Hemet 202 Permanent

Hemet 202 Map

This sounded like a good idea when John and I worked it out. We'd get in a longer ride and some night-time riding in at the same time. How about a 2PM start? No problemo!

We finished up the night ride in good order.
Dan Phillips, Bill Stevenson, Keith Olsen, Robert Abraham, John Mestemacher and myself started out at 2:00 PM and had a good ride up to Hemet. We did take one dirt road segment just to spice things up, despirt the hoots and hollers. Keith turned around before Sage road.

After a nice break in Hemet, we did motor back and lighted up at the Sage climb. It cooled off some after we refueled at Carls' Jr in Temecula. John had a flat on the Old 395 downhill, near where Amy crashed on the SB 400 last month. I stopped to check my mini-bungee cord, which dropped down into my front wheel. John had a slo leaker tire and almost bit the bullet on a fast corner near the finish. He changed the tube at the finish. I rode home without falling asleep!

Thanks to all who did this toughie Hemet 202 in the dark!
