[QUOTE="puppychow, post: 1323505, member: 19520"] Thanks guys! Lassen is always a cool escape in more than one way from the Sacramento heat. I took my parents there couple years ago, and the high altitude landscape reminded them of the foothills of the Himalayas. Yes 8000-9000 feet is still foothills for the Himalayas. Mr Beam is also correct about Bumpass hell and the plethora of trails which take you past steaming mud boils with those lovely rotten egg odors. :) It's a beautiful road, and on week days the park is wide open, rarely a soul is around, and the Rangers are not nazis about speed enforcement on those days, as long as you are not being a complete idiot on the straights. As for the gearing change, thinking of two up on rear sprocket. Hope it will keep the bike in the better powerband a bit more in the curvy stuff. It's a struggle between power and mileage. [/QUOTE]
