Palomares - Not bad, about the same as it has been for months except a pothole going south bound shortly after entering from north bound.

Redwood area - Have not been here for a long ass time. From oakland side down before the junction to pinehurst / orinda there was a major bump in the shadows. Thought my spine was going to blast apart. So far so good and it's been a few hours since. Hopefully I don't wake up all fucked up. Fun road but it's just all bumpy for the most part. Also why are there so many cops here going up and down / sitting around. Today I saw 2 pick up truck cops ripping it up and down WAY beyond their posted speed limits (not that any of us follow that anyways) but rules for thee not for me type shi. Around the 35 mph zone I saw one ripping uphill, shit my pants after seeing his ass. Second one at the 25 mph chicanes I cannot confirm or deny I was double that by the time I passed him also shitted my pants and looked in the mirror.

What going on out here? A few of my buddies went last friday and on the weekend also said saw suv/pick up cops ripping up and down. Did not expect cops ripping on a tuesday late morning nor did I expect there to be cops on this road at all.

Skyline / grizzly - felt super rough as well. Just turned back down to fremont after taking a breather in the forest
 
Back in the day when the Redwood Road TT was a thing you'd see cops all over that area. EBRP even had a moto cop but you could also encounter Oakland PD, Cal Berkeley PD and even some CHP. I imagine with Redwood being open from Castro Valley now you'll see more kids attempting to "drift" their Camrys and that might lead to increased enforcement.
 
I'm Glad you and your pants made it without incident !
 
I rode it yesterday. Maybe it's a delayed response. :devil
:twofinger you were flying through or what. All Alameda shrieff 1 pick up, 1 suv, few moto. Can't tell via pic but he was smiling because I tap my helmet to let him know of the cops ahead... I let a cop know that he's a cop, that there are more cops ahead
