I have transitioned from the 'Can/should this pile of parts I got for $150 be restored?' phase, to the 'Wow it starts and runs!' phase, and finally to the 'I can turn the key, kick it, and go anywhere' phase. I like all these phases but today's phase 3 shined for me because my bike, while not perfect, took me on a cool adventure. It is always great to stumble upon something and this place is only 10 miles away. It might as well be 500 miles.
I started on a quick spin down the only local road with decent bends, Live Oak Canyon Road near Rancho Santa Margarita CA. Then I made it up to Modjeska Canyon and kept going up the road till I made it to Arden House, owned by Helena Modjeska, a famous Polish actress in the 1800s who settled far up a remote canyon (prone to floods and wildfires) in the 1880s. I had never been to this location even though it is only 10 miles away. So nice to go to a little paradise and think about what those fine people did with their lives in such a beautiful place.
