Note to self!!!

after my last trip to baja i cleaned out my pack and repacked it for spring / summer riding. now it has not stopped snowing or raining here for the last 6 weeks. this is not our normal spring. it was sunny and 65 this morning as we loaded up the bikes and drove 45 minutes to our early season single track, the bench trail. it is a fun rolling single track that follows the snake river in idaho. so we get there, get geared up and go to start the bike, fires up on the first try, then dies and won't start. so we start ripping into the bike and no love so the other 3 all on orange take off. when i was repacking my bike i chose not to keep my fresh spark plug and i did not replace it when i got back from baja. Note to Self... always check everything when getting home from mexico and always keep an extra spark plug. lesson learned.

that's a real bummer when you get to the staging area and never get out of it. i suppose it's better than fouling it a couple miles out without a spare, but only marginally better.
taking the correct spare plug is my biggest issue. i bounce around between a few bikes and only about half the time am i carrying the right one. as far as the summer to winter season for me i think a warm hat is all i add for the winter.
