What a great time and enjoyable RR to revisit! Eight years ago! Dang, the time flies by as age takes its toll. But I should complain, with news of Karl being ill and Mark having crashed - wishing them both full and speedy recoveries. I really miss Mark on this forum, because I never seem to get past the registration on the other one. Thanks for resurrecting this thread, Brodie.
Thinking it was Highlander who, at the "140 miles" sign on 36, pointed out that I had scrubbed the last of the tread off my rear PR2 between Fortuna and the sign. Had to follow Bug meekly and mildly east and south on 36, 89 and 49 back to the barn on exposed cord, where I did not get a new tire mounted in time for the last couple days of Golden State touring (recalling that the Sierra passes we were hoping to show those boys were not yet open due to record snowpack).
