Default Mountain Cruiser Rides...

“The mountains are calling and I must go” - John Muir.

They opened up Glacier Point road in Yosemite. Took a ride up there today. I never get tired of those views.

Those pictures are beautiful! We were there in August 2015 and those waterfalls were no where near as great as the look now!

Thanks for the report!

We got a lot of snow this winter and it is melting off. Although we have winter snow warning for tonight and tomorrow. It will be snowing up up there tonight and tomorrow.

Glacier Point road in Yosemite will be closed through Sunday but as soon as it's clear I'm riding it. Snow for one week up there in those hills.

man I wish the mountains were close enough for me to ride all the time. All we have around here are hills. Nice pixs. I'd love to ride HWY 1 all the way up the coast.

Rode over to Murphys. Normally it would be bikes lined up and down the street on Frog Jump weekend but this year we have storm coming so not to many showed up.




We had a beer, got something to eat and hung out for awhile. When it looked like the rain was getting close we boogied on out of there and back to Groveland.
