Butte Meadows

Rode a loop up to Butte Meadows today, 195' elevation in Chico, 4300' at Butte Meadows. Rode up Hwy 32 turned right onto the much less traveled road to B.M. and arrived at the Bambi Inn about an hour from home. Always get a kick out of the effortless way this machine climbs the hills! Seems to like working better than cruising on the flat.
The Bambi Inn


Got an Drumstick ice cream and chatted a bit with the bartender. A long deserted bar and a couple of pool tables. The place probably gets going in the evening.
Came back over the ridge thru Sterling City, Magalia, and Paradise, which is unfortunately still a mess and will be for some time. 95 miles, great mountain roads, not much traffic. Three hours door to door, a great ride!

Sounds like a peaceful ride Ben70.

I understand what you say about hill climbing. It does seem to not complain at all which makes the machine that much more unforgettable.

I sure wish there were places like The Bambi Inn here in the Midwest. Nice ride report, Ben.
