got outta town and nibbled at the western end of the san berdoos via ca hwy 138. parked near the 15/138 intersection. roughly 14 miles along hwy 138 till the road turned up and in to the mtns. and boy, did it ramp up for the better part of 3 miles. some serious out of the saddle moments. eventually crested the
high point by old mill rd. turnoff. noodled and toodled around before hitting the quaint hamlet of crestline and lake gregory. rode up to ca hwy 18 to head east to running springs and big bear but the legs denied services. rode back to lake gregory, ascended old mill rd. and descended the 138. hit a headwind once past the silverlake reservoir but stopped at the little silverlake general store abo 5 miles for some ice cream and kicked it in the shade while chatting with a local about vintage steel frames. traffic was low, road quality generally good and the weather would have been tough to improve upon.
