Wassup people?!?
Headed to Livermore and Mines Road on a lark and a whim. As usual, my sixth
sense brought me right to a superlative piece of roadwork--130, Del Puerto
Canyon Rd, east of Frank Raines through the hills to I-5. Canyon carving,
light traffic, excellent pavement, perfect weather--another unforgettable
road. 'Taint no secret with the locals neither, saw plenty of bikes, even
some hell-bent sportbikers like me. Looking at the off-roaders enjoying
huge and hilly Frank Raines made me consider buying a dirt bike. Can't find
it on my map, but when you get near I-5, there's a road that heads back
(east/southeast) to a golf course, it's more of the same and smooth as
glass, with a RIDICULOUS 40mph posted limit--haha. Then I blasted I-5 to 152
so I could do that Basalt Flats road that winds along the south side of San
Luis Resevoir--a great road completely overlooked by most two-wheeled
maniacs. The end of the trip found me at Casa de Fruta stocking up on as
many pistachios and olives that I could stuff in my waistpack.
