In Oroville, Phil, while riding his knucklehead had a flat tire. He pulled it off brilliantly! That thing was sideways a couple times as he tried to navigate the bike off the road. When he finally came to a stop, I think we all smiled a little, and I think he changed his shorts!

Goldenchain Run 2016

Right on time Friday afternoon people started showing up. People from all over California started to trickle in for the 3 o'clock leave time. Pizza, beer and gas before we left, was all the we required at this point.

3:30, Friday afternoon we were headed north. Not bad for keeping a schedule!

First gas stop, Jackson

Saturday morning we will finish out the ride along 49, hit 89 through Quincy, and then finally onto highway 70, and then to Belden.

Belden

Final destination for the GCR is the small town of Belden. Located on the Feather River Canyon, its hard to miss once you get onto highway 70. See you all Saturday!

Mammoth III

We all woke up sunday morning inspecting some damage from a bear who, the night before, knocked over someones bike! Don't worry, it was a Dyna, ha!

Another great time, and we'll be seeing most of you all this weekend for the Goldenchain Run!

We headed back north together, but Gus and Casey would be continuing up 395 and then through Lake Tahoe to get to GV

Mono Lake off to the right

Hmmm, I hope those storm clouds aren't where we have to go....

DAMNIT!!! Hail and rain made for a refreshing couple of miles. Thankfully we made it through the storm in a few minutes, it was not so warm on Sunday. The pack behind us who stopped for a beer in Bridgeport, got slammed after they left.
