Angels Camp and Sonora Ride August 30, 2015

I took a ride up Route 4 to Angels Camp. After arriving at Angels Camp I took Route 49 to Sonora. From Sonora I took Route 108 (Sonora Pass) to O'Byrnes Ferry Road which took me past Lake Tulloch and back to Route 4 which I followed home. I should have stopped and taken more pictures but it was so nice out I just kept on riding. Sonora is nice and has a small western feel to it with old buildings and narrow streets.

Family Day at the Jelly Belly Factory Ride August 9, 2015

My family wanted to visit the Jelly Belly Factory out in Fairfield Sunday.  I decided to jump on my bike and meet them there. We had a nice time and took a tour of the Factory and after went out to lunch.We got to sample the Jelly Beans and took a few bags home. It was a nice ride out there and it was nice to ride and also spend time with the family on Sunday. My son took a couple pictures along the way.

Mount Hamilton Ride August 8, 2015

Took a ride up Mount Hamilton today to the Lick Observatory. Scooted down the 680 to San Jose and from there about twenty miles up Mount Hamilton to the Lick Observatory which sits at 4,216 feet. The road is very narrow and rises over 4,000 feet in three long climbs from San Jose to the top. They say there are 365 curves up the mountain, one for each day of the year. Makes for a wild ride. The day was not so clear but a very fun ride.

Reliez Valley Road/Bear Creek Road Ride August 5, 2015

Short ride in my backyard with nice rolling hills. Ride goes by both the San Pablo and Briones reservoirs and includes shady canyons and sunny open roads. A little bit of everything with very nice scenery and nice twisties and only a minute from home. Only about an hour ride but nice for stress relief after work. No picture of the bike since there was no need to stop.
