Amazing! With the four hour time difference you were coasting as we were hitting the sack.

I managed to ride 299 today west of Redding, CA So many curves, I was getting tired and had to pull over and rest. My first choice was CA36 but I was running out of time, then there is CA20. I will save those for my next trip to CAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-80593771561618803502013-08-15T21:03:21.249-07:002013-08-15T21:03:21.249-07:00Brenda:

I love taking bike in the middle of the road shots. 50 is a great road for that. so is 375, 318, 376...<br /><br />50 is a lot of road to try and do in 1 day<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to to venture off the Interstate Highway system. There's so much more to see when you're riding roads other than the Interstates. I hope you're not going to ride I-5 of the center of California. I you get the chance, ride 36 west from Red Bluff, or 299 west from Redding.<br />Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-21727317751331869952013-08-15T15:54:32.733-07:002013-08-15T15:54:32.733-07:00I'm enjoying your trip enormously Bob!
