Day 21 - I feared this day. I had to go 400 miles South to reach Leguna Seca by then next day. The GPS read 6.5 hours in the saddle. Its manageable on a big Harley-Davidson, not on a small 650 dirt bike that rattles your bones at 70 mph. With no windshield I fought my way South. I took shelter from buffeting winds from trucks and saw a whole lot of nothing. With a freshly lubed and adjusted chain (thanks for letting be borrow a breaker bar and 24mm socket NAPA!) the bike did fantastically. My butt in agony I somehow made it through the peak hour sun past San Fransisco and made it to Monterey. I was rewarded at the end by the tightest little paved road I’ve ever been on. Its rare to hit first gear as I climbed the hairpin clad road. In the coastal national park, I found White Oaks up a dirt road. The campsite was reserved but no one was home. So I took it, I needed it more than them 😌
