Riding Indian Valley Area , Staging at Walker Ridge Rd off Hwy 20 8:30am , ride could end up over a 100 miles so everybody should bring extra gas and lunch. Area is mostly easy, but we will see how far we can get up M5.

Looks like staging is about 90 miles from Lincoln, and about 130-140 from Redding. Is everybody making it a day trip, or is anyone camping?

What a great ride, thanks Mike and Sharon! Nippy this morning, but dressed right the weather was beautiful. 101 miles, with no dust!!! Nice to ride with first timer Tyler, and looking forward to riding with you again!

Best part was seeing friends that I haven't seen in a while- Russell, and Bob and Kristen.

For some reason, it won't let me share pics! Sorry.

This is what happens when a new guy with a Can Am Maverick shows up to ride at the Polaris party. Why'd you guys get me so muddy?

I had a great time and really appreciate everyone's hospitality. At one point in the ride I had a difficult time keeping up with Barry in the General. Here are a few pics I harvested out of the action cam. I had to get one of Russell cleaning his windshield. (He did that a lot.)

Really looking forward to riding with you again, Tyler! And to all those who doubt my mechanical genius, I'll have you know that I replaced that missing bolt ALL BY MYSELF !!

But did you use Locktite so it won't come loose again?

Nylock nut. Is that good enough?

I don't know what bolt you replaced but I'm sure the nylock will probably work fine !!

So did that straight both the back wheels up?

It sure did. Don't ask me why, but it straightened up the other side as well.

Now if I can get all the mud off............

Lower, left rear A-arm bolt. I kinda thought it felt a little squirrelly on the ride back!! I would have been headed to Red Bluff tomorrow if Tyler hadn't found the problem!

I don’t know Barry maybe you should leave that bolt out full time, Tyler said you were on the Gas on the way back. lol

But you also didn’t have your Speed Limiter in either. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji482]

Come on, Mike, You know Patti. Do you really want me to show her this???

All kidding aside, this was one of the most enjoyable rides I have done! And if you check start dates, you'll see that I have been on here since almost day one. You guys are the best.
