Hey, what’s up? So... ride395?  Well highway 395 starts a bit north of San Bernardino, CA and runs 1500 miles to the Canadian border north of Spokane, WA. For my purposes its the 300 mile stretch of road that connects Los Angeles to Mammoth Lakes.

After my first season learning to snowboard I found a need for more than the local mountains could provide.  I wanted bigger, steeper, longer and if you live in LA that means Mammoth Mountain. I bought season pass after season pass, and two to three weekends a month I would ride the 395 to snowboarding heaven.  When I finally moved to Mammoth the driving slowed down, but wow, I sure did ride.

Looking back the five hour drive each way seams like out of a dream but the real dream was the riding.  Now I take trips to ride new highways and mountains, to experience different cultures and ways of life, and, always to get some exercise and have fun. 

Enjoy the ride.
