We left San Diego last Thursday night for my first road trip to Northern California! :D

On our way to Tahoe to go ride at N* with a girl I met at the Women's Only Clinic, we decided to detour and go to San Francisco and see the sights....sorry Stosh I must have missed you. ;)

Me wandering in Chinatown


What better way to see San Francisco then all dressed up and on a DH bike? :p


On our way out of SF we passed Robin Williams...who was nice enough to smile at us as we passed him with the two DH bikes in tow.


Our gracious hosts for the weekend...Fred and Angela.


The bikes after a long hard day of riding...we took riding pics on Day 2.


Fred brought a telescope and we got to enjoy views such as this....


Riding pics up next. :D

I actually had the pleasure of hangin' out w/ Robin at N* once during the winter. He was learning to snowboard so we took a few runs together. Super cool cat!

Hey Shyrmp.
Pleasure meeting you this past weekend. I had a great time riding with you and Orven at N*. You were rippin' it up.
It was great meeting you, I can't wait for you to come down to Big Bear so we can ride together again.

At the end of the day and getting ready for the long ride home. It was a great trip! :)

Someday, I am definitely going to make it to Northstar. In general, when do their lifts close, i.e. early September, late October, etc.?

Dude the guy has a telescope that size in his house!?!? BAD ASS!
It was a telescope he brought with us while we were camping out in Tahoe.


The observatory you see in the background of the picture of Angela and Fred is near Sacaramento..Fred is the director...so he let us go in and take a look. :D

Looking at their website it look like from June-Sept 6 of this year they are open all week

And then from Sept 10-Oct 10, only on the weekends with a note saying the days are subject to change without notice.
