2011 Harley Ride

 For the Harley ride of 2011, July 6 - 12th.  Ray wanted to return to his favorite ride.  It is a 33 mile stretch from Willits, CA to Fort Bragg, CA.  A twisty windy road of floor board to floor board motorcyle bliss.  And to accompy Ray this year would be Kevin, Al and Jim.

Ray, Kevin and Al rode from Salt Lake to Reno where they met up with Jim.  Jim flew in from California, rented a bike in Reno, and off they went to California.  This was Jim's first Harley road ride and he had FUN!

This years trip had beautiful weather!
After leaving Reno, the group looped around Lake Tahoe, headed back North through Truckee and Quincy.  South to Yuba City and West past Clear Lake to arrive at Willits and onto Fort Bragg.

Fort Bragg is located on the famous Highway 1.  Highway 1 follows the coast line from Washington to Mexico with breathtaking views all along the coast.

 Tradition is to stay at the same little Mom and Pop hotel in Fort Bragg.  And drive down to the harbor to eat sea food in a little diner on the water.





 The trip would not be complete without a ride North, up Highway 1 to Leggett, home of a giant sequoia tree called The Chandelier Drive Through Tree.  Carved in 1930 it is aproximately 6' wide by 6'9" tall.

Heading back, they altered their normal route and headed south on Highway 1 to Highway 128 and through Napa Valley before heading east on I-80 to Auburn. 

Lunch break!

 And a rear end break!

 Then North on State road 49 to Grass Valley and Sierra City. Another beautiful, beautiful day!

Ray loves riding in California.  He has been there with his friend Jack Sieverts, wife Monica, Dan, Kevin and I, Al and Jim and maybe more....

It truly is beautiful and worth every mile! 












Whether rubbing your good luck charm,  

or trying to keep the speed limit under control.











We recommend this ride and would be happy to ride again if you need a buddy!
 Happy riding!
