Moedad and other So Cal riders

I kind of am anxious to go somewhere, but now I understand there are possibly fires? Have you looked into the fire situation?

I figured if we go early, it would be ten to fifteen cooler anyway. I'm still leaning in favor of going and heat be damned. Let me know if you decide to be less impulsive. I've got four months of anticipation built up.

I'm aware of a fire above Azusa, but that shouldn't affect our ride except maybe making things hazy. Have you heard of others?

*EDIT* Whoops, just checked.

Hwy 2 is closed above La Canada Flintridge to Clear Creek Junction. Voluntary evacuations in place, unhealthful air. We'd have to go in from the Wrightwood side and only ride a chunk of it, then back out the same way unless they reopen the road.

It sounds like the forces of the universe are sending us a message. Let's regroup and try again another time. Maybe I'll sleep in and take a ride down to the beach. Post a response so I know you got this.

Got it. I need to change my oil anyway.

Here's a view ofrom the webcam on Mt. Wilson of the smoke from the Station Fire, which is the one that has the ACH closed.

Felt a little cooler on the way in today. I think Anaheim is down out of the hundreds and is now a chilly 97 or so. I was going to take the GZ in today, but the battery was run down again from another taillight left on (wasn't me this time!) I tried to push start it down the driveway, five or six times, but, given that I hadn't started it in a while and it being the wrong time of year to be backing 300 pounds up the driveway with a heavy leather jackey, boots, gloves and a helmet, I put it away and took the Strat. I'll hook it up to the charger tonight.

Hey Moe,

I had the itch real bad, so I ended up going to Monterrey like I been yapping about. Got back about an hour ago. Still want to check out ACH, but I got the big ride ride jones out of my system for now.
