    Sierra passes that are closed for the winter

    Will not be open, for the Memorial day Weekend. And there isn't a projected day, because the road clearing crews don't know what they are getting into, until they get there. It's snowing up there right now. This comes from an official source that can not be quoted. Just wanted to let...

    Bat Shit Crazy, is too common

    The thread about the Missile launch off the CA Coast..gives quite a look at Colleen Thomas. Her imaginary world, and events, isn't that out of comparison to quite a lot of what we live with. Trade some labels..replace the Pleiadean civilization and Reptilian whatevers, with God-Angels...

    Tioga, Sonora, Ebbetts passes closed

    Ebbetts opened

    If you like extra challenge to your challenges, Ebbetts has them right now. Some sand, some water flowing across the road, some water in some sand. Lots more blind corners with the snow banks. :thumbup Just be super alert, and ride in (not beyond) your sight lines :ride

    7 bikes going down from oil trap

    The great picture of the streak of oil across the road where visability is shortened with a bank where the road bends, brings up another subject. That hazard even though it was intensionally laid down, isn't overwhelming. It only becomes overwhelming to a type of rider. Does identifying...
