Default Anyone going on a trip this memorial weekend

The brothers and I are going to Oakland Ca. from Los Angeles. We will be leaving on Sat and coming back on sunday on Highway One. Highway one is one of the greatest rides in the country. Should be a good 800 plus mile 2 day trip.

Anyone else going to ride this weekend?

My wife thought I came up with a good idea when I suggested we trailer our bike up to Okrahoma (inside joke) to transport a truck, build a sister-in-law an outdoor deck, family reunions (ruins?), etc. as we are planning on off loading the trailer at my Dad's in South in of the state and cruise around. Who knows, Robbers Cave, T-Town, around and around till we get tired... just as soon as I 'help' build the deck.

Hey tx moores,

I have a better idea. Wait a couple of weeks and ride to VA and help me build my deck.

You will have a hell of a ride and free beer when you get here.

It wasn't a big ride, but I put about 150 mi. today on a ride up into the mountains. The mountains were nice and green and there's nothing like the smell of the mountains in the early morning. (at least to me) Didn't see to many bikers on the freeway, but the ride was still great. On the mountains back in the distance, there was still a lot of snow. It made a nice pic.
