Cal Poly Penguins ran the Hi-Mountain Dual Sport ride this Sunday and with the exception of me and my brother on TE 450's I think I only saw one other 05/06. A few more of the ride on My Smugmug. This is a great ride with a good lunch on some property you would never get to tread on otherwise. Maybe next year we can get a little more yellow/blue and red/white to dilute the sea of orange that was there this year.
I've heard some great things about this ride There are several dualsport rides that would be fun, this one would be my first choice. How far away from the ocean did you get? Did the ocean keep the temps down with a sea breeze?
My brother was running the Zumo while I ran (ripped!?) the roll chart. My guess is about 30-40 miles east of SLO at it's farthest point. The temps were perfect, started with jackets in the AM, warmed up nicely mid day with a slight breeze and cool near the finish. The short stint back down Hwy 101 to the finish had me wishing I'd stopped to put my jacket back on... brrrr.
Looks like a fantastic ride. I will have to try and keep up with this ride and try to get to it next year. I have a couple of other 610 riders here in Monterey, would be cool to do a road trip for that event!
