80 degrees here today

 Did I ride?

You bet.  ;-)

 
It was so clear in Ventura today, I could look south and see Anacapa
island and look north and see Topa Topa bluffs from the beach.

I was all over. Went up to Grant Park and did a up and back along Foothill.

Beautiful.

 

There were only about four riders trying to demonstrate their bravery
on Jacinto Reyes Scenic Byway (aka Highway 33).

CalTrans was cleaning dirt from landslides. The southbound lane was
closed for a short distance at Wheeler Gorge, so there was an
automatic traffic signal installed.

I took the side road down to Rose Valley, looked at the hippies and
the waterfall at Lyons campground, and continued down to Piedra Blanca
trailhead where hikers can follow Sespe Creek all the way to Fillmore.

There were places where water was running across the road, nothing
that would prevent passage, it just gets a motorcycle muddy.

There were boulders laying along the road side at Pine Mountain
Summit, and Lockwood Valley was its usual nasty flooded mess from
Reyes Creek, where you have to ride through the creek (there's no
bridge), and there was even deep gravel on the road in one place.

I saw only one vehicle from Ozena Valley to Fraser Park, but I made a
wrong turn at the ranger station and saw a small bobcat run across the
road.

It was the second bobcat I've seen in a week. The first one was
*huge*, it was was enjoying the sun's warmth and it just looked at me
and closed its yellow eyes and took a nap.
