Valentine's Day

[alanmcorcoran]

Went on my first pointless ride in some time today. It was quite nice out (82F!) and seemed like an appropriate day for some two up riding. Headed off to the Starbucks on the other side of Cook's Corner (located at the end of the 12 mile stretch of Santiago Canyon, one of the most popular cruising destinations in Southern California.) I've posted pictures of Moedad and I at Cooks a few times, on both GZ and our later bikes.



I got the lowdown on Starbuck pricing, at least for the one at the turnaround: $1.50 for a coffee. $.50 for a refill. I got a doppio for $1.95.

Again I noticed how much more confidence I had, riding 60mph plus, two up on a road I couldn't maintain 55 the first few times on the GZ. Saw tons of other bikers, mostly Harleys, a smattering of choppers and sport bikes. I think everyone else had the idea that today was a day that should not be passed up. (I had to remove the liner from my jacket it was so warm.)
