<p class="MsoNormal">I got no scenery pictures because my hands were busy, and minute loss of focus on road scanning for debris had me hit a rock and blow out a tire / bend a rim, but a wonderful event and great group of eclectic gearheads.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I highly recommend events like this, as in the event of a breakdown there is no shortage of advice. (note the crowd around the Rotary-powered Midget of the route organizer)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also plenty of groups that run at various paces, so sure to find one that suits your tastes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found out on the road that I had missed picking up all the route sheets, so when I got to one junction I just stopped and waited until a cool car came by, (The butterscotch Volvo P1800) then fell in behind them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Above Santa Barbara, Figueroa Mntn road was way to rocky and rutted for my tastes, (and roadster suspension travel) but the rest of the roads were wonderful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The guy on the 1967 250cc Ducati did the whole first day mileage, and I think did 25% of Day 2 until his hands wore out from all the bumps the first day.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Truly workin’ it at every mile.<o:p></o:p></p>
