WHAT:
A ride for fellow Ninjetters to explore mountain roads at a easy/moderate pace.
WHY:
News is coming out that the passes are opening and I'm itching to ride them. Want to come ride with me?
WHO: Unregistered and friends.
Just putting out this feeler to see if you would be interested and when you are available. Though I would prefer you have some experience riding mountain roads, if a new/inexperienced rider really wants to come along, shoot me a PM or post here and let's talk so I know where you are coming from and you know what I'm planning on getting us into. I want everyone to have fun, and let riders explore safely, so if we both feel comfortable having you take on something new, I'll do what I can to make it enjoyable for all of us.
WHEN:
Updated Possibly plan for Saturday, August 8th
WHERE:
The route will probably focus between I-80 (Truckee) and SR 120 (Yosemite) but may shift a bit due to where everyone is coming from. More than likely will be around the region of Mosquito Ridge Road, Ebbetts Pass, and Sonora Pass.
HOW:
I'm looking at a moderately lengthy day of 300 miles plus or minus 50 miles (so two gas tanks) of mostly twisty roads through one of the most scenic regions I've ridden through. The roads are good, with some rough patches from weather, though they are narrow two lane or single lane width on the edge of a steep mountain. Luckily, there is little to no traffic. Plan on a lunch stop at the midway point and several picture stops to enjoy the area and stretch.
