Met Alan C for a ride

[Moedad]

Alan and I met up for a ride on Angeles Crest Highway today, 60 miles of sweepers, tight curves, mountain vistas, and sunshine, with a high point of close to 8,000 feet above sea level. A couple of years ago we had that huge fire--the Station Fire--that burned half the San Gabriel Mountain range. The ACH runs the length of it, right along the spine most of the way. The highway closed during the fire and has been closed in part or in whole ever since. The entire length just reopened a couple weeks ago.


Here's Alan

Thanks for great route planning, ride leading, gas finding and lunch picking, Dan! Sorry I was "under the weather", but at least the actual weather was great!

That Vstrom is an imposter. It is too clean. Great pics.
