Baldy on Mt. Baldy…

My mighty CSC TT250 posing in a turnout on the way up to Mt. Baldy.  These are great motorcycles.

We had a short break in the near-nonstop rains here in So Cal, and that meant two things to me:  Get out for a motorcycle ride, and get to the rifle range.   That’s two separate things (it’s a bit of a challenge to carry a rifle on a motorcycle), so let me just post a photo or two from my motorcycle ride.

When it rains in So Cal in the winter time, it’s snowing in the mountains, and the San Gabriels looked mighty inviting.  I needed to get my knees in the breeze and I recently had good buddy Joey D put new tires on my TT250.  I wanted to see how the new tires felt, and a quick run up to Mt. Baldy would be the perfect way to do that.  I’m here to tell you I really like the TT’s new treads.  A lot.

Yeah, I know. It’s the title of this blog.

While I was taking photos with my cellphone, a young lady pulled into the turnout in a 3-Series BMW M car.   She asked if I wanted her to take my picture with the bike.  Hey, why not?  I probably should have grabbed a photo of her with the BMW, but I always seem to think of these things too late.

I stayed nice and warm on my ride up to Mt. Baldy, as I was wearing my R Heroes USA workshirt under my moto jacket.   It felt great to get on the bike again, and the ride was made all the better by the crisp mountain air.   Good times.

Regarding time on the rifle range, that’s a topic for another blog.  Stay tuned!
