There was a hawk directly above us soaring on the updrafts:

Time to split up.  The Pashnuts headed west towards LA on 18.  Iheaded up the hill to Big Bear Lake.

Sledding season has started in Big Bear:

Heading down 38.  Despite the 8,443 foot pass elevation, it hadn't snowed for a while so the road was clean and dry.  I didn't hit much traffic either so it was nice ride down the hill:

Almost back to I-10 for the last 50 miles of slab on my way home:

Nice! I'm gonna get on it soon, starting to look like one of those banana-belt winters around here, and it would sure save gas going to the ski valley. Now if I can operate brake and shifter in my tele-boots, I've got it made...

I noticed from your other thread that your bike has a Reynolds Rack.  It'll be much easier to build something that bolts to that than if you had the factory tail rack.

Here's some more info on how I built mine: http://www.motobrick.com/index.php?topic=592.0 (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php?topic=592.0)
