I've been asked by several members of this forum to let them know when we do this ride again. In particular, my friend Alan has never experienced any of Nor Cal on a motorcycle and so I told him that I'd take him on this route. Alan wants to roll now but we have to wait until they cleared the roads of snow. So, we will be doing this ride in the spring and quite possibly on a short notice of only a week or two.
If you've never rode with me and my road dogs before (not talking about a GTG), you should know that we ride at a spirited pace. If you're interested in joining us for this next ride, shoot me a PM (private message) or just post it here.
We will be changing the route just a bit. As we leave San Diego we will go up over the grapevine, up Hwy. 99 through Madera, Mariposa, to Angel's Camp (where we'll hook up with other Nor Cal members). Then we'll ride Hwy. 4 up over Ebbetts Pass to 395 North to Lake Tahoe.
If you've never rode Ebbetts Pass before, let me just say it's one of the most interesting motorcycle roads in this country. You can go back through this report to see photos of some of the places we'll be riding but below are pics just of Ebbett's Pass.....
