i have gas
Had a nice little weekend ride starting from Newark, stopping in Modesto
to stay with friends then heading out on Saturday morning.
Took a half day on Friday ( the 9th) to head out through traffic and stay the night in Modesto.
Saturday morning all fresh and prepped we stop at Perko's on Oakdale for breakfast. Myself and my GF on the ST2 with my friend ( Rick ) and his daughter ( Alicia ) on his HD Glide. WE then headed out on 132 towards Coulterville for a short break and stretch. The original plan was to go up 49 and jump on 120. After talking with a couple of lovely women at the Trading Post on Main St ( J20).
They recommended going up Greely Hill Rd ( J132) and Smith Station Rd
( J20) and then jump on 120. Well worth it I might add :thumbup
Next we make it to the 120 Tioga Pass and take a short break.
Let me tell you it was smoky out there. Visibility was poor due to fires and
air quality was poor. Still a few breathtaking views.
I didn't take any pictures due to the smoke in the air. Visibility was one or two peaks out, then nothing but grey .....
Up and over 120 at a snails pace. Ricks HD had a hard time going up and needed a decent run for passing. We took a short break at the Tioga Lodge parking lot. Up and out to 395 with a stop for gas and decide on where to eat. A short trip up to Bridgeport for a much needed food stop at Sportsmans Inn and Restaurant next to the Bodie Victorian.
Bacon Mushroom Swiss Burger and Garlic Seasoned Fries. Juicy and Dripping I'll stop there.
After a late lunch we continued up 395 crossing over to 50 and up 341 to Virginia City where we unpacked and spent the night at The Silverland Inn and Suites.
But for dinner we walked up to C Street and found Frontier Trading Post
Comstock Corner. Good food nice owners and dessert was , was ,was,,,
I can't finish because I'm drooling.
Next post the ride back .
