November Chapter Ride - The Secret Mountain Pass Ride!

You got through Thanksgiving, the in-laws are still there on your couch. You got through Black Friday and your bank account is low. How about a little "Me" time? Let's ride!! This month we have stitched together some of the best roads in the San Diego back country! We will head up Hwy 76 and turn up the road to Mesa Grande for some fun curves and wide open spaces. Then avoid Julian weekend traffic and go around on Wynola Rd. and out to the Sunrise Hwy to our lunch stop at the Historic (1940's log construction) Pinehouse Cafe. Then we'll drop down the mountain and go through Guatay (love that word - a Kumeyaay word meaning "Big House" or Chief's House") and Descanso, and back up the 79 into the mountains. We'll roll through Julian and stop in Santa Ysabel if anyone wants to pick up a pie or some bread, then down to Ramona and take the 78 to Escondido where the ride will end. About a 4 hour ride with lunch in the middle - should be a fantastic day in the mountains!

Arrive with a full tank, check your tire pressure and tire condition - lots of twisties on this ride! Check the weather, this time of year typically requires layering your clothing for time of day and elevation changes. Don't be a turkey - come ride!
