Angels Crest - 9/10/05
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)
