im also kinda new to san diego... can anyone reccomend any good places to ride twisties? I had the day off yesterday and i cruised up the 15 north to the 76 east and rode all the way up Palomar mountain... it was friggen awesome!!! although there were kinda a lot of cars in the way :( anyway, im in the pacific beach area and i love riding twisties, i just dunno any places that are close by... palomar mtn is like an hour drive, so any spots closer than that would be awesome... also, no one will prolly tell me, but is there any good spots to practice some stunts as well? thanks 4 ur time, peace!

I just rode out to barona casino on sunday with my buddy. It wasn't busy at all heading out there (had to pass maybe 2 or 3 cars). Took Scripps Parkway east to Hwy 67. Take that south and make a left on Willow, then another left about a mile down at the 4 way stop. There is a 6-7 mile stretch to the casino that's nice and twisty. Maybe 30 minutes altogether from I-15 / Rte. 56 at a spirited pace. That's definetely not the bast road in SD, but it's pretty close and relatively uncrowded.

Other roads are Poway road out to Julian, De Luz in Fallbrook. Palomar gets crowded/policed/debris-ed too much these days.

As far as stunt spots, the loading area in the back of big stores (target, home depot, etc.) usually have a good 100-150 yards of empty and pretty well lit space to **** around on without fear of police (unless someone is still in the store and calls the cops).

But I'm down to ride any weekend. It's always nice to have a couple of riding buddies. I'm in Carlsbad btw.

We should get a meet together. There are so many riders here, but its all unorganized.

Also, riding to Barona is not a good call. The road is always busy, and people get faded at the casino and drive down the mountain drunk. I grew up in Lakeside (the bottom of the mountain) and always heard about people dying on that road (Wildcat Canyon Rd). There is, however, a GREAT spot in Lakeside by El Monte park on the way to El Capitan Lake. Google that shit and hold on! Its like 7-8 miles of long windies and 5 miles of 1st gear windies.

San Diego is super compact, so you usually have to drive a while to get to a good spot.

We ride highway 94(Telegraph Canyon) almost every Sunday there is a small group of us that go. You are more than welcome to come along. We meet on Sundays at 8:00 am at the Edwards Cinema (Rancho San Diego) at the end of the 94 east. Let me know, I think there is about 4-5 people so far lined up for the weekend.Im in Clairemont by the way.

Point Loma here. Anyone down to just cruise for an hour or two after work on weekdays? Nothing super intense, just cruising.

Anyone going with us this weekend??? Sunday we are heading out for the normal telegraph canyon cruise. We meet at the end of the 94 freeway. Just as the freeway ends you will go through 3 traffic lights and just past the third one there is a gas station there on the right. We meet there at 8 am sunday mornings. PM me and ill give you my number if you are serious.

See you SUNDAY!!!!!!

Escondido here. Just rode for about 150 miles today. Started out from 32nd Street NAVSTA (Navy Chief here) then up to Lakeside through Wildcat Canyon Road, through Ramona, went towards Julian but hung a left on the 79. Missed the JCT of the 76. Had all the intention on checking out Palomar but just took the 79 all the way up Temecula.

Taking the old 94 tomorrow. We are starting out from the Eastlake area. I was told that there was some road work on the old 94. Is this true? We might just take that all the way to Campo (Up to La Posta Road) and then come back the same way. We usually take the 94 then turn left on La Posta to dump us back on teh I-8. From there we take Sunrise through Julian all the way down to Ramona then the 78 to finish off of Escondido. But snow is up on the Laguna Mts so it will have to wait a bit.

I have a bunch of my sailors that ride with me. One has an R6 but the rest varies from a CBR even a VStrom. The CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) approved a Motorcycle Mentorship Program that allows us to ride as a group at least once a month :fact. This is during working hours :toocool:. The program has yet to come off the ground. We are still working on all the paperwork to make it legal. In a nutshell, it is to mentor SQUIDS.
