0 0 8 custom alchemy for 2011 riding the beat in ... - Harley-News

I had ridden more than 200 miles, starting at sea level a few miles
from the Pacific Ocean and ending at Running Springs’ 6,200-foot
elevation. In the process, I wore each of my three pair of gloves:
hot weather (desert), intermediate (Orange County), and cold
(mountains) in one day.
California, I decided, is a nice state for a biker. I spent my
younger days as a hobo racer here, and today the Golden State
remains a treasure trove while I enjoy my golden years as a road
warrior. And of the $100 I started my ride with, I spent $27.85
on gas and $53.26 on food/snacks/beverages, leaving me
returning home with $18.89 in pocket. I’ll put it toward my
“unpending” retirement.
