Decided it would be a fun ride to break in the new Michelins and it was a super nice day.

I rode to Castle lake which is out psat Lake Siskiyou for anyone familar with the area. Its a nice road with mild twisties that are great for learning the new bike and breaking in the tires but are moderate enough that more experienced riders would still hvae fun.




at the lake still partially frozen over





At the top of the road with mtn and snow



I followed my brother up in his mustang as a pace setter and animal blocker  naughty

I can't get over the snow and ice.  The only frozen precipitation down here is in a glass of one's favorite beverage.  knary  And even that isn't lasting very long.

Some riding time in California is definitely on my bucket list.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Just over $300. Great picture quality. Comes with surface mount for helmet. Might want extra micro SD card and battery though.
