Quimby, Mt Ham, SAV and Mines weren't too bad, and mostly dry. There were thin layers of mud, dirt, debris and water run offs here and there, but the thick mud were scraped off by road maintenance crews.

Starting from the bridge on SAV there were several "road closed" signs. I didn't know why so I pressed on, since I wanted to see where the washed out section is on Mines.

Turned out the SAV closure was due to a PG&E crew working to replace 2 poles. They were so nice and courteous - moved 2 trucks and lifted the downed lines to let me go thru. They said they'd let bikes thru, but probably not cars. The downed lines were not live, but they didn't want anyone driving over them to avoid further damaging the insulated wires.

The Junction. Looked like Del Puerto Canyon was open, but there were "Road Closed" signs on both Mines and SAV.

Mines - 6 miles from the Junction. I didn't see a way to get across this.

Mines, heading back toward San Jose. The bike was already very dirty from the last 2 rides so more mud didn't bother me, but the radiator getting clogged with mud and sand made the bike ran hotter than usual. The temp gauge was showing 9-10 bars out of 12, even in this cool ambient.

SAV. I was wondering if the PG&E crew would work past dark. Turned out they expected to be there till at least mid-night; had to get it done. They'll also work on Saturday and Sunday.

Mt Hamilton. Something was going on. (I didn't see anything but I'm guessing someone ran off the road.) A ranger parked on the road with his emergency lights on. Further down, 3 big fire engines, 2 ambulances and 1 CHP SUV were all headed uphill with all their lights ablaze.

This was at a road work stop past Quimby, going toward Alum Rock. These big fire engines are so long and wide they straddle the double-yellow in the tight sections; pretty annoying to see as I followed them down the hill for a while. I'd hate to come around a corner face-to-face with one of them, which I have in the past in this very same section of the road.

I dunno looks rideable, you just gotta come in with a little speed, wheelie into the colvert where that slab of asphalt is and give the throttle a good blip to launch up and over. Make sure you record video

Going to Sturgis in '84. The plan: week to get there, have a beer and shot of tequila and then turn around and take a week to get back, all on back roads, no freeways..

My kinda ride.

Something's brewing...

There's a video going around FB shot in Pebble Beach on 17 Mile Drive, near the Ocean Course of MPCC where the waves are hitting the roadway. One guy, videoing from his truck, was behind a few other cars that were turning around.

"Don't worry, we're in a truck!" he says to his passenger.

The video ended with the truck ending up on its side after getting hit by a massive wave....

Gary... I had a feeling you would entertain us with some disaster pics.

Butch and I also had one of the big fire trucks come the other way on Hammie. A OH SHIT!!!! moment for sure.

 

[N4teTheGreat]

Loving the disaster / weather pics. In my case, no riding means it was time for a new chain and sprockets on the DRZ in my garage.

Someone should get some pictures of the gap on Mines Rd from Livermore side before I do.

I expected light rain today, but ran into an extended downpour. If I had known I'd have tried out the rain boot covers I bought. My Daytona boots are Goretex lined, but they leaked after a few years. A new pair of water-proof boots would be a better option.

Uvas reservoir

Elkhorn Slough. After this it rained hard on Hwy 1 at Moss Landing, and harder still toward Capitola. I enjoyed it until it got dark, then it was somewhat stressful on Soquel San Jose Rd, Summit, old Santa Cruz Hwy. The visibility was too poor to see all road hazards so it was a bit of a leap of faith type of riding.

Window Rock a most unlikely location for this bike

[ThumperX]

Are you down there now?

 

[budman]

If he is he just unloaded cause the bike is spotless.
Even the tires look fresh. Must be a Honda ad

I would like this more if it was in sand up to the rear axle.




Have fun, friend.

Enjoyed a couple hours of beautiful sunshine, blue skies and a beautiful sunset.
