    Thanks kindly. It's a Kawasaki Z705S, though.

    Woke up at 4:00 this a.m. Getting outta my car after an hour drive, my legs are like, "You want us to do what?" lol Gonna have to take a little walk at lunch today, just to remind my body it still needs to do it's job.

    What a day!

    I will definitely take the bike in for a once-over. Funny thing yesterday while riding standing up, I found myself wanting to whip the bike side by side like a dirt bike past the rocks and stuff. Did really well going up. Was completely whipped myself coming back down...lol.

    So, what's next? Riding by moonlight?
    ...ready to take on the world...one canyon at a time...

    I remember driving on the trestles all the way through to winter park in the early 70's.

    Mid eighties there was a road cut through at the lake that went up the back side to the tunnel and on over to winter park. The guy doing work on the tunnel cut it so people could drive over and bypass the tunnel. That is until the forest service told him to close it or maybe it was too dangerous with a hairpin over really loose rocks.

    He had to finally stop trying to shore up the tunnel when a rock fell on a guy's foot and they had to amputate it.

    Jenny creek trail is a good one as well. It crosses the creek a few times and also you have to ride/drive through the creek for a small protion of the ride/drive. It's a great trail through the forest.
