Yup! I'm blessed to live in an area with year round riding! The pics of the ocean are on East Camino Cielo, which is the road that runs along the mountain ridge in Santa Barbara. That's a 20 minute jaunt from my location.

The other pictures are off of CA HWY 33. The fog on the mountains is at the overlook facing North and East on the 33. The pics of the snow and the wash are on Lockwood Valley Rd., which is a remote mountain road between CA HWY 33 and Interstate 5 right outside of Gorman.

Take a look at a map. Its great. There are a ton of rides that are a loop. If you come out here, I'll show ya! ;)

Thanks! I really enjoy all aspects of motorcycling. Even reading about, buying, and going through the process of putting on my gear! Its a ritual. Something to get me into the Zone.... That, plus The Pace, and achieving Flow while riding.... yeah....

I got off of working a graveyard last night/this morning. Decided to take the long way home. And by long way, I mean I added about 40 miles of twisties over the mileage of the recommended trip. Whoops!!

Also had a fun conversation with some Jehovah's Witnesses who were out proselytizing; we disagreed on the topic, but united in solidarity over teaching what we think is best for people; them in their religion, me in physics and science. It was a good human interaction.
