When I get back on a real computer instead of my phone I'll update the list.

Depends where you be heading-I'm lazy 'bout leaving the Peninsula these days.


I can take a passenger on that beast of mine.

[mostrobelle]

We'll get the schedule and route worked out soon.  Thought I'd try to make my way back to the west coast first...stuck here in New Jersey for a few more days due to the blizzard.

I was really missing being in my helmet and got out today. It wasn't the high performance ride. I just tooled down HWY 1 south peninsula and over 84.

BLISS

Caught an awesome sunset on the way back.
The air is weirdly warm from the storms, the roads dry enough, the sun was out in full force. I hope we get another day like today on the 1st.  [moto]

road report 12/27/2010
Hwy1 Marin pretty dang good actually, though places in the trees like Dogtown is full of leaves and pretty wet. On the way there though, Mill Valley is wet.
HWY 1 south peninsula quite good as well.
84 pretty wet and draining
35 piles of pine needles and draining roads. Slime and dirt.

I will try.

[mostrobelle]

Always a pleasure to have you along, Jim... if I ever get off the east coast I'll really be looking forward to this.

[tigre]

I'm a definite "maybe"

[mostrobelle]

Cool. 

So what are people's preferences on route?  North Bay or South Bay....

[Desmostro]

Can't get out tomorrow so I got out today for a lil' spin.

Cool.  

So what are people's preferences on route?  North Bay or South Bay....

Drove(yesterday) report south bay:
35 Wet with abundant piles of  pine needles
1 peninsula decent good shape
84 and pescadero pretty mucky and full if leaves.

Northbay (today) super fun
1 pretty good shape south of Stinson.
Watch for gravel at bottom of hills. Some water crossings, but not bad.
However, it's 2:30pm and it's 44F.

The paint stripes are extra slick even dry from dust. Cross DY with extreme caution.

Ask MM about north of Stnson. Last week it was pretty good after rains.

Color me maybe!
