I'll join in on one of these rides, but I'm grounded at the moment - waiting for a new ECU to come in.

Ah, I see you have found it....
What happened to your ECU?
Still the dreaded Italian Electronic Gremlins?

Yes, the Italians are apparently lacking in patents

I've missed out on the last two of these rides and sadly will miss another. I'm waiting on parts to fix my smashed up rear brake.

seriously sergio.
if the long term history of that section of road comtinues to be consistent, the window of opportunity to ride it is very, very narrow.
the SOB will slide off, fall down, burn or otherwise incapacitate itself in a matter of months if not days.
it's one of those roads that doesn't want to be a road.
the chaz bono of asphalt.

One of the big right hand sweepers (going up) used to be nice and smooth... single apex, now it's basically a double apex but in between there's an ever so slight pavement change (in height as well) that makes the turn an absolute *****.

I'm out for this week although I could ride next week Thursday, weather permitting. It's getting pretty sketchy weather wise though. Did idylwild last Tuesday and spent nearly the entire day in low clouds and fog, wet and cold.

What the hell, I thought you had some pretty strict rules about not working on week days, and not surfing on the weekend?
