Mt. Diablo Ride November 28, 2015

I took a ride up to the summit of Mt. Diablo which is at an elevation of 3,849 feet. The road climbs fast and has a lot of tight turns making it a fun ride.  It is almost December but still nice riding weather so I was surprised to see only one or two other motorcycles out.

Pacific Coast Highway Ride from Stinson Beach to Bodega Bay November 19, 2015

I decided to take a ride out to Bodega Bay. Instead of riding directly to Bodega Bay I went through Muir Woods to Stinson Beach. From there I stayed on Highway 1 to Point Reyes and next I rode along Tomales Bay until I arrived at Bodega Bay. I also wanted to see Bodega the town where the Hitchcock movie "The Birds" was filmed. There are two remaining structures left - the church and schoolhouse - so I took a couple of pictures with my bike in front of the buildings. Overall was a great day and nice and warm for this time of the year.  A great day ride on PCH so close to home. You can't beat Northern California for riding.

Alice's Restaurant Ride November 14, 2015

I decided to ride up to the famous Alice's Restaurant where "you can have anything you want at Alice's Restaurant." Was a nice Fall day out and instead of paying a toll and going over one of the San Francisco bay bridges I rode down the 680 around the bay. At the end of the bay the 680 connects with the 280 which heads back to SF on the opposite side of the bay. I got off the 280 at Sand Hill and headed up the mountain to the restaurant. The restaurant is off Skyline Boulevard in the mountains and what a place - motorcycles everywhere. Heading home I took the 280 to the San Mateo Bridge to get back to the East Bay. Overall very nice ride and day.

San Francisco Ride to Pick Up Sargent Seat November 7, 2015

I had a Sargent seat on my BMW 1150GS and loved it. I have been looking for a used one for my BMW 1200GSA. I found one on Craigslist for a good price in San Francisco so I took a ride over to San Francisco Saturday morning to pick it up. I took the Bay Bridge over to San Francisco since I was trying to get there and back quickly before the traffic started to back things up. It was a nice day so while in the city I decided to play tourist and ride over to Ocean Beach, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and over the San Rafael Bridge to get back home.
