Prairie City SVRA Ride October 31, 2015

I wanted to get my bike off road and there is not much in the way of dirt around where I live. As a result I decided to ride an hour and a half to Rancho Cordova which is a little east of Sacramento off Highway 50. There is a small off road park there which I wanted to check out called Prairie City SVRA. Nice easy ride on Highway 80 to Highway 50 to get to the park. I stopped at the ranger station to see what the park was all about and was let in for free which was nice. Once inside the park I rode around for an hour or so in the dirt and stopped to watch the dirt bike races going on. There was so much activity in the park and it felt a little weird on my bike with everyone else on dirk bikes and all dressed up for the occasion. My bike felt very solid in the dirt and I never even stopped to turn off the ABS and ESA. No problems at all although every once in a while on the area with small pebbles it felt that with one mistake the bike could have gone down.

Black Diamond Mines Ride October 25, 2015

I woke up this morning with no where to ride and wanted a quick get away. Decided to ride out to Black Diamond Mines in Antioch (suggested by my wife) since I at least needed a destination to get out on the bike.

Easy ride down Highway 4 to Antioch and was a very nice day out for October. Sunny and about 75 degrees.
