4/7/20 ADV Riding Northern California
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:56 pm
We (DaveR, MarkK, RodN, TinyK, WillyM and yours truly) all met up at the Arco Gas Station in S. Ashland and immediately went up the old highway. This whole COVID 19 Virus dealio had given us a bad case of cabin fever, so we were anxious to do some 'moto distancing'. Once on top we sailed down Colestine Road, then turned off at Hilt, CA to an obscure back road that dropped us into Hornbrook, CA. After some peeps topping off the tanks with petrol, our next destination was Copco, CA, incorporating both pavement and dirt roads. It was fabulous out!
It was a blast getting to Copco, going by Irongate Reservoir and then Copco Reservoir before they are drained (the locals are NOT happy about that!).
Once back from Copco, we headed west on a new road that brought us to a shrine and cool bridge!
And here's a little video of our ride with a tribute to the late, great John Prine:

After a stellar day, we'd logged in almost 220 miles of grins!
