Another nice ride up the canyon

We went up Angeles Crest today. Was really nice. Not a lot of traffic, surprising for a Saturday. Headed up to Newcombs ranch and stopped off for a bite to eat and some coffee. We kept going up the mountain for another 5 miles or so and turned around.

I bought a new Shoei Hornet DS in matte black. It is the most comfortable helmet I have ever owned. I am particularly falling in love with the visor. It keeps the sun out of my face and my eyes don't end up getting fatigued. The shield on the front sweeps pretty wide and I have full peripheral vision. It is also the right fit for my head shape. Kind of looks like a fighter pilot's helmet.
