Good riding routes in SoCal??????

I agree with both of you. Nice ride. My variation of the Julian ride. Living in Riverside I like to go up by Lake Mathews then cruise down the hill and hit the "old road" Temescal Canyon Road, go by Toms Farms with a nice cruise passed Lee Lake into Lake Elsinore at Lake Street. From there I head west on Lake Street through town until I hook up with Grand Ave. that runs along the West side of Lake Elsinore. I stay on Grand Ave., passed Ortega Hwy... all the way to Clinton Keith Rd. Mind you, I haven't touched a Freeway as of yet. Once again I head west on Clinton Keith Rd.
up passed Bear Creek to the Santa Rosa Plateau where the two lane road flattens out some and the riding is fantastic! Up on the plateau you will soon find yourself among acres & acres of avocado groves with third and fouth gear riding, up, down, twisties but almost zero traffic. At Tenaja Rd stay to the right and it will become Via Volcano if you stay straight. At Avocado Mesa Rd make a hard left...(careful here...always lots of loose sand) just for a short distance and it will become Los Gatos Rd after a sharp right turn....here it's a very steep downhill ( I use second gear) to a stop sigh at Carancho Rd. I make a left turn on Carancho Rd to more Up & down riding...lots of avocados...until I reach Sandia Creek Rd.....where I make a right turn. Stay on Sandia Creek Rd for the majority of the incredible ride until you find and it becomes De Luz Rd. Continue on De Luz Rd south all the way into the town of Fallbrook. When you get to Mission Rd in Fallbrook, make a left turn (East) and take Mission to the 15 Freeway South for just a VERY SHORT distance to Hwy 79 (Pala Rd) head east out passed the casino to the Hideout..or from there take hwy 79 and on into Julian for some well deserved pie. The directions sound alot harder than they actually are, and it's such a nice ride.
Ride safe, and have some pie...

Yeah, I've done the ride from Toms farm alongside I-15 down through Lake Elisnore and it is a nice ride. One time I got lost in those Avocado groves in De Luz and damn near run out of gas before I found a way out of them. That area is like a maze, drove me crazy, won't be going back in there again!

It's nice back in there, won't see another bike, let alone a car, for at least an hour. Scenery is great. Neat 'shortcut' to Hell's Kitchen if I do say so myself.
