Default Finally moved to Santa Clara...

Finally got the bike up here! In fact, rode it from Van Nuys yesterday morning to work in Sunnyvale. Up at 5am - 4+ hours of flat, fast, boring riding with a heavy back pack. That's the worst ride ever. Now gotta get up in those twisties!

glad to hear you made it safe. If you want some nice roads look up hwy 9. Try to go during the week. If its on a weekend then plan your ride to end before 10am. Becarefull there are some bad riders that go there. I've heard a few storyies of riders blowing apex's around blind corners going into the oncoming lane hiting another rider. Thats why I say go durring the week or early on the weekend.

I did not see anything related to work. But a 4 hr cruise is a good shake down.

Ok I just maped it out. Don't know if you would want to do that route. From stinson beach to the end of 36 one way is 650ish miles.
