Day One - July 23, 2009: Glendale, CA to Tonopah, NV (350 miles)
Angeles Forest Highway, California
My first stop of almost every ride, the summit of Angeles Forest Highway. The ideal spot for a plein air piss, standing by the side of the road in the sunshine. All movement carries a certain momentum, the larger the vehicle the harder it is to stop. I don't need a parking space, or any particular place.
Mojave, California
Mojave feels like the edge of town, finally. In fact I wont ride in traffic again until I get to Kelowna, BC. Mojave has that light that fades and washes out everything. I used to marvel at that light in LA.
Death Valley, California
112 degrees doesn't feel so hot until you stop. There is no shade so I zip the jacket higher, pull the gloves over my cuffs and wrap up until there is no skin showing. 112 degrees on a motorcycle is pretty similar to 60 below in Jackson Hole.
