Head Out on the Highway

Warmer weather in Southern California brings out motorcycle madness.  My boyfriend and I have been cruising on our Gold Wing for over 10 years now, but since our motorcycle club disbanded five years ago, we had yet to find a new group.  Although we enjoy going on rides by ourselves we missed the camaraderie and companionship of other biker friends.  Recently we've been lucky to find two groups we found through the internet; Moto Photo (motorcyclists who are also photographers) and Tri Valley Riders.  Here's a series of photos taken during the last few weeks of rides to various So Cal locales. 

Angelus Crest is a highway winding through a national forest, which a few years ago had a tremendous fire destroying a major part of the terrain.  Many of the roads have been closed until this year.  Driving through the forest, remnants of the devastation is still visible, but newly formed vegetation and colorful Spring flowers are growing all over the place.
