Shame on them... Red Lion Bikers have early night

Six bleary eyed blokes emerged into the Vasalia sun on Thursday morning for our penultimate day on the bikes but yet again one which promised some spectacular scenery as we rode through Yosemite National Park. At a first stop for fuel (ten minutes down the road) several cans of redbull were purchased and Digger must have been feeling bad as he did a Big Mac for breakfast which gives you an idea as to how delicate we were all feeling. The day was another cracker and maybe the pictures will do a better job than my words in telling you how stunning this place is. The day was highlighted by Neil's sighting of a wolf (he claims to have video evidence of this but all we can see is a tiny dot which could be a Poodle), to put this in context he also claims to have met Elvis in Las Vegas, saw Shergar in a field near Fresno and thinks that every American with a beard must have been in ZZTop. In the bar of the Cedar Lodge where we stayed, I later enjoyed a pint with a guy who works for the national park and he was describing to me how his wolf suit really gets hot during the summer months.

As the bar closed early we all had a relatively early night. No phone signal here, no broadband... this really is the wilderness
