As Autumn sets in and Winter draws nearer, and we see less time on the pavement on our bikes. You stop and think about the miles and memories you've put under them old tires. Some bad, most good hopefully. And, you may be thinking about one last long haul before garaging her up for the winter, some will be thinking about, or already have gotten their cold weather gear out for the season. Personally, I plan on making the trip out to Talihina, and taking in Highway 1, or Talimena Drive. Planned on going last year, but the slight mishap of laying my bike over around the first of September, and a majorly sprained ankle prevented me from going. So, I plan on hobbling my gimp ass over to my bike one set of days off, and heading that way.
The basic route I plan to take. No guarantees though.
