Playing Catch-up

Our internet access has been REALLY SLOW, so I'm way behind on putting up photos.  Now that I'm in fast-speed land, I'm going to dump a load on you, and hope that I'll be able to clean it up at home before I publish.  Download time; it's a thang, I guess; and we are limited.  I hope that this week, our HughesNet guy upgrades us, so we can do what we need from now on.
Here you go!

Jeffery took his 1912 Indian down to the Antique Motorcycle Club gathering in Chico.  He's had fun being in this club.

These two bikes were my favorites, besides Jeffery's of course. I wish I'd done better showing you the running gears and chain

the Flying Merkel.  Isn't it fab?

the specs

here's my other fave

This is real!  I can't stop being tickled about it.

this bike was all tricked out with foo-feraws and gimcracks

Jeffery is going to start his Indian by peddling madly.  It would go "spoot" and "pow" and try to keep running, but not quite succeed.

the crowd really wanted Jeffery to be able to keep the Indian running.

After I left Jeffery with his biker chums, I headed to my own party-group, which I look forward to each year.

I love the colors!  I love the outfits.  I love seeing it all!

On Jeffery's actual birthday, we had a potluck for him

Jeffery, Oakley, and the King Cake.

Okay, now we're getting caught up.  This is Susanville Ranch Park, the day after Jeffery and I did the Bizz Johnson Trail.  This trail was much rougher riding, cross-country type biking, and we had a blast in the little valleys and along the creek, and in the meadows.

The trail begins

There goes Jeffery, and this shows one of the riding surfaces we rode over.

one of the many bridges we crossed.  A few were terrifyingly narrow

this entire little vale was filled with wild roses.

Main St.  Susanville.  The Pioneer Cafe houses the Lassen Brew Pub where we dined.

leaving Susanville, heading south for home via Janesville, which I've never seen

Thompson Peak from 395

we went over Janesville Grade to get to Antelope Lake for a respite and a snack

Jeffery's first dip of the year; not before Memorial Day, I tease

Love this photo; he reminds me of those snow monkeys in Japan in the hot springs pools.  No?

There we go.  I will try to get more caught up soon, but at least I caught up to where I was before.  Giggle.  Thanks for looking in!
