Going to the rally - day 2

Sunday, August 21. I woke up in Castaic, California. Castaic is just north of the San Fernando Valley on I-5. After an unspectacular McDonald's breakfast, I started north on I-5 towards Sacramento. After about 45 miles, I exited I-5 onto Hwy 99, which would take me through the central valley cities of Bakersfield, Fresno, Merced, Modesto, Stockton, and eventually to Sacramento. I stopped in Merced and went to lunch with my older brother, Dennis. We visited for a couple of hours and I filled up the bike and continued north. After I left Merced, I noticed my right side Kuryakyn longhorn highway peg was out of position. I bumped it with my toe and saw that one of the bolts had come loose. I was worried about losing it, so I pulled off Hwy 99 at Lodi and pulled into an empty parking lot and tightened it up. Back on 99, I soon came to Sacramento and crossed the Sacramento River and continued the 35 miles north to Yuba City, my destination for the day. Total miles = 446.6.
