Quick Jawbone Ride
Posted: October 8th, 2007, 7:02 pm
Took the family out to Jawbone Sunday for a hillclimb/putt day.
We had our two new foster girls, both my boys, the wife and I. We took the boys bikes, the wifes Recon and a three wheeler ( yep no 500 yet
).
We ended up meeting Glen Howell and his wife Linda with one of his Sanddrag bikes and a little pit bike he has setup for racing. Glen allowed my 16 yr old a chance to hit the smaller hills on his drag bike!! Talk about making a kids day!! Matt had a grin about a mile long!!
Thanks again Glen you are surely one class act!!!!!
We also ended up meeting the peace sign waving, wheelie popping, crazy KTM rider Myron ( I think that was his name). On Matt second attempt up the hill he and Myron raced with Myron only pulling just slightly ahead. Matt would only shift up to third gear because that was what Glen had told him. If Matt would have hit fourth it probably would have been a different story.
After that Glen challenged Myron to a race but Myron wanted a running start at the hill and Glen wanted to start at the base of the hill.
All in all we had alot of fun and were glad to find out the little ones didn't mind being out there.
