At last a little southern comfort
















I did it got into the little red pick up and drove away from Oregon due south I-5 like Driving all day and most of the night I reached a place called Barrago Springs in Cally,kind of east and north from Mt. Palomar
This place was completely unridden by myself tell now. Right off I meant a ridder from bend Oregon ,he was down in this fine road ridders paradice with 5 others from Oregon .They had been there 5 days so new a thing or two,i listened and figured out where Montezuma Pass, I had 12 miles of warm up in a good oh south west head wind then it's
up up for 12 miles in head which doubles for more effort. Right off I can tell this is the place for serious good ridding with out much traffic and pretty good pavement . From what the maps show and I've seen this place is the other bomb to ride with long loops,big climbs,fairly good pa voe and little traffic.
When I was out fighting with the head wind and totting myself up the climbs I saw a group of 20 rider type then 5 then 2's and 3's so the place is on the map. It;s got some blue sky and warm soothing sun...
Idid some monster hikes here in Yuma and a couple of pretty San rides with the retirement group. There is this guy Big mark who is 350 with solid power about 41 yearsyoung that can and dose literally spank it when he wants. We as a group were heading back toward Yuma when Clydesdale decided to kick in the last mile and half at warp speed in a head wind. later he told me we topped out at 41 mph that's Fabian C. power
So back to Barrago tomorrow for more scouting for future stay and play then off to Palm Springs for some rest and pamper getting my poor oh self to get threw the 6 months of work coming up. Take care and share the roads.
