Day 14: PCH to Santa Monica, then on to Barstow

Another great ride.  We left in the cool ocean-side air...chaps, leathers, and rode for a couple hours along the coast.  We went through Santa Monica and saw some very affluent homes.  Great beaches along the way, with people camping.  I'm not sure about all that.  It was cold and windy, yet there were tents all over the place, and people surfing.  Doesn't anybody work around here?

In Santa Monica, we turned north up Topanga Canyon Road.  Nice views of the LA area.  As soon as we descended, we said good-bye to the ocean and the nice cool temps.  Back to reality of the heat.  It was a hot ride to Barstow...high 90's.  But, as always, good times when we got to the hotel.

I didn't take any pics today, as we were riding the whole time.  But, Joy allowed me to copy a few if hers.  Here they are.

Getting ready for the day's ride.  Cool temps.

We found a rest area with some very fine facilities for the men.  Women were a bit more picky.


The Mojave River.  Really.  No kidding.  This is the bridge they built over it.  It's in Barstow.  Made me want to go fishing.

There's something about all the guys being in a hot tub together that makes me feel better about taking the picture, than being in the picture.
