California Loop 2018 Day 3 Part 2 – Lost Coast Honeydew to Mattole Point

On this day, I ride from Honeydew, California to Lost Coast Mattole Point on the Mattole Road and Lighthouse Road. The road was in pretty bad shape and I was not as comfortable on Dexter as I am now.

At the time of this video, it had only been 8 months since my nasty motorcycle accident where I high sided off the bike, and only 5 months since I had purchased Dexter. So, a long story not as long, I rode very slow though many portions of these roads the were peppered with potholes, washouts or in some cases half the road was gone. Also a fair amount of gravel where the asphalt had washed / worn away.

Regardless of the sketchy road conditions (and my inexperience with Dexter at the time) the scenery was fantastic and this was a very memorable portion of this trip for me.
