Title: Anyone else go for a ride this weekend?
Post by: houndguy on August 03, 2014, 11:42:09 AM
Sadly could not find anyone to ride this weekend.  So I went by myself.

I work weekends and the weather has been hit and miss around here as of late, so I can't take the chance of even riding into work. Thanks for posting up the picks

After a week of 24 hr on call, I had to go for a ride.  Gathered my fly rod an headed from Anchorage to Girdwood on my '13 Xciting 500Ri.  The drive down the Seward Hwy. was spectacular as usual with the sun gleaming off the snow capped peaks and glaciers.  A light breeze offset the 75 degree temps. The 55 & 65 speed limit made the guard rails, only 6 feet away, flicker like a silent movie reel.  Arriving at Glacier and California Creeks, I spent 3 hours fishing for silver salmon but only catching humpies.  Took in a couple of yards sales the local '60s hippies were running.  Then it was time for an early dinner at Chair 5 restaurant, a big nacho platter.  Yummie.  The ride back into town was a bit challenging with sun in my face at some point in every turn.  Nope I didn't take any pictures, maybe next time when I go for silvers on 20 Mile river.

I got out on Sunday morning for the sole purpose of filming my first moto vlog. Link to come.

I got out for an hour or so Saturday morning after work. Mostly just around town to make sure it would keep running.
Had a stall out on the way home from work due to gravel dust that got into the airbox on my last day off. Had to give it a thorough cleaning. Next time I ride down that gravel access road, I'm gonna remember to clean the airbox and filter as soon as I get home, rather than letting it linger for a couple days!  ::)
