Mines and Mt Hamilton Roads: The Official Thread

[Tom G]

There is usually some invisible sand on the east side of the observatory. Several riders have been caught off guard over the years. Color blends in with the road.

The dirty 130 and Mines are not roads that you trifle with if you are a sporting rider.

 

[ttsang91]

My main concern is whats better....western bacon burger or those fish tacos...

Yes, and one should always remember to check their tire pressures before riding there.

Just rode it from SJ to Livermore, the road isn't bad but I was taking it easy. There are spots where there is dirt and moisture but it is what it is and that ain't bad.

That is a good idea.

I know I do.

 

[tzrider]

It's something I aspire to.

SVJ and I rode up yesterday from Livermore. I couldn't believe how clean the road was for a winter ride. Couple corners with some gravel but not much at all. Even the known corners to house gravel were clean.

Some damp spots under the trees though. Still have to be careful out there.

Junction is open Fri-Monday right now. Summer hours to be announced in a few months.

You must be lots of fun at parties.

Just rode it, a bit wet in areas, sand near the peak. Otherwise not bad.

 

[Escape pod]

Clean swept all natural or Bad, I'll ride it! And smile while doing it.

The tamales are exceptional.

It was pretty clean for what Mines is .... hauled ass up/down Hamilton. Del Puerto is still pretty crappy and broken pavement in corners on the outside line so be careful on that road ....

Does anyone know who is the dickhead on the red BMW R1200RT?

 

[sportbiker929]

Thanks Gents!

Dude, I wanna party with you!
Er, I have. You rock.
