More Africa Twin foolishness...

Well Friends,The past week or so has been filled with a variety of pleasant and interesting rides, ending with a little drama on the AZ BDR section east of Young AZ.The Canadian Snowbirds (Frostbacks?) have returned for the bulk of the winter, with one of them unfortunately banned from riding by a doctor for the season. We hope Chuck makes a complete recovery and is back on two wheels for next winter.We did a couple of nice rides on the familiar roads out and around Florence, Oracle, Dudleyville, Kearny, Agua Caliente, Arlington, and Gila Bend.Roads were in nice condition with relatively recent grading. It has not rained here in a couple of month, so there was no shortage of dust available.First ride was a BMW GS, a very clean Africa Twin solo, and of course, Black Betty (that sweet girl.) Weather was near perfect with fine companions.A mix of the first group and a couple more friends got out around Agua Caliente for a nice rip around the desert. Bikes added included another GSA, and a very pretty new Aprilia Toureg 660. Africa Twin friend did not join this romp.Ooohhh, new bike!There wasn't anything particularly remarkable about these rides, other than the shear joy of being out on bikes in really nice weather and good scenery... I think Greg's expression captures the adventures quite well:C't'd next post

Just finished editing the Huascaran Naitional Park leg of my Peruvian adventure with my son. This was the best part of the ride. 12 hours or so in the saddle, peaked at 4,735 m elevation, several beautiful glacial lakes!
