With any luck, that rain front to the north will move down and help extinguish the King fire.

So it's not all bad.

Dub, you made it back already? How was it?

The three of us had a great ride. No trouble from Leo, no bambi sightings, traffic was manageable, and not a single drop of rain all day.

You were right to skip it though. There were pine needles on Ebbetts and some gravel on Sonora; you would have had a terrible time.

You guys made good time. Glad you had a safe and dry trip. Sure didn't miss any good football.

Very funny Mel. Not!

I had to ride in Reno to get rained on I guess. I actually did get rained on today.

5.5 hours of ride time and 8 hours total time door to door for me.

Good, fun ride, definitely a bit of an endurance run.

Just got back into Reno, good ride today guys.

Thought for sure leaving this morning we'd catch some rain but glad we made it with none at all.

I had a good time on it, scenery was great, cars were minimal and the no divider line didn't bother me as it seemed plenty wide.

This was also my first run on Sonora also, I'd have to say I like Sonora a bit more, the scenery a bit more grander and minimal traffic as well this time of year. However, Monitor remains my favorite of the three.
