Franksgiving Day Ride!
Sunday, December 2, 2012 at 12:24PM Let me explain what Franksgiving Day is for those of you that have not participated in the group ride that a buddy named Frank leads the day after Thanksgiving. The ride goes to different places that I wouldn’t even begin to be able to tell you the names of. If I knew the places I would have been sworn to secrecy because it is an invitation only ride and I wouldn’t want to encourage any ride crashers (uninvited riders). Frank had 14 people ride with him this year and we were treated to perfect riding conditions and weather.
Frank has been riding for probably, oh about a thousand years, on trails all over the western part of the country. He is an encyclopedia of some of the best and long forgotten trials I have ever had the chance to follow him around on. How he finds some of these long lost gems is beyond me but I sure am glad he does. Because every time I go with him he takes us to someplace I have never seen and would never be able to find again myself. I always have a great time and come back grinning ear to ear. I usually put on the smallest counter shaft sprocket I have for this ride because we spend a lot of time in 1st and 2nd gear through some of the best off road woods riding you can imagine. We rode about 5 hours and only covered 70 miles. So you get an idea of the average speed.
Beautiful scenery, cool people, perfect riding conditions (this year) what more could you ask for!
Can’t wait for the next one. I will try to wipe the grin off my face and take more pictures next time.
