I took the long way home too but did not head north. Left the event around 1pm and took 152 from Watsonville. From 152 made a left on Watsonville road and on to Uvas rd all the way to Almaden Expressway.
Ride was great till I caught up with a couple of Harley cruising below the speed limit and would not let me pass. Love the Harley and the exhaust sound but not for 15 minutes and directly behind them.
