Last night in
Fernley, NV I was watching the weather
report with trepidation. The forecast was for morning rain all the way through Sacramento Not what I wanted to hear, having just spent a long, cold, wet day But, when I woke up in the morning, the sky was clear although it was definitely on the cold side |
|
Heavy leather gloves, some challenging roads, and traffic most of the way Sorry, no photos today |
|
Normally, I like to stop every 50 miles or so and just walk around a bit Sometimes, the paucity of places dictates longer stretches That was the case yesterday, but it needn't be that way today |
|
I mounted up and I've got to say I was like an old horse heading toward the barn I wanted to be home already |
|
I rode through
Sparks and through
Reno without even slowing |
|
Into California and over the mountains. It was rather cold. Snow on the ground down to about 5,000 feet. I rode over Donner Pass and Emigrant Gap at up to 7.000 It was really cold. Not freezing, but cold nonetheless. |
| Let me tell you, 42 degrees at 65 MPH is chilly! |
|
Having gotten over the worst, I stopped in
Colfax for a cup of coffee and to try to warm up a bit |
|
Back on the bike and heading homeward Through Sacramento, second stop was in Dixon for gas and to buy some fruit at Pedrick Produce |
|
Another 100 miles or so and I was home I just had ridden three stretches of almost 100 miles each |
| I was tired and very happy to be Home |
