Been super busy lately and need to make a few posts about things from the last couple months. I’ll start here I guess! Actually in Long Beach for training. Been wanting to ride down to training for a while now, and road conditions looked free of snow so I went for it!
Old picture, because I haven’t taken any this trip yet. The AT did great! But despite wearing really good gear, heated grips, and a heated vest, I was cold after riding hours on end through heavy rain with temps in the upper 30's. Still much warmer than parts of my 2018 trip though. And I managed to stay completely dry!
Have I missed anything in the last month?

Rainy here in Santa Barbara today.... Thanks, thanks for bringing the PNW down here.
On the plus side, you seem to have driven all the traffic away, Mr. Corona.

If you’re around through the weekend, come through malibu and say hello! If its not raining too much I planned to go enjoy the local mountains a bunch. At least the skies will be pretty clear after the rain passes.

Heading out Thursday after class, maybe up through death valley. We'll see.

Ahh so you will just get all the rain then haha. Death valley is a sweet drive, well worth it. Im sure on a bike it would be even better and rawer . This time of year is perfect for it too. Theres free camping there too but I imagine you might not have brought camping gear on a bike.

Grants pass to crescent city, then a couple bits from there. You should zoom in real close on the Leggett to fort Bragg part. It was nuts.

Don’t have to, L eggett to brag was one of the best roads from my road trip. It’s perfect. I hit it again this past summer in a M iata on my way to L aguna S eca

Oh excellent then you planned properly for sure!
Definitely one of my favorite free campgrounds. Wish I could have spent more time there in DV.
Emigrant campground is the name, definitely the best spot if you arent looking to have a camp store and really want remote but easy road access to the park.

Nice! I just wish I had hit it with warmer temps and earlier in the day. It was dark by the time I got to Bragg.

No time for anything more than gas stops.

ooo scary. I did it southbound in the miata first thing in the morning and
it was amazing. It was a little less so on the bike, but...
1. I was on a giant cruiser
2. I’d already ridden 300 miles that day
3. I was tired from 20 (also fantastic)

It was light and 50 when I first hit it so it was fun. But had ridden from Eugene, so yeah, tired. Took it easy.

Feel free to shoot me a text at 7329489469. I work at point mugu so that is definitely easy for me! Assuming it's not monsooning at least I'd be down to meet up.
