From the BARF forum...

Here is a long video from Father’s Day Sunday 6/17/18 I am posting so maybe some non-San Antonio Valley Road riders can see what it's like going up from the Mines Road side.

Most of you will be quite bored. :smt097

For about 11 minutes from about 2:27 to 13:30 is uncut from the stoplight up to the Lick Observatory.

I was hoping it would be on the 500. It was still fun to watch on the KR rat.

Nice collection of cars at the gathering!! :smt023 One of my old neighbors had an original Pantera with the 351 in it. Not nearly as nice as the black one there, but cool none the less.

Ken, that first pic of your RZ along side the road almost looks like you're in the desert with sand dunes as the backdrop. :smt003

I hope we can hang on to the green up here a little longer.....

Coming around one of the blind big rock turns going up Mines yesterday morning was a concrete truck. It pays to stay on your side of the road :smt002 I had seen at least five going the other way as I was going up.

The Junction Saturday morning

Image


Going up to the observatory. They were pumping concrete like mad at the bridge project.

Image

Image


Lick Observatory Saturday alot less smoky than last weekend :smt023

Image


The Junction on the way down. 30 - 40 Ford Fiestas?

There was a rider down on Mines as I was going back to Livermore. They were going toward The Junction. There was plenty of help so I did not stop. Hope he is OK :smt023

Yeah Ken, its been way too hot up here this summer. A solid month of 90 plus degree days. The last ride was the 2 Stroke ride a month ago, and that was some uncomfortable heat!! (pics from it in the Events thread)
I did take a short spin on the RZ today to gas it up and hit some country roads. It was about 30 degrees cooler than the last time I rode it!! :smt023
