Good pictures mate Why you running a wider rear tyre ?
Looks. And overcompensating.
Don't let anybody tell you it can't turn with a 200.
Well Campers, hold onto your hats. Let's go ride! September, we normally ride into the Northern Sierra Nevada range. Sept is a great time to ride as the kids are (normally) back in school, temps are starting to come down and there's a lot less traffic.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that there are forest fires everywhere in CA. I saw today some of our smoke has even reached the mid-west. Typical for this time of year, and strange to say, but it's quite normal. Although the bad news is this year has been especially bad as the sheer number of fires are producing a tremendous amount of smoke which varies day to day, but has been hanging around for days. Most of these current fires were all from lightning, interestingly enough, starting the day I shot the above photos. The lightning I photographed out over the ocean was the very storm that started all these fires. Thousands of lightning strikes (they actually count them) set off numerous fires in several parts of the state.
The problem was my September tour (scheduled a year in advance) was riding right to the fire. All the roads I planned on riding were closed, and our base hotel was only several miles from the fire line.
My tour route was headed straight towards this. See where Oroville is? Couple days before the they were evacuating the east side of the town.
But it's not the fire really, it's the smoke they produce. Smoke changes daily and there's no way to escape it.
I'm having a similar problem with my upcoming October tour. We are headed straight for this:
This was the first day of the Creek Fire due west of Fresno. The one that started first day of Labor Day weekend & the one that made national news when then they sent in a CH-47 to rescue all the campers and evac them out.
They will get this contained, and life will go on, but it produces a tremendous amount of smoke.
This is the view at my house a few days before the ride.
Yep, that's the sun. This is with the fire about 100 miles south.

So, a few days before the scheduled ride, I had an epiphany and looked up were there was no smoke. Smoke Map said along the Pacific Coast, it's better. Fine, let's do it.
Make some calls, change the meet point and send some emails- meet me in Sausalito near the Golden Gate Bridge. There are two big fires in the Northern Wilderness areas near Ruth Lake and another up near the Oregon border near Happy Camp, but they are in very remote areas and we can ride around them. Check the CalTrans website and make sure all the roads are open. Seven cancelled, but I ended up with a small group of 10, perfect number.

Can't escape construction stops.
Restaurants are open, but only outdoor seating. Easier for me to stop by a deli & get sandwiches made and have lunch along the ocean. Still heavy fog along the coast. Never did see the ocean, but that can be normal for September.
