I'm in Temecula doing Jeep work. Wish I could make this!

Hmmm....I was hoping that the route would take us one way towards the north, kind of like the ride last year but in reverse. Rather than starting in Redlands and end up at Poly, you would start at Poly and end up somewhere near the I-10.
Did I miss something, but how many miles is this route?
I may pass on this one unless we end up further up north.
I'm in!! Gonna be a lotta miles, but I can't wait! :thumbup:
What kind of pace are you guys planning? I usually prefer full leathers, but if it's hot and we're just cruising I'll stick with the kevlar jeans.
Either way, I'm ready to finally ride Palomar and it'd be nice to stop in Julian. I passed through Julian on my "extended route" back to LA from SD on Memorial day through Anzego-Borrago and back up. Looked appetizing.
In my opinon, all organized group rides on this fourm should require everyone to be in full gear.

I agree. However, sometimes when you ride in a group, full leathers can give a rider a false since of security. Meaning you may ride faster than you should in order to keep up with the rest of the group:spank: I say wear what will keep you safe mentally and physically.
Here's to a great ride:thumbup:

I don't think the fire is even close to the mountain ranges that we're going on. Angeles Crest is a totally different ride.
Go check out the link that I provided from the other group ride to Palomar.
Scroll down the thread and you will see th link.
It just made a liar oudda me! Okay I think I see what your saying. I think why I don't understand it as well as you might think I should is I never did the ride last year and have been just sorta helping out planning this. I ride these areas quite a bit so I have a little knowledge on them.I keep trying that link and it's broken. I'll ask Dennis....
Ok cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll be wearing my leathers since I'll probably be 'inspired' to ride quickly. Just wanted to make sure that the opportunity would be there and that I won't be the only one in the group roasting in them
I agree with all of your statements on gear (full gear, not necessarily leathers, decide for yourself with safety in mind).
The only one I really had a problem with is Wavex and his knee puck suggestion. :spank:
Anyone can drag a knee if they're wearing "a couple" sets of knee pucks... that's cheating!!!
maybe I'll just tie them and drag them behind me...

I might be interested in this ride. I'm a slow rider and not up for crossing double yellows or racing out on the street.
If any newer/slower riders want to join up, but are worried about keeping up with the spirited riders, I'm willing to hang back, ride sweep, and make sure everyone makes it to the meetup spots.
Montezuma is one of my all time favorite roads, so if no other moderate/slow riders are going, maybe I'll just meet up and ride that portion with you guys. I'm not a huge fan of Pally on the weekends, so like I side I can sweep and hang out out Mothers while you guys make some laps on P.I.R.
