Anybody riding today or tomorrow? (04/22/12)

I'm thinking of riding Sunday (04/22/12).  Anybody got ideas for good destinations?

Several of us are getting together for an exploratory ride into the Sierras tomorrow.  North route departure @9:30 or thereabouts.

Just finished a 425 mile ride. Butt is sore. Need more seat time before I try and keep up with GreenMachine.

Are you getting in shape for the August Fecta ride?  It's gonna be a hoot.  Where'd you go today for 425 miles?

Quite the lovely day for a ride.  We had two hour pizza in Downieville, which was very warm by the way.  Then we went a little further down Hwy 49 before turning back.  Some of us got some unneeded attention, but nothing bad.  Just verbal reprimands.   I was getting schooled today by the pros and was just far enough out of sight not to be dragged into any of that mess. 

There was some other drama from today's ride too or so Brian and I thought.   Thought someone got their bike impounded, but not even close.  It ran out of fuel.   That's better than the alternative and a little bit of payback for not starting exactly where we said we would.  Stopped at some of the better spots for shade, water and scenery. 

Still too sandy for about four miles on both sides of Yuba Pass to push anything more than a C pace.  It doesn't look bad riding up front, but is all too apparent for those following.  Snow still covers the summit, which made for a chilly ride for those with textile gear.  The ride to/from Downieville was kinda a sweatfest.  I was in full leathers, so it just felt good to me.  I've always liked this route.  What a treat!

I rode to Marin on Saturday for a friends concert and party with some BARFers and then back today.
Was weird to break out the summer riding gear!

I concur on the sand. Hwy 50 over the summit was like dirt biking in spots.

One of the highlights for sure was Tom's recap of his police encounter when the officer aparently complimented my riding.

Eleanor decided to go over Monitor, which was as clean as a day in July...just perfect! No cops either!
A little to early for Yuba.

  What I've been saying about your riding all along.
