🌷 The Cold’s Gone. The Throttle's Open.

I don’t know about you, but the first real spring ride hits like a freight train to the soul.
Fresh asphalt. Cherry blossoms. Bugs in your teeth and fire in your belly.🔥

Every rider’s got that one route they run when winter finally stops trying to kill us.
A sacred stretch of road that burns off the frostbite and reminds you—you’re alive.

Let’s talk about it.
Better yet, let’s share it.🛣️

🌄 Blake’s Pick: The Ghost Curve Loop

I call it the Ghost Curve Loop. Twists through Redrock Hills just outside Nevada.
Elevation climbs like a rollercoaster, and the hairpins bite back if you're not dialed in.

But here’s why I love it:
Midway through, there’s this broken overlook.
Stone barrier’s been gone for years. Just you, a 300-foot drop, and God’s own view.
I park. I breathe. I remember.

Then I rip it back through that canyon like I’m twenty again. 💀🔥

💡 Pro Tip: Go Early, Ride Empty

Spring traffic can ruin a good run.
So here’s the trick: wake your ass up before the sun, skip the coffee shop, and hit that route before the tourists start yawning. 🌅

Empty roads. Cool wind. Just you, the throttle, and the beat of your own damn heart.
It’s a whole different kind of church.

Blake’s Parting Words 🗣️

Spring doesn’t ask for permission.
It just rolls in, wrecks your excuses, and whispers, “Let’s ride.”

Don’t waste it.

Ride smart, ride strong,
Blake "Iron Sage" Rivers
