Polar Bear Ride Winter 2010-2011

Polar Bear Ride 2010-2011 Winter
NorCal Triumph Riders and Friends


Okay. It is time for the Annual Winter Polar Bear Ride (PBR). I have mapped a route that starts at the McDonalds at Flag City (where Hwy 12 intersects with I-5 west of Lodi). From there we take back roads and city streets and a few miles on I-5 to get to a Valero Station on Hwy 4.

Patterson Pass Road

From there we take farm roads to the Altamont. We cross the Altamont using Patterson Pass Road. Take a break at an abandoned gas station in Livermore. Then we head over Tesla Road/Corral Hollow Road into Tracy and Shorter's BBQ for lunch.
