So Cal drive through the Mountains

[kbuckert]

So one of the guys from work and I are setting up a run through the mountains this weekend in So Cal, Sunday 8-30-2009. He has a 05 Mustang and I have an 09.5 G8. He is going to advertise with his biker friends, he rides a bike every day to work! Thought I would advertise and let ya'all know that everyone is welcome...should be a fun run through the twisty turnies Everyone is welcome to come and join in the fun...regardless of the cars or bikes

The route I am planning starts at Dalton's Roadhouse in San Marcos right at the Hwy 78 and Nordahl Rd exit. Kickstands up at 9:30 sharp. From there it's on to Camino Del Rey, to Lilac Rd, to Sage Rd, to Ranger Rd (I doubt anyone knows about this road), back to Hwy 76.

Then it's on to the front side and back side of Palomar Mtn, and I'm thinking about a stop at the BBQ place in Lake Henshaw. From there it's on to Borrego Springs through Ranchita, and back up to Julian via Banner Grade. From there you'll work your way back to wherever you want. Yes, it'll be 105 in Borrego, but we ain't staying long, so you should be able to deal with it. All the more excuse to stop for an ice cream at the bottom.

I'm really interested in hearing how this turns out... I'm planning a crazy exploration to SoCal and and one of the day's drives (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=embed&saddr=%23++27416+Jefferson+Ave+%23+Temecula,+Calif ornia+92589&daddr=E+Grade+Rd,+San+Diego,+California+to:Mesa+Gr ande+Rd+to:Banner+Rd%2FCA-78+to:Montezuma+Valley+Rd+to:CA-371%2FCahuilla+Rd%2FUS-371+to:74895+Frank+Sinatra+Drive+++Palm+Desert,+CA +92211&geocode=%3BFZb3-wEdC24J-Q%3BFaIh-gEdYaMK-Q%3BFUzD-AEdTEkN-Q%3BFdwO-wEd9rIP-Q%3BFc5-_wEdVggK-Q%3B&hl=en&mra=mr&mrcr=3&via=3,5&sll=33.19388,-116.50589&sspn=0.377511,0.503998&ie=UTF8&ll=33.463525,-116.641846&spn=0.916515,1.51062&t=p&z=9) includes many of these same roads.

Hey Wickedmom we are meeting and racing 9/11/09 at the San Diego Racelegals your invited - 6pm-12am.

Don't forget to stop at the Julian Pie Factory for apple pie and cinnamon ice cream! The one in Santa Ysabel is a little easier to get in/out of... ;)

You can also take Mesa Grande Rd. Off of 79 just North of Santa Ysabel, which cuts off the corner of 79/76 and takes you to 76 a little further West... GREAT road! :D

Is that at the Barona track? I saw it back in June (was there the wrong weekend) when I was going the back way to the barona casino from Carlsbad.

We're already driving out to Ramona to visit a friend on Saturday. 2 trips out that way this weekend (one being a cruise) will really put the meat to my fuel bill. :hang:

If more G8's go, I'll see if I can talk Tami into 2 days of travel. :boxing:

oh...and btw...it was 105 here in Fontana today. :hang: I'm guessing it will be even hotter in the desert.

This is just a little too far south for me. I would totally be down for something closer to me (I live in Rancho Cucamonga).

no worries all, I know it was extremely short notice...we just got a hair up our asses and decided to make a run. I havnt heard too much response yet, most seem to have plans already.
