Since the scooter is in Savannah and the bulk of the riding gear and supplies in the hands of FedEx, today was sort of a day off from the Cannonball. Instead, my wife and I did a group ride with members of two local scooter “gangs”, the Santa Barbara Vesparados and Snata Ynez Vespadores, to see the wildflowers on Figueroa Mountain. It was nice to enjoy some nice weather after almost a week of (needed) rain. Needless to say the pace was just a little more relaxed than what I anticipate on the Cannonball in a week’s time.
