That road!

Horns on a Ford, as you do.........

Just a bike pic....

We are about 200 miles north of SFO now. No people around; just us and the water. The wide open areas devoid of anything manmade are a refreshing view, The road goes inland at times, taking us through redwood forests before depositing us back on the coast. Kinda cool.

Bikes n water....

After SFO, we're on the coastal road leading to northern Cali. The temps dropped dramatically and there's a constant on shore sea breeze mixed with bright sun. Hard to beat the weather....

.Slept overnight at a really nice hotel in downtown San Francisco courtesy of my wife's company. Best hotel of the trip. They opened up a locked bar area and let us grab what we wanted. Bar and restaurant still closed due to Covid. Up the next day and headed north. Passed some little red bridge....

Gotta love Cali for fuel prices. Almost double what it is back home. Their taxes make for high prices.

More...

This road had loads of curves plus good elevation changes. The surface was beyond smooth. Such a joy to ride.

Nice!

Really had a great ride through these hills and streams in the area...

After riding straight, flat desert for 2 days, it's a relief to be riding this rollercoaster....

yup. Full of runoff from snowmelt - it'll soon be dry though.`

This road leads us through Bridgeport, CA and up and over Sonora Pass....

Once up into the hills, the temps drop and we look back at the road we came in on....

Crossing into Cali - those mountains are on the border...

in northern california now with extremely slow internet that cant upload pics, gimme a day or so to resume

95F / 35C temps = warm enough for me! Room looked like someone puked on the walls.

Forgot thsi one. @Pedro mighjt like it. Stopped at a hole in the wall place for dinner last night. Debbie and Todd ordered some of their finest wine. It was severed in a full pint beer glass. Stay classy, Nevada!

Today, Sunday, we cross into California and on to San Francisco for the night, Kore as it happens...

545 miles later and we're in the oh so swanky Hawthorne Inn. Looks like 1970 in here with the orange walls and old furniture, but we were lucky to get a room. Place is sold out as there's not a lot else within 100 miles....

200 miles between fuel stations nearly caught me out - made it with 13 miles to spare..

The area overstates the whole ET thing in an effort to drum up some tourism

This went on for 500 miles today. Boring as shit but still kinda cool to be out here all alone....
