CA-One, from Carmel to San Francisco: close encounters with the farm, the joy of scenery, the sweetness of camaraderie, motorcycles, pretty good food, the Pacific Ocean. One of the planet’s great rides. For sure. Next stop – Napa Valley.
September 7, 2013 … a great ride on a Great Day.
California Anomaly
Major traffic that doesn’t slow you down. A road so treacherous no one exceeds 25mph. Beautiful beaches with no one on them. There’s no way to get down to them. Totally inconsistent weather in a state where weather is utterly consistent. Serious gravity in a land where gravitas is seriously casual. A place with beauty all around, Big Sur is also home to the grotesque gluttonous elephant seal who lounges around, losing 2000 lbs, then swims to Alaska, gorges back up to 4k, and returns here to start all over again. El Sur Grande.
It was a harrowing but fascinating ride over unforgiving, steep switchbacks. Next stop, Carmel. Then on to Napa Valley tomorrow.
