Margie Goldsmith Bikes The Sierra Nevada And Yosemite
Correspondent Margie Goldsmith talks with Paul about a recent trip on a BMW motorcycle from San Francisco to Yosemite and through the California Gold Country and the Sierra Nevada. She discusses some hair-raising adventures on the back of her husband’s bike on some backroads. It’s an adventure combining thrills and even some luxury. But mostly it’s about incredible scenery.

Hello Paul,
Read the story of Margie just now…Funny that you used the word “bike” in your article, since it was a MOTORbike, not a bicycle as they are proporly called.. As you may remember I am one of the principal fouders of MOUNTAIN TRAVEL, the pioneering Adventure Company. I recently biked, i.e. cycled solo
from Berkele, my home town to Yosemite Valley in five days, at an age (82) where most people wonder
how they will get on with the day ahead.
IF all goes well with my health (I have asthma) I plan to continue across Nevada in April or May in 6 or 7 days, and then, perhaps, God willing, I’ll go all the way to Denver.
Cheers and Happy Holidays
Leo

Hello,Leo,
I know your former partner, Richard Bangs (from when it was Mountain Travel Sobek). Note that there is a photo of me on the back of the “bike,” so its clear it’s a motorcycle. Good for you — staying in such great shape!
