My first trip report was lost in the glitch so I'll try again.
I always consider the Indian Wells pro tennis tournament the unofficial start of my rec tennis season. This year would be unique in that my wife along with her team won the fall Norcal Tri Level tourney and was invited to play and the national tournament alongside the pros with the other winners from across the country. This of course gave me a great excuse to put hours on my 3B.
Heres my machine, ready willing and able, with a fresh oil change and glossy coat of wax.
After departing KCCR I connected with flight following and was quickly given a transponder code. Cruising down the central valley at 9.5 with pristine weather was a good omen.
These #'s arent too bad for a plain vanilla RV. 32 statute mpg at 204 mph puts a smile on my face
After an hour or two I was nearing my first rest stop in Banning. My dad had a request for me to test ride an electric bike he found at a store in San Diego. I suppose 350W bikes are hard to find. Anyway the weather was perfect and the RV gobbles up countryside, so why not? Banning would provide a quick mental break before entering the Class D sandwiched between two big Bravos.
This is busy airspace!
Dont let the clear skies fool you. I was 3 or 4 in line while they operated parallel runways
