Possible distractions to a gorgeous day on the roads of Marin:
A. Daytona 500
B. Oscars Prep
C. The MSMC Carmel event the evening before

Anyway, it made for remarkably empty roads and they were dry, free of ice, water, debris and the weather was phenomenal.

It was just yours truly, Jock Rystrom and Kim. Kim bailed at Point Reyes and Jock and I carried on to Occidental. Afterwards, I took a jaunt north and was amazed at the conditions of the roads (clean, clear) and how little traffic there was.

A local roadblock on Coleman Valley. I actually needed help from a car who pursuaded him to move off the road and prevented him from turning and charging me. Pictures don't tell you how absolutely enormous this bull was.

Point Arena

Around Albion

I sort of got carried away and 350 miles later, got home just as the Red Carpet previews were beginning though I did miss Jimmy Johnson's victory.

Great Day on the roads.

that fella looks like a French Charolais - they are bred to be huge - but are quite docile around humans who treat them very well because they are very valuable - on the other hand he might have thought you on the bike was another kind of bull he had never seen before and well you know the rest

I have got to get the 1150 out of the garage
