The plan was to be in Merced by now, well on my way to Yosemite, Bodie, Tonopah, Tuweep and parts beyond. The reality is that the bike is in the hospital, getting a blood transfusion. If they get the ABS system sorted out (soon let’s pray) then I’m changing plans and heading for the Range of Light Gypsy Tour out of Red Bluff. It sounds like a huge ugly mob of adventure riders in the midst of some very beautiful scenery. And hot.
Also, you might notice, that Red Bluff is UP from me…on a map…not DOWN, which makes it a particularly hard way to go. If you want to get down that is. Silly.
Anyhow, if you’re interested in some gnarly dual-sport action featuring more R1200 GS bikes than you can shake a stick at, follow me on Twitter (also on FaceBook). I’ll be posting semi-regular updates…sometimes including my GPS coordinates from my Spot Tracker.
