Re: Thank you California

It's good like that all up and down the state. I once logged 3,000 miles in 10 days without ever leaving the state or taking the same road twice. I think I rode the freeway for a total of about 50 miles, too.

Re: Thank you California

Yep, it's all good. If you decide to do "the State", let me know, so I can co-ride with you through the great Central Valley and Coastal route roads.

It would be my pleasure, and help shake the cobwebs off.

You're welcome.
Since I have been f%#ked by Ohlins, and then Honda, my bike sits with 1 fork shock just when the sun finally comes out.

Re: Thank you California

Well Rented a Bike again this last weekend since I was back in Cali

This time,

I did 150 through Ojai
Then 33 to 166 to the ocean then up to Cambria

Did the loop around Cambia then 46.
Unfortuantely the hotels were all full and had to go upto King City for a hotel.
Next day did 58 around black mountain then to 33 to Taft then back down 33 to 150 and back to Long Beach BMW.

Over all very nice ride. Did see someone had a prety bad crash on 33 on Sunday, it looked very ugly, I hope the rider survived.

Re: Thank you California

I did 33 Sat Ojai and back.

Construction and gravel from 166 to the base of the hill of 33 was BAD. Hope it was better for you. I was tempted to turn around and 166 to 58 back. Haven't been 58 this year, clean?

Re: Thank you California

33 does still have construction on it, atleast when I was there. 58 was nice plus there is a section that looks like it was just paved and it was a very twisty bit.
