Chad Johnson and I decided last minute to meet for breakfast and a good, punishing bike ride. Hey, what are Sundays for anyway? So after steak and french toast we set off toward Snow Camp summit through Korbel. One of my favorite day trips, this route taxing with plenty of dirt climbs and false summits and ends with a high-speed spin down the 299 back into Blue Lake. This time Chad and I encountered a pleasant addition: We didn't get passed by a single motorized vehicle from Blue Lake all the way over the mountain to the 299. Yes! We also encountered three run-ins with less-than-model canines.
