Sport Touring ride passing Lake Berryessa, thru Knoxville to Lower Lake. Return thru Middletown and Pope Valley. :thumbup
Meet at Cordelia Starbucks 4490 Central Way (Suisun Valley Rd exit off Hwy 80 near Hwy 680) @ 9:45, gassed and caffeined up. Kickstands up @ 10am. I’ll leave Pleasant Hill $Bux, 1978 Contra Costa Blvd @ 9am.
Total mileage 152 miles. Total time including stops about 6 hours. Back to Cordelia about 4pm.
This is a ride for experienced riders on appropriate motos and safety gear in good condition, especially that most important equipment inside your helmet.
The pace will generally be moderate with some spirited sections. :ride
There will be a few short stops to regroup, refuel, stretch, and smell the flowers. Please no crazy riding, ride safely at a moderate pace. Be sure your bike and the rider are in good condition and wear appropriate safety gear. Bring money for gas, lunch, and snacks.
Remember, Ride Your Own Ride. You are responsible for yourself. Many of these roads are challenging, twisty, mountainous, and remote. There are conditions such as continuous steep grades, decreasing radius turns, loose gravel, wildlife, narrow roads with steep exposure, bicyclists, Sunday drivers, and other hazards. Share the Road. Use your Head before your Twist your Wrist. And, doh, Enjoy the Ride!
If you leave the group, please let me know your intentions.
