Mojave National Preserve

Hello, there.
Today's ride is kind of part II of last weekend Amboy Crater ride.
As Mr. Moedad suggested, I tried to take lower part of the roads.
Interstate 10 and Amboy Road to Mojave National Preserve.
Yes, the roads were pretty seneric and excellent for the bike riding.
Ha ha ha, it's almost same distance and time as last weekend riding's.
I finally got the one of the biker's pit-stop on the Route 66 today, Roy's Cafe.
At there, met couple of bikers and shared some photo-shooting.. ha ha ha.
The weather was really nice today, no wind, no hot temperature, but sunshine all day long.
It's been long time to get this kind of weather condition here the Greater Los Angeles area.
Total Distance: 483 miles
Elapsed Time: 10 hours

Mojave National Preserve.
There are not much for the seneries, but cruising the road itself is the one make me happy.
Mother Nature is so humble to take my bike's noise.
Whenever I ride on the mother nature's surface, it always remind me that I'm so little compare to her.
I thank to her for let me having these happiness riding.....

Anyway, here is the photos share with you.

Hi, Mr. Alan.
That's bad to hear.
But I think that we Califonians might have long long good weather conditions from now on....

I'm getting be accustomed with long hour ridings by those ridings that I had last couple of months.
So, I may try it more long distance at weekend(Fri to Sunday)
when it comes chances with good weather conditions.
May be late spring or early summner months.
Hopely with some camping at night, to the north side of California which I never have been.
I ordered a bigger and taller windshield for my new bike... ha ha ha... I hate winds....
Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Thanks, Mr. Softie for the comments.
I do try to take some road informations for the GPS info.,
and for the anyone who may needed for the road reference.
And also for the my own preferences... ha ha ha
Recently, I saw a good travellers' digital camera (light weight and small factor) information on the internet.
But little expensive for me.....
Sony's new line of products and not released yet.
Good optical zoom (over 20X optical zoom),
and very short distance Close-Up capabilities (less than 1/2 inch, yes 1 cm)
The one MOST LIKED FUNCTION >>>> Automatic Panorama Stitching while taking photos
>>> this is amazing new tech >>> And I like a lot lot lot....
>>> Just release shutter and move around the camera one of the directions
(left to right, right to left, up to down, or down to up directions)
>>> Camera automatically creates about 270 degrees of panorama photo.... I need one....

Anyway.... thanks again.

Hello, Mr. Alan.
Weather forecast says that this weekend has little bit windy, and cold at Sunday.
I may try to find and go some short distances, hope that I could find one.
Would you make one for the all the CAL or LA Area members to have a big gethering to ride!!!!
For the some future date, so that members can have time to decide and join riding.
:roll: :cool:
