Redwood Highway & Skyline (East Bay)

I haven't been out riding for a long time - it has been months and man, does the lack of practice show. Spent the morning riding twisties in the East Bay (the Oakland side of the San Francisco Bay) with my friend Dennis and his friend Jean. Here's the route on Open Road Journey. The fog hadn't lifted by the time we reached the intersection of Skyline and Grizzly Peak Road. Had we waited another two hours we might have been able to see the panoramic views from Grizzly Peak Road. The lovely twisites on Redwood Highway and Skyline were plenty good for me - thank goodness the body doesn't forget how to move while the brain is trying to think. The added benefit of riding twisties is listening to the engine's song as you glide through the curves - the baritone of my twin brings such comfort to my heart. When you say "Skyline", most people think of Highway 35 on the west side of the bay. The east side of the bay has great twisty roads with much less traffic (bicycles, cars, other bikers), but perhaps I shouldn't be letting that secret out.
