Title: Angels Crest - 9/10/05
Post by Paladin on 09/09/05 at 13:53:34

Looks like a go for me. I intend to hit the Hill Street Cafe at 1104 Foothill Blvd, La Canada, at or about 9AM tomorrow. After a hearty breakfast, around 10ish, I'll be heading north and east on California Highway 2, the Angels Crest Highway. Will have lunch 75 miles later at the McDonald's in Phelan; or maybe not.

Anyone who wishes to join me in the ride can meet me in the morning.

Sorry Paladin, I can't make it. My wife and I need to pick up a Jeep cherokee we just bought. Saturday morning is the only time we can make it.

8)Paladin old buddy, I really, really wish that I could be there with my LS650 for that Ride ... man that'd be so cool.
Our annual Toys for Tots charity Ride is scheduled for tomorrow, which I always take part in, but is likely to be called on account of rain in the forecast ... bummer ... :(

Joel -- just as well you missed it as the road is closed about 26 miles in.

Arrived Hill Street Cafe, La Canada, California a few minutes after 9am. Hash and two eggs, sunny side up, not runny, O'Brian potatoes, sourdough toast, coffee, $11.15. A bit on the expensive side, but cooked to prefection, good flavor, with the coffee hot. Excelent service to boot, coffee refilled just as I emptied the cup. Check delivered as I finished the meal, no waiting. 18% tip.

It was overcasted most of the way, and cool. This is good as it makes the leather jacket comfortable. A fair amount of bikers, but not at all crowded. A few pictures at http://savage.andruschak.net/Twisties/ Will rename and make webpage later.

Right now I'm just finishing up lunch at a McDonalds on Sunset Blvd -- they have WiFi access and I brought the Laptop. Will post again once I get home....

p.s. I was the only Thumper on the whole highway.

8)mornin' Paladin ... glad you enjoyed your Ride ... the pics were nice too!
Wife's Dad lives in Fontana Ca. ... that far from you? She also has a friend who lives in La Canada ... fellow by the name of Steve Priest, ex. of British 70's Rockers the Sweet ...

Fontana is in the Inland Empire, about 60 miles east of me. La Canada is 30 miles north. If you pull up http://maps.google.com and switch to a hybred view you can see that, except for the mountains, it is city all the way.

We need to get together and ride somewhere before i move up above fresno (10/31). I just got back from riding to fresno and back this weekend. My wife and I rode up on the savage, and she is driving the jeep back down tommorow. I think i need a windshield, if I am going to ride for 5 hours again.

That Joel is still alive testifies as to how forgiving of a wife he has.

Joel, drop a dime on me if you want a ride buddy. I'm quite flexible. (Acutally my schedule is flexible, I'm starting to creak alot as I move.)
