A little bit of everything-Solvang/Portillos/Flag
Decided to lump a few pictures and stories in one topic, getting lazy I suppose.
First is a Ride With Ken from Cerritos on his V-Star 1300, to Solvang via Hwy 1 to the 101 in Oxnard and on up directly to Buellton and Solvang. Stopped for Lunch at Anderson's Split Pea Soup restaurant as I had never been there as far as I can remember. Place is getting a bit shabby around the edges, but food was good if a little pricey. It was pleasant until we passed Santa Barbara and turned inland then the heat started piling up rapidly. After lunch motored into Solvang for a brief stop and a Chocolate Eclair which we split. Bought a pin for my vest.
ON the way back we took the inland route past Lake Cachuma and made just one stop above Santa Barbara
A quick stop on the highway.
Riding back into the LA freeway mess was brutal. We went south on the 405 to the 105 Fwy but that turned out to be a mistake and we cooked and just about crawled.
