I had the pleasure of weekending at the Honderosa in Carvertown. Some wacky dude from Reno showed up too. Hilarity ensued. So did hangovers.

Somewhere along Bitterwater Road, shortly after running a bovine blockade:

A hearty 'thank you!' to Don and his Loverly for putting up with us this weekend and showing us city boys some absolutely righteous roads! Hopefully, John and Don will add a few more pictures to complete the story.

Boring scenery. One hill has yellow flowers, the next one orange flowers, the next one violet, sometimes all mixed up..

Yawn.. :rolleyes: How much snow DO you have now? :glare:

Dos Amigos;

..and the rebel without a clue, TWN.

TWN and RenoJohn at the secret spot. On a sad aside, Andrew (Ovale) loved this spot and vowed to return. RIP dude, miss you.

Getting close to home, Naciamento lake, just west of Paso Robles, CA.

RenoJohn is worried.. now that the ride is over, he has to drink, laugh, eat, and party. Damn it.

Oh, yeah, RJ wants to be like TWN when he grows up.. :unsure:

It was a great weekend! Lots of good roads and food and even better friends. Even met a local guy, Wayne, who is a hoot and I'm sure we'll be riding together soon. Leave it for a guy from Reno to introduce two other riders who don't know each other and only live 15 miles away. Welcome to the power of the Internet and of long distance riding.

The hills are pretty when the wildflowers are in bloom. The blue lupine really brings out the contours of the coastal mountains.

Great pictures from all of you guys!
