Hit 96 and followed 165 to bishops castle. Being as this is my first castle run.... i must say when we turned on to 165, i think that may just rank up there as one of THE sickest rides ive been on. The twisties just kept coming at us, and it was F'n GREAT!!!!!

got to the castle and stopped there to goof off.....

The dirt road was a bit tense for me and my rear end didn't take to the wash boards in a few spots but PhL0aTeR kept me on board and when we made it to the asphalt life was fast and good. Everyone defintly needs to take a castle run this year it was warm and the twisties kept the adrenaline pumping.
Cheers All.
