Ride to Belcarra

Last weekend we had 11 bikes go on a group ride to Belcarra Park



For once it was a sunny day. We had quite the mix of machines from motorcycles to maxi-scooters. We even had a Vespa 500cc MP3 . Our group leader today was Tom

It was also nice to see my previously sold, Kymco X500Ri

We actually had two Kymco X500Ri today as well as a Honda Silverwing 600. It is hard to believe that many of these riders graduated from 49cc's

We have found that meeting at a Chevron station works out the best because there is room to park and some show up with empty tanks

It is written in stone that all rides must terminate at a restaurant, and this was no different

There wasn't enough on street parking so we had to park with the peasants

The food was fresh and well prepared. Another nice day doing what we like to do; ride & eat with friends

I wish to thank David for recommending an APP for my iPhone4 which produces Track Logs, called Easytrails GPS6 . This app produces KMZ and GPX files which can be recognized by maps.google or googleEarth (respectively) . Now I am able to show you our route without having to do the tedious process of drawing that blue line on google maps and getting frustrated in the process. From my understanding the iPhone4 has a GPS receiver and is able to track your route without having to access the internet. It also records your distance, speed and altitude and provides graphs of your route
