Lake Pleasant

Mike Balzer and his 1997 Ski Centurion V-drive Elite

After battling the perfect storm which seemed to erupt right over Pleasant and cancel our plans for about 90 minutes Mike called me and asked how "Hard Core" I was and if I was up for some riding even if it was raining, but the lightning had subsided. I grabbed my gear, met him and Steve Jenkins at his place and the three of us were off. Mike's boat was in dry storage in the mud pit and his tahoe wasn't prepared to do battle with nasty mud driving. After being pelted by mud bombs, we drop the boat in the water and actually salvaged a great day. I was trying to improve on my riding from Friday , Balzer was working on his Crow and Steve "I feel like a Mack Truck ran me over" Jenkins, he was just surviving working on Raleys. Thanks Mike!! I know I had a great time on your boat and I look forward to the next time we can ride together.
