Rogdeb(s) and I rode down to Lancaster for the Streetmaster's workshop on June 10th. We left Elk Grove and rode down Hwy 99 to Hwy 4 East, then below Lake Tulloch to 108 East to Sonora. The same route I took last weekend for the Ebbetts ride, so no duplicate pictures. While passing through Sonora we stopped at Skyway's house and saw him and TurboDave as they were preparing to head to the Cal-24. Stupidly, I left the camera in the tankbag. Doh!
We rode up Hwy 108 over Sonora Pass, so I snapped a couple pictures of Roger and Debbie on Hwy 108.
We turned South on Hwy 395 and stopped in Lee Vining for gas and food at the "Whoa Nellie Deli" on Hwy 120.
After the Streetmasters Workshop we weren't sure which way to head home. TurboDave suggested a nice "backroad" way from Hwy 158. Saturday night, in The Pub at the Essex House Hotel, Walt Fulton and Nancy Foote suggested the same roads....,guess which route we took toward home? From Hwy 395, we took Hwy 158 West toward Bakersfield but turned North to Caliente and took the 30 mile (?) loop on Caliente Creek Rd. to Bodfish.
This road meanders along the creek and it is "open range". Of course, my camera malfunctioned and I didn't check it as I was riding along, so you don't get to see the cows and goats, etc.
From Bodfish we headed North toward Lake Isabella. We ran through a "cloud" of butterflies for 1 or 2 miles (the pictures don't show the little buggers!), climbed a bit and then "popped out" of the forest to see thisview of Lake Isabella:
We headed around the West shore of Lake Isabella on Hwy 155:
At Wofford Heights Hwy 155 turns West toward Delano. It climbs away from the lake and becomes a bit "technical. I got to watch Rogdeb applying his newly learned skill-set. Yo, the dude is smooooooth through the corners! Now, if he'd just get the "turn your head and look through the corner thing" working consistently....
Nice "wide entry/late apex" Roger, and just look at that "nose" pointed at the corner exit, Streetmasters would be proud of your new technique!
