Ahhh...Palomar...I rode the roadbike (bicycle) there about two years ago, had a blast! I can't even imagine how fun it must be with a motor.

Palomar

"Those of us who climb this mountain a lot know that climbing it on a weekend has a particular challenge to it: Motorcycle cafe racers love this climb, and scream up and down its hairpin turns all morning long. It is not unusual to get to the store at the top and see 50 or 60 of these bikes in the parking lot."

depending on if I have to work or not and the weather, I might be up for it.

Palomar scratched due to likelihood of road condition issues...Big Bear is the new target. There's some guys from another board going there also.

everything fun happens a long distance away this time of year

are you sure Big Bear is going to have good weather? I think Big Bear is higher than Palomar......they might have snow up there.

Have you seen all the snow atop big bear? They have had more snow in the past two months then they have had in 15 years I heard. That means streams of water across roads and the low and high side pebbles all over the road.

Well, there's a ride on the 16th...in So Cal. I'll be going SOMEWHERE, even if its Tijuana...somewhere, that day.

Just curious, has any So. Cal member taken their bikes into Mexico?

I would actually park across the street from the border and taxi to TJ...but I wouldn't guess too many unless they have full coverage.

I'll pass on big bear, there's too much snow and ice on the roads up there right now.

 

[pchbreeze]

If that's the case, Palomar would be where the rideoc guys will go too...if they don't have too much snow. If not, I'm off to TJ...not sure what for, but maybe Ensenada might be more appropriate since I'm not a big drinker and don't do whores.

I don't see why it wouldn't be open. It's supposed to be sunny and 66 degrees on saturday. Looks like they had snow just a couple of weeks ago. Maybe call mother's kitchen and see if you can get more info on the current road conditions.
