You've got more than your fair share of great riding roads up East of Yuba. That road looks about prefect. I need to plan another moto-camping trip up that way before it gets cold.

OK final day The Run from Meeker up the White River and up & over the north side of the Flat Tops Wilderness area and back to Boulder.

Hwy 8 Looking East toward Flat Tops

Road Turns to compacted gravel surface. Really good scenery transitioning from desert to alpine. White River tucked against trees on right.
Tourance ok on this.

Higher up the pass and now climbing away from the White River.

Last Photo of Flat Tops and almost at the top of the pass. This is after the road turned to loose gravel and the Tourance's sucked.
Wheels felt like they had been injected with Novocain. About 40 miles of riding a 2 wheel sled, fatiguing and the dustiest section of road I have ever seen.
Hardly any traffic except the hunter scouts getting ready for the season but man what a plume of dust they put up on their pickups. I backpacked up on top
near here when I first moved to Colorado 30 years ago. Only people I saw were sheep herders on horseback.

Down the east side to Yampa and Toponas. This is 134 to Kremmling. Really good section of asphalt ripping. This is the last photo I took as the remaining
sections are Rocky Mountain Nation Park and Peak to Peak hwy and I figure everybody has seen that enough.

1,300+ miles and 5 days in the saddle alone. I really like riding alone but next time I will have a spot device (satellite com). Only time the ST burped was
at my daughters house at Snowbird at around 7,700 feet elevation. Cold start I might have flicked the throttle and she instantly flooded. I tried to crank her a couple times blub blub blub. Luckily we had a downhill on Tarmac and my daughter pushed and she fired right up on a bump and belched a cloud out the exhaust. Maybe time for a tune up.

And the Tourance :confused:. Anybody want to buy a set with 1, 300 miles on them.:p

About 20 minutes from my house is Magnolia road, 8,000 ft elevation. Makes for a good afterwork jaunt. Can be dusty and loose but yesterday it was premo. I think they treat it with Mag Chloride but also good after after a rain. Fall colors just starting up, continental divide in distance.IMG_6238.JPG

Same photo after I jacked with the iphone software a bit.

Excuse me for not posting in a while. I am having carpal tunnel troubles. It hit me hard the other day so I stopped riding. Today I felt well so I went for a ride. I am scheduled for an electromyograph on Friday and possible surgery later on. I took some pictures.

Castille is flat most of it so this is a common landscape

Barahona. The witches' memorial

This photo is for those who can read in Spanish. Barahona was mentioned in several Inquisition trials as a place where the witches from all around gathered. It is regrettable that the anthropologists are taken the statements obtained under torture by the Inquisition for granted.

Took mine for a 250km loop around the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide South Australia today, From Victor Harbor to Cape Jervis and lots of back roads back home
It's a fantastic ride on the blackstuff with lots of nice high speed twisties and the gravel roads are pretty good this time year as well
Didn't grab any pics of the twisties, I was having too much fun to stop :) ;)

Over the past few days I have enjoyed the mountains and gravel roads of eastern Norway. Lots of entertaining and at times challenging road surfaces, and views to die for. Our country isn't all that large, but we've got a lot of scenery packed into it :)

Hemsedal, along one of five possible routes from west to east in southern Norway.

2022-09-19 14.26.25.jpg
Along the Panorama Road, a scenic byway if ever I saw one.

2022-09-19 16.19.10.jpg
At the summit of Mt Slettefjell on the way to the mountain resort town of Beitostølen. The peaks in the background is the southern part of the Jotunheimen Range. The one farthest to the right, Mt. Bitihorn, has a NATO early-warning surveillance tower up top. Lots of US tax-payers' dollars spent up there. Along with four other similar installations, they "see" as far east as the Ural mountains in Russia, Two of them are XT-reachable.

At Lomsætra, a village-like summer pasture area.

I always make time to ride the Jotunheimen Road.
