Feather River Run - June 18, 2011

Thanks guys. I had a great time.

It was a shame that some folks got in trouble with the cops.

The fresh asphalt on the lower Feather River run that was new enough to be racetrack smooth, but old enough not to be kicking up wads of tar was a Christmas present in June!

And I found that I actually enjoyed being behind some slower traffic. Gave me a chance to slow down, put it in 6th and cruise for some fuel economy while I waited for a dashed yellow line to drop the hammer and let the engine loose.

Next time I'll have some FRS radios so I won't get split up from the group (twice!)

What kind of trouble did people get into? I only saw one cop, but I only went as far as Oroville

Phil, glad you made it out and no sense taking the new 370Z to the limit when still in break in stage.

I too was happy with the smooth as a babies bottom road surface on the decnt down into the canyon.

Twice, I only saw it once on hwy 99 out of SAC. FRS is a plus.
