    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.
