I went on a solo ride about a year ago, down around Tahoe. Lunch at S. Lake Tahoe then on the Markleeville and over Monitor. Back north on 395 for home. Nice views of the valley from the east side. It only took about 6 hours with a couple stops. You guys must have had fun. Soon as I get my chain master link squeezed I'll be on the road again.
