First off, I just have to say :loser to Mike, I beat ya to the thread :teeth

JP :leghump:wave, thanks for organizing Norcall II (here), it was freakin' Epic. Epic enough to dethrone NorCall I? I don't know why don't we let the people be the judge.

We had some INSANE roads, some great food, and some, ahem, "fun" at the expense of other riders :p All in all it was a good few days. Everyone made it home in one piece (can't say the same for the bikes...) and without tickets! It was great riding with you all.

These are my sad excuses for pictures, I'm sure Mike and the gang will be along soon to show me up.

A big chunk of the group as it started at JP's house.

None shall pass! We wanted to be over there somewhere, but someone with a land complex decided that they didn't want to share...

JP asked me to lead, so I did, was having a fine time on Geysers road, nice sharp twistie gravel strewn road, right up my alley!

So I'm cruisin along, JP slows a tad....cruising....and Cliff appears in my mirror....cruising....on a short straight I wave Cliff by....well...he didn't slow enough for the turn.:(

Washed the front on some dirt mid corner, down he goes and the bike sails down the steep embankment followed closely behind by.....Cliff. Luckily he stopped a few short feet over the edge and popped back up quick.

I notice the bike was wheels up (upside down) and so I slid down about 30' with a few others to turn it wheels down so the oil and gas wouldn't go where it's not supposed to.

here's what the bike saw-

and so began the extraction

28.jpg




some guys in a truck had a rope, wouldn't have done it without it.

30.jpg




once up, Cliff dusted off the bike, put the "extra parts" in his bag....and we were on our way.

who eats this shit???

37.jpg





so, we're 20+ miles out on a fun dirt road headed for the Clearlake area.....although they hadn't made sure it goes through, it's assumed it does as it's shown on google maps.

It didn't.

40.jpg




so we rested as a Chris and Thomas went scouting....

44.jpg




twas really beautiful and peaceful out there!

45.jpg



we scoured for food but only found this little guy....3 of us made skewers.

46.jpg
 
then it gets...interesting.

They come back with a plan, to take this trail that "opens up" cause it goes the right direction.:|

so down the path we go....

48.jpg





does this count as a river crossing?

54.jpg





here's the trail "opening up"-

52.jpg





oh, hey look, the trail comes to a dead stop, after coming through some fun single track, ruts, rocks, trees!!!!, bushes, hills- we get to turn around and go back out.

53.jpg
