Last Saturday some of us in our riding club went on the Bikers For Education poker run, starting from Fallbrook, CA and ending in Valley Center, CA.

At the end of the poker run, we were kicking back listening to the live band, waiting the hear the results of the "best bike" contest. A guy from Quick Throttle Magazine walked up the microphone and began talking before announcing the winners.

He mentioned "...and now that riding season has begun..."

I looked at Dave and asked, "riding season"? We started making a joke out of it.

Here in Southern California, it's always riding season. I'm sure in other parts of the country, it snows and ices up consistently during colder months, and thus, there is indeed a riding season. But the guys from Quick Throttle are actually based in Southern California, so I'm not sure what they were talking about.

Moreover, I didn't know that riding season had an official start date!

Anyways, one of the guys in our club complained that we didn't ride enough. Now we have an excuse. It wasn't riding season.

Check out my photos of the BFE Poker Run.
