Todays ride included a unfamiliar road , something that resembles a road started out a nice two lane up the hill then a line on each side and no defined lanes up and over the summit. Some super tight turns,off camber, poor road repairs,wash boards that almost made my helmet spin around and bicyclists. Your basic unmaintenced county road. Approaching the summit I slowed to check out the view,awsome view into the Central Valley overlooking grassy hills & wind farms.Glad I slowed at the summit hard right then steep rough road. My Tracker would eat this road up but I'm on the sporty and it's the other way around,I'm gettin a work out. Here's the weird part I get down the other side thru cattle country and come up to flashing lights near a power substation 12 PG&E trucks,3 County Sheriffs,a long flatbed truck and a small dozer/backhoe from the ranch I guess , flatbed loaded with 9 or 10 DEAD cows and trying to get another one on with the dozer. A bizarre sight that's for sure. Anyway that road was so nasty I just had to turn around and do it again. I was exhausted by the time I got home , just over 70 mile loop , what fun !!!
