I came up from Los Angeles on my 696 since Ive picked up a remote job and I'll be here for a few weeks. I want to go explore some and do some riding through some mountain passes. What's a good half day jaunt through the mountains?

half day...

you might be able to get down to the 504 and cruise up to Johnston Ridge and back in half a day

that is a fun ride

Cool, thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out when I have time.
