There's such a thing?!

I didn't get to ride as much as I wanted this weekend, but got a few runs in! The weather was pretty damn good.

Well, since I didn't get many hits from MB, I'll repost my Xbox Day Ride, with explicit links to the two ~6-minute videos!

That first link has the narrative for all of yesterday's adventure, but no video.

Drove up the 101 to G16, crossed over to Carmel and went down HWY 1. Stopped at Napenth for lunch, AND GOT THE FREAKING INDOOR CORNER TABLE!!!! Never have got that table since I've been going there (like years), and always wanted to sit there. Here's why:

If you could truck the scooters to say San Simeon, and then just ride up to Big Sur, and then back.......Man that would be fun, fun, fun. There really isn't anywhere between those two points where going slow would make a difference. Everyone is almost always under 45 mph.

Nice view!... There is a restaurant in Harpers Ferry like that. On a cliffside. The rear seats over the balcony are amazing.

I got out Thursday night for about an hour on the scoot. Nice warm night for December around here (57 degrees).

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to a nice new year.
Speed is only a matter of money...How fast do you want to go?

I've ridden that once then recently drove it in the car. The whole time I was thinking, "Sure wish I was ridding this again right now!"

It's a pretty great ride from LA to San Luis Obispo, but once you start north up the central coast from there, "great" becomes "amazing." Maybe I'll do that run again this year. Just need the time time time…:(
