Solo, I'd probably go no further than one of the standard Marin Loops

In a small group I was thinking Mt. Hamilton via Livermore.

I have a dream that one day MLK jr. Day will be a real holiday that I get off. Until then, I'll be dreaming of you guys going to Mt Hamilton and back.

So take some friggin' pictures and post them so we working sod's can looky at least. Grin

So... the bike is running then?

I gotta meeting at 10 else I might do it. Of course my butt is a bit tender after a 100 miles on the Vespa today. Jackie's sister was in town so we did a scooter loop in Marin. (It takes a lot longer on a scooter than on a Ducati, for some reason.)

Nah, no hooligan chops what with the missus and her sisiter along. I had to behave myself.

And yeah, Mill Valley > Stinson > Pt. Reyes Sta. > Tomales > Chileno Valley > Nicasio > Lucas Valley Rd = ~100 miles.

And I don't mind starting late if you're up for a later ride... after all I want to avoid people going to work. Grin

Not to rub it in, but today was pretty much the best day of riding I've had in about 5 years.

The roads were clean, not a lot of traffic, the temperatures were perfect, and it was so clear the Farallon Islands looked like they were a mile offshore. Plus everything was green for a change.

My only regret is I didn't leave until about 11:30 and that I ate lunch at some overpriced diner in Pt. Reyes instead of holding out for oysters in Tomales Bay Grin

Ended up joining up with a few different packs of riders during the ride. A gaggle of supermotos heading into Stinson Beach, and then random solo sportbike riders for the rest of the trip.

Also only saw two LEOs the whole ride: Followed a highway patrol car going down into Stinson for a mile or two, and a local cop somewhere near Two Rock (I think. I was sort of meandering around there)

Also sighted a 696 (two up) stopped by the turnoff for Bolinas. Anyone ? Bueler? Anyone?

What a day what a day.
I finally got out and did a baby loop around the headlands. It was incredible. Very few cars that were easy to get by - the view amazing.
More of that please.
