[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 112757, member: 21"] There was a plan for a long ride this weekend. It didn't happen. At least for them. The start was tough. I rolled my bike out of the garage. However, I over slept and didn't get underway until 9. No big breakfast this time. A cup of coffee was the only fuel until lunch. The ride was circumnavigation of Edwards. Gas was an insane $4.79 to $4.99 for premium. The station I was going to hit in Green Valley was out of fuel. I made it to Lancaster with about a quart of gas in the tank. Since I started late the first fifty miles were Pavement. The route was heading east along the south side of Edwards AFB with a stop in Kramer Junction. Since I went past an empty gas station I stopped at every opportunity. It was already noon so I thought "munchies at Astro Burger." It wasn't open. Not abandoned, just not open. My coffee was getting lonely so I made for Randsburg with all possible speed. I saw some of those red signs from Fremont north. Some were on trails I've ridden for 20 years. What a joke. The next stop was the Whitehorse for a burger and a beverage or two. From there it was a ride through the Rands and into CalCity. For once I rode that CC10 into town. On my way from Cal City I found some little sand dunes a few miles out of town. Made a few poor navigation choices on my way to Mojave, but I crossed the tracks at the chemical plant. I was pretty tired so I just took the Power line corridor from Mojave to San Francisquito and then it was 18 miles of Pavement to home at 5:30pm. Tthe ride was 244 miles taking 8 hours thirty minutes with 6 hours and 54 minutes on the bike. Oh man was I tired.
