4.5 hr gold country ride

[glib]

I went on this killer ride Sunday. Four and a half hours (mapquest.com says it should be five) and you can see by the map (link) that it was all about the twistys! There was two or three miles on Sheep Ranch road that was really rough--just a road of patches, but the hairpins and elevation changes keep you too busy to complain much. The rest was very smooth.

I tried to figure out how to embed the map but I guess it won't work for forums--or I just don't know what I'm doing. Here's the link:

I need a GoPro type camera with a long lasting battery and hard drive that is, well, much cheaper than GoPro. Much.

Lucky you. I went out today and put in 211 miles with no twisties any tighter than about a 30 mph posted curve. What a drag.

Wish I had a go pro to show the best road I have to ride. It' only about 3 miles long with some mediocre curves in it. And to make matters worse, it is 30-35 miles to get to it.

It really sux living here in the flatlands.

I drove through Nebraska on Hwy 80 11 years ago from Detroit where I picked up a car through Ebay. I don't remember a curve of any kind on that stretch but there was a great classic rock radio station that stayed with me through the entire state.

I guess I'll have to see what a salty monk kit is. Do you have a link so I don't have to look through every thread that has "salty" or "monk" or "kit" in it?

Salty Monk is a person (forum name) and he made adapters to allow the use of Kawasaki's twinpot brakes on our forks. You can do a search on twinpot to get more information

Thank you. That is a looong thread but looks like a valuable upgrade.
