Update - My first full non Route 66 Day
… since starting Route 66, I mean.
Today is the start of a new leg of Route 66. This leg lasts only two fully days of riding and then I have a much-deserved week off.
During that week, I’ll still have daily updates and will hopefully be riding as much as possible.
If any scooterists out in the Bay Area want to show me around, feel free to let me know.
Next week - The Loneliest Road in America (till SLC)…
The blog will probably change a bit. There have been SO many things that I wanted to talk about concerning riding, but have left them out in favor of Route 66 stuff. My philosophy was that Route 66 stuff is happening NOW. The random stuff about riding will happen again, so talk about it then.
Random stuff like - yesterday I noticed that my headlamp was blown. The day before that, it was the highbeam, now it’s both. I’ll be stopping at an autoparts store and fixing it on the road today (or tomorrow). The running light still works, so I do have some protection.
I should have carried a spare. Lesson learned.
Ok folks, it’s nearly 8am on the left coast and that’s when I’m hitting the road.
Big Sur tonight!

If you still have the will and any rubber left on your tires, we would be delighted to see you.
