Ok so its slow at work today lol.
I went riding with my brother up the Angeles Crest highway in southern California this weekend. Its a great ride anywhere from 1 to probably about 6 hours just depending on how far you want to go. its a nice wide twisty highway going all the way up the mountain and over the other side starting off the 210 freeway and going to the 14 freeway on the other side of the mountains. Its in really good shape as well, starts out with a great view of the city and has one of those motorcycle hang outs about half way up with food called Newcombs Ranch.
You can google satellite it to take a look or check this picture. This brings me to the point of my post.
Its a very long twisty going for many miles, im going to guess somewhere between 40 and 60. The funny thing is that when we got there after not having been for a month or two to my utter surprised it was completely re-paved and re-painted. Now if you live around here you know that there is a ton of roads you can barely go down they are so bad. Yet they take one of the longest and twistiest and best roads around and re-pave it again? Only In California. this must have cost at least triple digit millions. Now granted I like that they repaved this road for us motorcycle riders, even though it was fine before, however the state is in massive debt and they may want to learn something called prioritizing a little better. Must be City council member has a cottage he spends one weekend a year at so wanted the whole highway repaved.
If anyone has any good crest stories or photos share them. if you haven't been out there now is a good time with fresh pavement!
