Just a quick ride on Hwy 49 from Mariposa to Coulterville and back home... Great morning for a ride.

Chrly,
We need to hook up one of these days and hit the road... Appears we are pretty close to each other... I took advantage of the cooler temps this morning... When I left about 8:30 this morning, it was 64 degrees... When I got home around 12:30 it was 81... I couldn't have ask for better riding conditions...

Rudy I was Fortunate to be able to ride Angeles Crest in the 60s and 70s . The trip to Riverside, if I don't get called back to work, will just be to visit family. Too much traffic for me to enjoy riding . this trip is pretty much just to play catchup with friends and family!..
I alwayz enjoy getting to the coast .. special place...

Actually I am east of Modesto, and that is one of my go to routes when I need to just get on and ride a bit. I do a bit of Gold Country riding. There are so many good roads in the area, a lot of twist and turn along with lots of elevation change. As you know this time of year the weather is great to two wheelin'...
And Yes, there was a dusting of snow on some of the higher elevations, but they even got a taste of that back in late July or early August. I rode east on Hwy 4 and back on Hwy 88. There were some thunder storms over the top and a couple of places got a bit of snow and hail. The temp went from 92 in the Valley to high 40's on top. I was glad to get back to lower elevations and absorb the heat.
