Ride Through Yosemite Ntl Park

[HeathersWheels]

Steve took these pictures. This is his ride report. I would have written one, but I was so tired after the long ride I slept (a lot). It was a great day though. I kicked back in my side car and watched the road and looked out over the valleys.

 

Father's Day Yosemite Natonal Park Ride 2009

 

Thanks all for coming, we had a small group of of 8 bikes for our Father's day ride. The weather was great in the 70's all day and clear sky's. When we got to the park we were told it was a FREE day and they let us roll in.

 

At the Half Dome Photo spot we stop for a photo or 3...Left to right, Mike JR, Mike, Lucy, Jerry and Kenny the Helmet head.

On the way to the valley floor of the park we stop a number of times to take photos.

Great pics, Heather - thank you for sharing. Looks like you and Steve and friends had a GREAT time - good thing mama bear decided she wasn't hungry - . Hard to believe the roads were that empty

There was some crowding. Had to watch out for pedestrians as they like to park on side of road and stroll across.
