What a great day for a ride! I didn't leave until 4:30, but by then, a lot of the traffic had gone home. The sun was out for most of the ride and it was 77 degrees Fahrenheit- my kind of riding conditions!
Right before the ride, I tightened up the chain and filled the tires up a little, and I noticed the difference immediately. When hitting Palomares Road, near the last stretch of the road, a ranching truck pulled out in front of me, but turned into another driveway half a mile down the road. That was the only vehicle I had to wait on for all of Palomares!
On the Redwood/Pinehurst/Canyon section, I caught warning by other passing riders, that there was LEO up ahead. He was writing up a fellow rider. Thanks for the heads-up, guys! I only had one car slow me down on the last part of Pinehurst, but he pulled over almost immediately.
All in all, it was an awesome 73-mile ride with very little interference from other motorists. The bike is running like a champ and my riding is getting smoother. The bike missed one shift, but I had no brain-farts. Today's ride was the best in a long time!
