Saturday was crow-canyon out to Tassajara and then out to Tesla to I-5. Then back to Hayward on the 580. Only one cyclist near that lab out on Tesla, so they were easy to get around.

Sunday; CA35, past Alice's to Pescadero, Hwy-1 to .5-lunar-cove then back across the bridge. Oh man. Such a nice, peaceful drive. Nothing was in front of me nor behind me. Smooth roads, great temperature, and letting the little engine sing. Well, the muffler delete sounds better than the engine. Then on the way back, I got to see a real special car.

In the middle lane of the bridge, holding 60MPH the whole way was a Porsche 357 Speedster. What a gorgeous car that is. Owner smiling and cruising across the bay. I've loved the style of those cars since the moment I first saw one. It was great to see a beautiful, silver Speedster just out and enjoying the day.

I had two great early mornings of driving. No cyclists getting in the way, and no minivans mucking up curves. Just smooth cruising, with windows down to feel the cool air, enjoying the rolling golden hills of Livermore and pine trees of the coast while listening to the best driving soundtrack I have; a boxer-4.

Have a great week, everyone.

lol this would be so lovely if narrated by morgan freeman. It already sounds so beautiful in my head.

I'm glad it did. It was really one of the most peaceful, enjoyable driving weekends I've head.

Anyone up for Hwy 25 and/or Nacimiento Fergusson early next Saturday morning (08/26).

I'm bumping up the start time of this Sunday's Mines drive from 9am to 8am, hopefully this will result in less traffic on the road.
