[pashnit]

Hey gang, sharin' some more tour pics.

Three days in the Sierra Nevada Mountains leading another Pashnit Route with elevations over 10,000 ft! Beautiful! Led 12 tours this season and we covered well over 12,000 miles in California, Oregon & Nevada in 2013.

Scale... They are massive. Fell just recently. Last time we were here, it was standing.

Sherman Pass is the southern most paved mountain pass in the Sierra at 9200 ft. Very goaty!

Thats awesome!

I'm hoping to have a Busa by March so I can join. While i trust the hardy and only let me down once 02 Bandit 1200s... I dont trust it to 540+ miles to get to the ride start and 540+ to get back and all the riding in between... at least not that far from home.

If not the ride in march, the next one after that.

Just curious on some of those straight stretches of road.... how fast does one traverse the distances.. lol
