    Weronika is in Ontario now, the ride from Vegas was predictably brutal. Maybe we should all get together in Malibu on Sunday and show her some cool roads and the Rock Store? Who is IN??

    you should take highway 1 all the way to Carmel then stop by Alices Restaurant it's a "must stop" destination of every biker :1drink

    Nope. Not near Carmel. Skyline Boulevard (aka Route 35), Woodside, CA. Skyline is a great road to ride--up on top of the line of mtns separating the Santa Clara valley from the coastal zone. Could take Highway 17 north from Santa Cruz toward San Jose, and look for Rte 35 on the left after a dozen miles or so. That would be Summit Road hooks into Skyline (retaining the Rte 35 designation) after a few miles. It's been a long while since I've been up there but Skyline used to attract lots of squids, so keep an eye out. And despite what the Alice's gang imply on their website it's not the Alice's made famous by the Arlo Guthrie song. That one was in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

    amount of squids dropped a little bit in past few years I guess by natural selection and fact that they only like to ride in straight line Alices changed ownership few years ago to so the food is much better now and of course it's a big moto hangout :rofl

    Squids on Skyline tend to be self-deleting! I remember one who went off at high speed. His bike was found downslope quite a ways but they couldn't find him for a while because his body was way up in a tree.

    OK, it looks like dinner with Weronkia in Los Angeles will happen on Wednesday night after the Kings game (call it 8pm) at The Mexican Riviera Restaurant 4239 Pacific Coast Highway, Torrance, CA.

    See you there,

    We had a great evening with Weronika. I'm not sure what she thought of the LA Bikers, but we all enjoyed meeting her and talking about her trip and the white tread on her tires.

    She took off on Thursday for Santa Maria and I last heard from her when she was near Carpenteria.

    Best of continued good luck on your trip. I look forward catching up with you again one of these days.
