Dora, Jim, and I posing before we take off for Stinson Beach -



There are several great loops to there - I took Panoramic Highway to Stinson beach and 1 for the way back - except for the occasional car slowing things down - it was a great day for riding - the roads where in very good condition and this is the set of roads I cut my teeth and tires edges on - scenic and challenging at the same time!



Parked at the Beach parking lot - ready to leap into action though.
We had a great set of food and conversation at a beach-side cafe, a look at the Ocean for a bit, and then back for a twisty ride home. Lost Dora for a bit after the bridge, but she managed to find our place again in the end. We had some coffee and tea - some pineapple spears and a tad of conversation to wrap things up. It was a great day enjoying the company of a new friend as well as touching base with an old one - and getting in some good riding as well! I'll take this over sitting and watching folks ride anyday - lol

Stinson beach directly - is about 38 miles north of of where I live - using the routes we used - we added about 10 miles each way in twisties, Jim did great - the tires wear area has increased on both bikes - as only that run can do. Dora and him traded places behind me a few times - so I got used to telling who is who by the brightness of the light - my bike being brighter than the stock lightning lights. The day was glorious, great curves, beach, friends, family, just fun all around!

At one point we were stuck behind that red car, so I feel back and let it, and the two of you disappear around a turn. Having a little open road to play with, I snapped the throttle open and took off. It was about half way around the turn, looking at oncoming traffic, that I realized they meant it when they marked it as 10mph. : )

Those hair pins are fun though and the ocean view with them very nice!
