That’s a lovely CB-1 you were riding,Rick. :thumbup
I was riding a KLX 250

:thumbup Thanks, Eric. Had a great time.

That was the whole idea (to disorient you) :laughing

I'm sure Ichabod, our navigator/stars gazer will list all the roads we took, or better yet post a google map link

It worked really well. I got on Google maps and tried to untangle but gave up. I gotta get a phone mount.

It doesn't matter how much you know. Mehran knows every road in the state I think. And if I'm along, he makes sure to include the ones with the biggest potholes....:rofl
Mad

Mehran is also skilled at finding wet tarmac in the middle of a California summer :laughing

Damn, I hope this again sometime soon! I love newbie rides but there never seem to be enough of them!

Thanks ichabod for posting the info :thumbup.

After the ride I still had an itch so I went: CA-35, Alpine Road, San Gregorio, Tunitas Creek, Alice's, Pagemill Road, home. Google maps limits routes to a ridiculously low number of destinations making it a PITA to map the group route never mind the additional miles I rode. Is there a way to easily map multiple destinations?

Rick, I find "Ride with GPS" (RGPS) very easy to use. check out this example:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/21877992

I only the free service. But you can upgrade, get the app and then your smart phone becomes a navigation device too. You can use your account RGPS account from PM, LapTop, iPad, Phones, etc. Plan routes, edit them, build a library of routes, share them, edit them, etc. And the beayty of it is that you can then also import/export to GPX format for use on Garmin devices :bump

Hey Merhan, thanks for the lead :thumbup. I downloaded "Ride with GPS" to my phone and also played with it online. More intuitive and stable than Google maps.

After the the group dispersed I rode a tiny bit more :ride
