Hey All!
I just road GMM/R! (The things I won’t do for this club 🙂 )
The road is amazing. If you’ve never ridden these two stretches of Southern California, you are in for a treat. It is a workout to be sure. Never a dull moment and no time to loose concentration. There are numerous tight, 10 mph hairpin turns on the lower section. Many 3rd gear to 2nd gear shifts and a small number of 4th gear sections.
We’ll be making a few stops to regroup and see the scenery. Some cautions:
- Rocks! There are a few. I’ll be calling them out on mesh.
- On coming traffic! On a Thursday, midday, not an issue but on Saturday we’ll likely have some. Again, I’ll be calling it out.
- Bicycles. This is a popular route and will be busy on a weekend. Give them plenty of space.
- Passing. If you are slower than the rider behind you, wave them around. If you are passing, do it politely, patiently, and safely. No pride. Be careful and ride at a comfortable pace for yourself.
So excited! See you Sat.
