The high temp here that day was about 70'... so down there, it's a bit higher elevation,... probably low 60's...
And, the road is actually much more twisty, and up and down than it looks on the video... the panorama is more impressive too... It's a shame those things don't seem to translate to video...
I've probably ridden that ride 50+ times,... one of my favorites...
I crashed my Ninja on that road, doing about 85,... came off a hill and caught some air,... there was a sharp left on the other side... I missed it...
...that's when I got smart, bought my Savage and slowed down...
On this ride, some cows broke the fence and blocked the road... glad I didn't have the Ninja for that...
Piglet noticed my chaps... That's the first time I've ever worn chaps. Makes my legs feel like they weigh a ton. Weird... But, I got'em at a yard sale for $20, and they did keep the wind chill off...
... and now Piglet says they look cool, so,... maybe I'll wear them less self consciously next time.
Thanks Piglet...

PS...
For those interested in doing a video... here's an example of some bad footage, from the same ride...
...and a few don't s...
I mounted the camera rigidly to George's rear fender... to get a front on shot... and it didn't work out...
1. Too much vibration.
2. My headlight causes a weird flare.
3. The sound... (Turn down your monitor!)... it's bad. This is what the wind does to you lovely engine's purr...
Useless footage...
... but just so you see... Here's a clip...
Now,.. isn't a nice Chris Whitely tune a lot better than that racket?....
