As many of you know from an earlier post, Santa made an early stop in December and gave Mrs. Lefty a 2011 Yamaha XT250. As Mrs. Lefty hasn't ridden in almost 20 years, she immediately took the MSF course, passed with flying colors and got her license the following week. After gearing up, we've been venturing farther and farther out from home as she gets used to her new bike. Today we hit the twisties on this map...
San Carlos, CA to San Carlos, CA - Google Maps
The first 15 miles on Hwy 35 had been recently chip sealed but she rode it like a champ. We stopped in Pescadero at around the halfway point for lunch at Duarte's, a 120 year old landmark, and rode home. On the way back a small doe shot across the road just in front of Mrs. Lefty but she managed to shut off the throttle just in time to miss the little critter by a couple of feet.
She's quite a girl and a lot of fun to ride with, especially with the Sena communicators. I shot a little video and a pic at the restaurant which I hope you'll enjoy.
