Cool & overcast this AM and heading out on my own for a while. Robin will be back with me when I get down to Fort Lauderdale, FL for the last two corners – I miss her already.
Leaving Lemon Grove, CA. April 19, 2014 (in my new Les Wheatley Equipment Rental t-shirt)
Found a great motorcycle road this morning. Hwy 94 eastbound out of San Diego.
This sign means – Good Motorcycle Road Ahead.
April 19, 2014 (374 miles)
On Hwy 94 there was a guy taking pictures. He puts the pictures up on his web site and if you want one, he’ll be happy to sell you prints or a digital images kinda like the pictures at the end of the log ride at Disneyland. I saw him when I went by but I was going way too fast to try to stop, so I turned around and went back to see if he got my picture and to verify his web address so I could go look at them. We talked for about 15 minutes about motorcycles, cross country rides & bucket lists. I would like to thank Doug Aguillard from www.motophoto.us for the images and hope he enjoys going “along for the ride” as a blog subscriber.

Things started seriously warming up after that picture was taken. Doug told me that this weekend the Yuma Prison Run was going on and I thought I might go to the ride end point at the fair grounds there in Yuma and check it out. Wrong – too hot to be standing around just out of curiosity. Hwy 8 to Gila Bend (pronounced He-la) then northbound to the slab. Rolled into Peoria around 4:00 PM. Looking forward to some more family time here in Arizona.
P.S. Checked out that web site and – I’m putting the next Yuma Prison Run on the calendar.
Caught up with blog after corner one.
Hope Easter with family was good.
Chula Vista to El Centro….made that drive a bunch (argh 40 some years ago). Ride safely…..
