Commitment

I was taking last Sunday the scenic route to Chico, so that I could check out some more details of the route and take some photos. Here's the summary:
  • photos of Laytonville (part I)
  • photos and route details for part IV
  • photos of part V
  • dismissed part V alternative - cycling is not permitted in the Trinity Alps Wilderness
  • tried to get details part VI, but all the dirt roads left and right of Hwy 89 were snow covered
  • some details and photos for part VII (Burney, Tamarack Rd)
While I was coming down on Cecilville Rd I hit some rocks and finished off my oil pan. I ended up cycling under the dim start light for 20 miles to the next motel. Monday I got the car towed and drove home in a rental. Now I have reason to go back soon.

Cheers,

Andreas
