Lots of stops, picnicking, playtime. Most of the stretch features dry smooth pavement still closed to cars,
so it was quiet and peaceful, not to mention warm, wind still and strenuous.
Smile, and then a 40mph roll back to the valley.
Gorgeous. You are too lucky, what a beautiful place to live. Should I ask why there were no cars on the freeway?
Anyhow, that ride looks beautiful. And to spend it with family on top of that... what a blessing!
