Smile Favorite ride in SoCal?

Hey guys, new rider here. I just did a super nice 22mi trail around Mt. Baldy last weekend and I'm looking for another(maybe longer) ride for this weekend. Any good spots?

Get a map and take the back roads down to Julian in San Diego for some apple pie. :-)

Crystal Lake, up at the end of HWY 39 in the San Gabriel Mountains. It's really pretty up there. The owner of the Cafe is a nice guy and biker friendly.

There's an app called Riding Social, it's made by the people that do Butler maps and they have the routes color coded. So, you can plan out a route and see how cool it is.

Just did this route yesterday with some friends. Starts off with long sweeps that you can power through. Further up the mountain, the turns get much tighter. Best of both!

Just watch out for wild animals... found this guy on my King!

In the high desert I like old RT66 from Victorville to Barstow thenext hit the 247 back down through Lucerne Valley. From there you can head back to the 15 or run up Hwy 18 to Big Bear.
