Well, it was a lovely ride. Went up 88 and stopped at Alps Haus cafe for sandwiches (they close for the season Thursday btw). Met a cool local guy on a Cagiva who lived off 4.
I definitely liked taking 4 going west over the pass. More fun doing the tight switchbacks uphill than down. Overall it was a gorgeous day and we had a nice ride. |

For some reason, I always end up doing 4E instead of West? Been a LONG time since I did it West for whatever reason? I'll have to make a point of doing the big loop of 108E, and then come back down 4W next time out ... who knows when that will be? Might have to move onto a different project, and hand the VFR over to my "expert"? Though he is always waaaaayyy backed up. Again ... good to hear you had a good day out! Cheers!! |

Right on Nate.
I like 4 both ways. West the uphill sweepers are sweet. How about a little drop off. Whehoo!! I feel I can be in more get my moto on for longer than E but it is still Bitchen. We are blessed with one hell of a great loop 108/88/4 is a great day or couple days ![]()

88 was definitely less interesting, especially because it had more traffic due to 50 being closed. Next time will probably go up 4 and back 108.

I did Hwy 88 a few years back mid January with Miguel, it was a dry winter, the road was clear and the temp around 50. Very much worth it when everything around is closed for the winter. I love the sweepers, most are good for > 55 mph, which is posted. |

youtu.be/a28G8MNdmAg Here's a video from our ride shot on my buddy's bike. We had a third rider behind us who we met at the Alps Haus Cafe. His name is Patricio and he was celebrating his 74th birthday with a ride on his Cagiva. He lived off 4 and we stopped at his house and he showed us pictures from his youth in a skydiving club in Argentina. It was a really fun day. Sorry about the video btw. I am not good at editing and the camera audio was terrible so I had to cover it up with music. |

Meeting Patricio sounds like a unique experience.
You appreciating it is very cool.
