We wish we were still in Avondale. It is surely beautiful to ride around there.

Yep we've got the damned Santa Ana winds here in So Cal this weekend and it's just starting to blow today. Supposed to be 3 days of 40-50 mph winds i think. Not alot of fun to ride in, but some bikes deal with it better than others.

I love that ride up Yarnell Hill to Prescott. Wish I was going with you ..... We were lucky here in MN - a beautiful late October and our temperatures were in the high 60's and windy. We almost made 200 miles and anear biff from a car that pulled out for a left turn in front of our lead rider.

Yesterday was the first day in a week here in Mn that it wasn't raining, so we got a nice ride in. Today, it's 45 degrees and windy.
Usually October is one of our best months to ride in.

Well, just got home. We went up the back way into Wickenburg then came back down to the Carefree hwy into Cave Creek. Stayed at the Hideway for a while then down to the Billet Bar. Wow, what a wonderful day.
