CMA SOCAL Seasons of Refreshing

Had a great day at Seasons of Refreshing.  Good if boring ride up there (making time on the freeway).  Great time catching up and preparing for the meeting, then got to lead the new members' class.  Seeing the CMA Ministry Training DVDs reminded me of how solid the basic training we have as a motorcycle ministry is.  I'd encourage all "old" members review the DVDs, VHS or audio cassettes they have or can borrow.  Hey, we've been around a while, but I don't think there are 8-track team training tapes, but I may be wrong!

On the way home, decided to take the Ortega Highway over to the 15 instead of just retracing I-5 to 78 to the 15 yet again.  Good ride as I managed to get across before dark.  Caught up with a long string of cars coming down into Lake Elsinore, but slowing down was ok, as the wind was pretty gusty and the bike wanted to stand back up if I didn't lean it into the curves forcefully.  That's never fun-do that when the gust lets up, and you may be into the other lane, or worse the mountain, or even worse, off the road on the "downhill" side.  After a quick stop to take off sunglasses and put on sweatshirt, rolled home in time for supper.

Overall a good and blessed day!
