Fallen trees, downed motorcycles, flat tires... wow, what a great ride!The last "long" Sunday to ride, with daylight saving time ending soon... would have been nice to head to the Sierras for a last shot at Sonora Pass, but that wasn't in the cards (too long a drive after a typically-busy Saturday at the shop). That meant one (last?) Santa Cruz loop, what's become "the usual" 115-mile ride. But this ride was a bit more "eventful" than most, starting with a treek that had fallen across Pescadero road within a minute or two prior to our arrival (we were the first ones on the scene, along with a couple of motorcyclists on the other side), plus two flat tires (both Kevin's) (that's Kevin my son, not the pilot), plus a downed motorcycle (descending 84, just a corner ahead of us).
16.2 mph average speed, a substantial improvement from the 13.8s or so that Kevin used to post for longer rides. Also noteworthy was a lack of either seizures or double vision, two too-frequent issues arising from his epilepsy. I'm looking forward to a day when a lack of seizures isn't noteworthy. |
