Jonesin for a Ride!

So, it appears my map add-in isn’t working right, but you can follow at SPOT website

Shai and I left Paso Robles at 9:45 after we had breakfast at the inn. It was a clear crisp day as we left and headed west on CA-46 towards the coast. I think this is my new favorite route rather than the usual way I’ve done in the past, that is heading towards Morro Bay. This route was less traveled and had a view of the ocean as we descended towards Cambria.

We headed north on route 1 and with blue sky’s, headed up the coast to Big Sur. this is a great road, but only if you take the time to enjoy it, with plenty of stops. There are plenty of overlooks and views to enjoy. We had plenty of time as our goal was to just make it to Larry’s house, which was only about 250 miles or so-perfect!

Once past Big Sur, we were in Carmel and had to deal with the wind which is always coming off the ocean cold and hard. The wind did subside somewhat, but still had to deal with a cold wind once we pasted Santa Cruz all the way to Half Moon Bay. But make no mistake, it was a great putt as I was in no hurry.
Hard to imagine John, we did that ride in January, you on your shovel head, me on my softail, both of us with no windshields and you with that crazy suicide clutch and a bike we had to push start… And trow Puff Daddy in the mix! Lol, that was when we were younger…

Once we were in Half Moon Bay, we gave Larry a call and we were invited for dinner with ribs, potatoes, salad, lemon tart and pistachio ice cream and a place to crash. Oh, beer too.
