Great things are afoot
So,
Being a guvtment employee, I had Presidents Day off and what better way to test the new MV Risers then with a quick loop of the North State,
Left Redding at a leisurely 9:30 AM, to give Bambi a chance to hold up for the day. Headed West on 299 past Whiskytown Lake and ran into the "straightening project on Buckhorn summit. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of Buckhorn in it's original form, you have missed out on one of the funnest sections of 299 out of Redding. They are moving mountains as they straighten out this section into a more "user friendly" version of it's former self. There is only about a third of the original road left, and from the looks of things, that won't last much longer.
Almost to Weaverville and man, it was cold and cloudy (for like 3 minutes)
Don't know how you guys back East make it through the winter!
Anyway, here is a shot of Trinity lake south shore. It's down just a bit......
Here is a shot at the north shore boat ramp
and this one was taken by moving the camera just a bit to the left.
Looking up from the end of the boat ramp
It's gonna be a long dry summer!
After a mid ride relax by the side of the road
I proceeded up the very dry, clean and all to myself hwy 3, which I totally recommend if you have the time.
The west side of the Gazelle-Callahan highway was sublime, but the east side, headed toward I5 had gravel in all the apexes.
Which kind of sucked.
Obligatory food porn and Barn shot
222 miles on the new risers and I love 'em
Thank for coming along.
