SCMA Triple Crown 2022 Best 15 Roads *Southern*

 (11) Woodford-Tehachapi Rd. Junction of Ca202 to Keen

I arrived at the Keene cafe early enough to enjoy a tasty breakfast before checking off the Cesar Chavez memorial, and then doing this road.

I used the Keene cafe receipt to start the Tehachapi road then reversed my ride and rode it the other direction (it was just as enjoyable the second time as the first!) so I then used the same receipt to start the Caliente-Bodfish road.

When I parked my bike this man approached me and we engaged in a long and very enjoyable conversation. I also learned a TON about the Bay area from him. It is these type of encounters that make traveling so much fun!

#7 Golden Gate NRA

These two Gentlemen stopped and chatted with me for several minutes, then offered to give me a blessing, asking for my safety on my travels. 

Of course I accepted their kind offer and additionally asked that they give my bike a blessing. I normally attend a bike blessing every year, but since I had missed the last two years I took advantage of this opportunity.
