I got 140 miles on the tank, today, before the last fuel gauge segment started flashing and indicating 37 miles remaining.
Came back with 3018 miles on the odometer.
Might be my last ride to Mt. Charelston for a while. It has been comfortable at 8,500 feet, even with a little snow alongside the road, in northern exposure shade.
This next storm will probably create a lingering ice situation for some time after. Kyle Canyon and Lee Canyon have areas of 6% to 8% grades.
