No. Calif fall color watch... - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

It's been a really CRAPPY year for riding. After the wet spring, the only big ride I took (Chico to San Jose) resulted in an $800.00 tow bill home on the 4th of July so I'm looking forward to a couple of good fall color rides in the Sierras. Those of you from Sacramento north, please throw up a post if the color is good. I'd love an excuse to go take pictures of my bike. Did I mention my computer crashed, the external h.d. took a dump and I've lost most of my bike pics from the last 7 years!??!

Wow, that sux.

Don't wait for color. Come ride now. 70-Feather River Canyon is always a great ride...

Like jinglebob said, go for a ride. The colors are there now.

I rode around my area, just north of the CA/OR Border, yesterday. Lots of Aspen/Cottonwoods changing colors NOW. Planning on going out today with a camera.

Hey Buzz, try the Orville Quincy Road up past Buck's Lake, haven't been up that way yet but it should be getting good............also the Quincy La Porte Rd should be getting nice this time of the year............

Not much happening in the valley floor yet. Best colors right now are at 8,000 ft.
Me and my kids are going to ride se of Sac (hwy88 ) this Sat, just to keep Mother Nature honest.

p.s. My hd is trying to crash so I bought a ext hd and moved all my pictures over but for some reason the ext hd causes xp to hang up. although my pics are safe,, I hate to hook up that drive to access them.
