Our Rock Store ride!

Good buddies Duane, Richard, Mike, Gerry, and Grisel rode with us to the Rock Store today!

Wow, we sure had a great day today!   It’s hard to imagine how the day could have been any better or (as you can see from the photos) how the folks who rode with us could be any more photogenic!

Just like on last month’s ride in the San Gabriels, the clouds held back on the rain today.   The riding was fantastic.  Duane, Mike, Richard, and yours truly rolled along on the freeways for a good 65 miles or so until we reached the Kanan Road exit, and then it was twisties above Malibu all the way to the Rock Store.

Richard, Joe, Duane, and Mike…a great Rock Store breakfast!

I’ve never seen the Rock Store so uncrowded, which was nice.   It looked like it might rain, and that kept the crowds away, I guess.  I liked it.  We had no problems finding a parking spot, and it was easy getting a table for breakfast.

Grisel met us at the Rock Store (she is a new RX3 rider, having just purchased her beautiful orange 2016 RX3).   Gerry rode his Yamaha all the way down from Santa Barbara and met us at the Rock Store just because he wanted to check out the CSC bikes.   He told me he’d been hearing a lot about them and he wanted to see the bikes in person.

Parked in front of the Rock Store.

We hung out at the Rock Store for a bit and then we grabbed Mulholland for more spirited riding in the twisties.  The road was magnificent, and we stopped high up in the hills for a few more photos…

What a day!

Good buddy and marksman extraordinaire Duane and his electric blue RX3.

Good buddy Mike and his fastest-color RX3.

Our good buddy Richard, an Iron Butt rider who rode along with us on a fine February day!

The Chilean Ambassador, our very own Grisel (aka Bunny Rider)!

I sure had a grand day, and I know the rest of our crew did, too.   After riding the twisties above Malibu, we dropped down to the Pacific Coast Highway and rode north along the edge of the Pacific to just south of Ventura.   We made one more photo stop where I grabbed the first shot of today’s blog (the one you see way above), and then one more…

An orange RX3, a great bunch of riders, the PCH, and the Pacific Ocean.

Grisel took the PCH south back to her home, Mike rode the PCH north to his Navy base, Gerry continued north to his home in Santa Barbara, and Richard, Duane, and I took the 101 south back to our homes here in So Cal.

The ride was awesome, and I can’t wait until our next one!  What a day!
