Bucks Lake ride

I was awakened early Saturday morning by my phone ringing. Wrong number. So much for sleeping in. I checked my email and found a message from my riding buddy Ken Hiscox. He said he was heading out on his bike to check out a campsite for later this summer and to visit his Mother in Magalia, a small town up in the hills east of Chico. His message asked if I was interested in going for a little putt.


Anyone who knows me knows I'll never pass up an invitation to go for a ride!






Our adventure took us up into the mountains. In several places, the snow along the roadside was still over four feet high!













After departing Bucks Lake, we rode on to Quincy for a bite to eat, then west along Hwy 70 to Paradise and Ken's family in Magalia before returning to Sacramento. As Ken headed for his home in Concord, I rode with him as far as Vacaville before heading back home. We had a fun day filled with twisty roads, beautiful scenery, delicious BBQ tri-tip sandwiches, visiting family, and getting a few miles under our belts.




And this is what 417 miles of springtime California bugs on the front of my bike look like!
