Talking L.A to Julian, fantastic ride

Some friends and I to a ride to the little town of Julian in So. Cal. What a beautiful experience. The guys kept saying, "this is why I got my harley".
The road out of Temecula is hwy 79 and there is about 50-60 mi of unabated riding. There are some casinos along the way if you feel the need to gamble or just get something cold to drink. But Julian is a quaint little town with alot of friendly people and some great resturaunts, They even have a little store called Hog Heaven, where you can shop for all kinds of cool Harley clothes and stuff. I highly recommend this ride if you are in the area.

Yep. It has to be one of the premier routes in this part of the state.

Did it several months ago and will be going again soon I'm sure.

A great addition to a vist to Julian is to go south out of town on 79 through lake Cuyamaca to old Hwy 80, take a left through Pine Valley to the Sunrise Hwy, witch brings you back to 79 about 6 miles from Julian. A couple of hours in the most scenic part of the county.
Don't forget the apple pie in Julian.
