"LAST CALL" for any other riders interested in going on this ride tomorrow morning.

I have my entire local group confirmed, a total of 7 riders. There's always room for more!!! :eek:
 
Did the over 350 mile round-trip ride on Saturday 10/11/14 from the San Fernando Valley up to Lake Isabella with a group of friends, see route below. No other NC700X's on this ride though. There was a total of 7 riders, two of which were not on Hondas.

The best part of the ride was when we got onto Old Kern River Canyon Rode. The route was clear most of the way over the way up. A rider on a BMW F800 challenged me through the most twistiest part of the route. I am pleased to say that I kept him at bay and NaNCy performed very will through those narrow twisty roads. Dropped her into "S-Mode" and I was off...

My phone died halfway through the trip, my GPS App drained the battery faster than expected. Also demanding my charge cable did not help either.

Sorry that some you all could not make it for this ride...
