Another day trip

[Kento-Moto]

Well here we go again...

I posted up at 4 web sites that I was gonna ride on tuesday, I had 4 riders planning to join me and 1 by 1 they all bailed. ):

But thats ok because I had plenty of time to shoot 185 photo's!

Here's a teaser :

Left home at 6 am arrived at hwy 36 off I-5 at about 7 am Awesome road!

Made it out to a side road I read about on Pashint.com South Fork Mt rd also know as US Forrest Service rd #1

The views were incredible! and this ridge road goes for 50+ miles!

The coast to the west was socked in with fog ( good thing I didnt ride the coast cold & wet ! )

Ridge forest

With absolutely no traffic or cops I removed the lid and rolled along at about 25 mph or so stopping every few minutes to take some pics.

 

[Kento-Moto]

The road went on & on and I was diggin every mile

 

[Kento-Moto]

The road surface was pretty good but was not real conducive to high speed. Did I mention the views?

Got down to hwy 299 west of Redding and headed back toward the valley. This Trinity river winds it's way through the canyon.

Looks like it was a great ride.. I'm jealous as I haven't had the opportunity to take an extended ride like that. Only have one day off (and I'm counting it as a day off because I don't go to the office, and any work I'm doing from home) and my rides have been short jaunts so I can be sure to spend some time with my 3 year old. I'm going to have to teach her to help me out with the maintenance on the bike so I at least can keep my hands on it while we're hanging out. Anyway, thanks for the pics.
