Head to Las Vegas

[JoeBloShmo]

Yaya I know I should stay home. Well Im going. Staying at a friends moms house. Have lots of sanitizer and face mask. Leaving in the morning from Santa Rosa at 7am. Supposed to stay two nights then back. But theres a chance we ride towards LA on friday and up Hwy 1 to home on Saturday. We’ll see. Anyways hope everyone else is getting some ride time

Stay safe JoeBloShmo on that ride and keep an eye out for that Bus!

[JoeBloShmo]

I saw one the other day

[Brad_G]

Was that your challenge? I guess I didn't look that far back in the thread.

[JoeBloShmo]

No the buss is not my challenge!

[JoeBloShmo]

Looks like our trip gets pushed out a day. Barstow CA is flash flood warnings for tomorrow afternoon.

Been riding when it's nice out. Going into restaurants to order food...shopping at walmart, Krogers, RK, etc. Not trying to be close to people but not convinced Covid 19 is all that bad. Still a fraction of deaths attributed to China Virus from January this year to now compared to Influency in the US. Also numbers are inflated regarding fatalities "linked" (not necessarily caused by) to Corona Virus.

[Flashback]

I haven't been riding much this year. It would be just my luck to have a mishap and end up in a hospital and that's the last place I wanna be at the moment.....

Keep us posted on your Las Vegas trip and whats happening there.

[JoeBloShmo]

I will. Like I said we had to delay it. Theres a storm in Southern California right now. Looking to leave tomorrow. Im so anxious to leave and start riding!

[JoeBloShmo]

Well we made it! 10 hours flat. Gps app died so no stats. Just over 600 miles. Will do site seeing and more pictures tomorrow.

Still looking for the bus. Figured Id see one in the desert but nope. 630ish miles yesterday. Bertha ran great no hiccups at all. Made four gas stops and five stops total. 10 hours flat. Gas mileage sucked as we had head wind going up hill. Heading back to Bakersfield tonight. More pictures to come

[JoeBloShmo]

Todays journey home!

This is the most Bertha has ever drank in on time.

[MikeyC]

Most I did was 5.2 and I thought that was pushing it. Was Las Vegas as deserted as the pictures we see?

[JoeBloShmo]

Yes. We rode right up the Vegas sign for pictures no line, a few people. No one walking strip. Empty. Fremont Street experience boarded up. Very few people out.

[KCpartsguy]

Wow! I hope Vegas will bounce back. We enjoy going every 2-3 years.

im with you. the virus itself i dont think is that bad either. but to those with other health issues it is and its probably the most contagious thing out there by the way people make it sound so i can kinda understand the concern but i cant understand the outright worldly panic. and the whole wear masks thing is a joke. the virus is .1 something microns big. medical masks filter to .3 microns. so thats like me walking through a 6ft double door in comparison

Slipped in a 340 mile ride Friday playing our game. Heading out today for 300+ nice little loop up the coast. We bring a lunch, the only people we get close to are gas attendants, otherwise, it's normal for us to ride 3 or 400 miles and not come in contact with anyone except gas attendants.
