22-24 August 2011 Adam has recently acquired a BMW K1200RS motorcycle and on Monday we decided to ride a loop through Lassen Volcanic National Park to help him get familiar with the bike. We took highway 32 out of Chico to the park. This was another excellent motorbike road with plenty of challenging curves and spectacular scenery. There was bit of traffic but adequate passing opportunities.
The park was beautiful, the temperatures pleasantly brisk after the hot valley, and more great roads and scenery.
Heading east on 44 we had mostly straight roads to 36 then more straight roads until we picked up 70 south. This road turned out to be another gem. It has more sweeping curves, a bit more traffic and absolutely gorgeous scenery as it follows the Feather River back down to the valley.
It was only a 300 mile day but we had an outstanding 8 hours of motorbike riding. The last two days of riding have been the best as far as "riding to the road" goes.
Tuesday and Wednesday I had off from riding and relaxed and took care of some business.
Americana for the day: non-dairy creamer in your coffee – what is that stuff anyway?
