Day 1 was a good ride down. We hit the Parkfield for a great burger in one of the busiest earthquake areas in the country.
Thanks to Dravnx for leading the crew.
Day 2 was a fun ride up the Great Divide Hwy to the closed point, just beyond Ponderosa. Great place to stop and finding a food truck thanks to the one wheel local Lauren was a pleasure.
The Chef from the burned down Ponderosa Lodge had just opened a couple days before. The food was good and the locals were... interesting.
The road was hammered and the pace chill. Some beautiful sights of the roaring river, mountains and valleys.
