Thanks, that's pretty nice stuff. I guess those "road bikers" are good
for something!
I was climbing Glendora Mountain Road in Southern California's San
Gabriel Mountains this morning, and the motorcycles were numerous and
noisy. Luckily, we started an 8 km descent at just the right time - the
motos didn't catch up until we'd reached the bottom.
