2008 SPAMS Ride - Day 1 - 5/31/2008

We met up in Cle Elum on a sunny morning and rode off down thru the Yakima canyon road to Toppenish then to Athena , Oregon.
We stopped there for a break and lady was handing out Kiwanis bike rally fliers for Pendleton, more on this later. We then down
drove to Enterprise before we had some light rain and cool temps but you could smell the grass and sagebrush. In those canyons
we had to be a bit careful with the wet rode so Greg and I hung back and tested his knobby tires on the KLR 650 and me on the
Z6 Metzlers to see their stickiness. The Z6's are great and we had a nice ride anyway. Great  stop for a Mexican dinner in
Lewiston and a rest was needed for day 2.
