I made an day of it. Up through Oakland and Berkeley, stopped for lunch in San Pablo, went
across on Alhambra Valley Road to Martinez and then to Suisun City. After getting the picture,
took highway 12 to Rio Vista then went south to Antioch, on to Livermore and then home.
All right, on to the next one.

Yeah, I think we should span every MVer that lives in the East Bay to see if we can quicken the pace of our tags.

Alright nothing like a quick cool freeway jaunt to the Benecia Bridge.
The ride back was both a little more fun (Orinda/ Moraga/ Canyon backroads) and more stupid (had a little road anger on 24).


So here's the tag.


And the appropriate new spot


In Honor of Veterans Day and the Ft Hood Victims. Should be easy to find. The hard part will be the camera location and angle.
Enjoy!

Congratulations! This is the administrative offices for the Benicia bridge.
Pretty fancy: no wonder the tolls keep going up. Great choice for the new tag.

Awesome! That's why I had parked illegally and then laid down on the street to get the angle right. You should have seen the looks on the hotel guests.

It's all yours. I was on my way this morning and my muffler fell off in Lafayette. Fortunately I wasn't on the freeway. A very kind gentleman did a temporary fix so I could ride home, but I don't think I'll be going very far afield for a while.

Had the rear tire replaced a couple of weeks ago and thought the banging coming from underneath was the shocks. Looks like the muffler wasn't attached properly.

Way to go Tigerdog!
I believe this is our first tag team effort. Great job and hope the ride was fun, as well as chilly.
