California Loop 2018 Day 3 Part 3 – Lost Coast, Petrolia – Capetown

Click Photo for Video

In this video, I ride from Petrolia, California to Capetown, California along California’s Lost Cost on Mattole Road. The remoteness of this area of California along with the scenery makes this area a great ride and place to explore.

After my roadside pitstop at Captetown, I discovered that the angle on my GoPro mounted to the top of my helmet was too high. A bit of a bummer that I didn’t capture any usable video of Ferndale, California. This is a charming small town and there was parade on this day that I rolled through (I don’t think the parade was in my honor though).

On my next helmet, I have mounted the GoPro on my chin. I like the viewing angle better from here as you can see some of my motorcycle. However, my wife prefers the view from atop of the helmet, better for scenery she claims. Who’s right?….who knows (until she reads this, then of course she is right!) 🙂
