Saturday: Newcomb’s, the Crest, and more!

As you know from reading our blog, we canceled the 3-day ride because our numbers were dwindling. Arlene and I were chatting about this on FaceBook last night, and she floated the idea of a Saturday ride. My first reaction was “duh…of course….why hadn’t I thought of that?”

So, thanks to Arlene’s suggestion, that’s exactly what we are going to do.  I’ll be there on my Baja Blaster, Steve will be with us on his custom yellow CSC FrankenScooter, Bruce is joining the party with his turquoise-and-white Softail look-alike, and maybe a few others will sign up between then and now. 

We’re gonna ride due east from the plant along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, we’ll take a gravel road (at very low speed) for about 5 miles to get to Lone Pine Canyon Road, we’ll follow that to Wrightwood, and then we’ll pick up the world famous Angeles Crest Highway. Yep, the Angeles Crest Highway…one of the best motorcycle roads in the world!  (If you want to know more about the famous Crest, you can read about it here.)  We’ll stop along the Crest at Newcomb’s, perhaps the ultimate mountain road motorcycle eatery, and then it’s a short shot down into Glendale.   We’ll pick up Colorado Boulevard for the ride home.  It will be about 130 miles in total, and it will be fun!

One thing about Newcomb's on the Angeles Crest Highway...they always attract lots of moto exotica, and we'll be adding to it when we show up on our California Scooters!

If you want to join us, all you need to do is be at the California Scooter plant in La Verne no later than 7:30 a.m. on Saturday.  We look forward to seeing you!
