Thanks Spud for your comments. In fact, my goal for this year is ride the entire route between october and november, because I'm a winter man (ski instructor here in Chile and Andorra, north hemisphere), so, I have not summers....
This is the route I rode (in black with some dots). 3 days riding form 11 AM to 5 PM, from 400 ft to 4.000 ft above sea level, about 500 Km and very gently.

Great pictures, Jaume! That looks like a fantastic ride!

Will do. I was going to build it myself, but apparently they only ship them built now for $199. But no extra charge for installing accessories. I reserved mine at the $2895 intro price, so I got a great deal.

I got a little worried when Ryan said they were out of red, which is what I had reserved, but he double checked and they had set it aside for me. So all is good. Can't wait!

Remarkable pictures.

Maybe this could prompt an informal contest; post pics of your RX3 in the most beautiful place you can find.

Thanks for giving us another report of excellent customer service from CSC. I'm very glad you are finally able to receive your bike, and you still got it at the introductory price.

I'm sure you are busy now, since it is winter in the southern hemisphere. When you ride your trip at the end of the year, please take lots of photographs, and share them with us in an extended thread in our Ride Report Forum.

I just got back from a trip to Grand Teton National Park. Both the RX3 and my Catoma Lone Rider tent worked great. I will post a ride report with more photos later this evening.

I will give an update on the tent at my Catoma tent thread.

Basically, everything about the tent is great. It fits on the bike well, it has a good size, and it sets up and takes down unbelievably quickly.

Thanks for the great pics, Spud. My first camping trip in many, many years was to Sturgis last year and finding those quiet spots that you've pictured was impossible. I certainly learned a new definition of wild life. I'll be looking for more out of the way places in the future.

Went on a little adventure today. Still learning to ride, but no better way then to take ride with some diversity.

Decided to check out a road called Nate Harrison Grade that leads up to Palomar Mtn. State Park.

First stop was a break at the gas station on the Rincon indian reservation next to the Harrah's casino. I'm cheap, so on with my ride!



Found the road and started the accent. The Northwest corner of Palomar is in the background.



Here is looking down onto the lower portion of the grade and out to the Pacific.



Here is were I dumped my bike doing a low speed turn. Had to be done! Nothing broken, just scratched paint and plastic. Lots of really nice habitat and many plants seemed to be in full bloom.



Put on 80 miles or so today, on top of my first 105 (probably 6 or more small trips combined). Haha! Almost time for my 1st oil change.

That's it for now.

Thanks for posting the ride report and the nice photos. We love to see photos of bikes in their native habitats.

Don't worry about dropping the bike; I drop my bikes in the dirt all the time.
