Question Ontario CA Visit - Ride Ideas

Ok, going to be in Ontario on business the week of the 18th of Oct. Going to have 1 free day and have a friend (may be the best friend ever) who may be able to get me a Harley for the day to ride.

Any suggestions on where to ride would be excellent. Going to see Route 66 for sure as I am staying just a few miles from the road but would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Ride up My Baldy and around the Angeles National Forest. If you have more time, head up to Victorville and check out Cajun Pass on the way. It's been about 11 years since I was there but always loved Cajun Pass.

Route 66 will be kind of disapointing to see and ride. You'll be in the city. Four lane road with a center turn lane. A few old buildings to see but mostly urban sprawl with signals every block or so.

If it was me, I'd head up Hiway 15 through Cajon Pass into Hesperia. You can take the Bear Valley Hiway to Hiway 18 and up the back side of the mountains to Big Bear Lake. Stop by big Bear Choppers for a tour. Then it's a nice ride down the mountain into San Bernardino. 18 to 330 to 210 and back to Ontario.

Default mountain lakes

Ontario area is bordered on its' north & east sides by vast mountain ranges. A road map will show the routes along the chain of lakes in this region. This is some of the best riding I've ever experienced.

If you have ALL day to ride, then like the others suggested, take Angeles Crest highway going west. Drop onto the 2 freeway and take that to the 134, over to the the valley and cut across Mullholland. Drop down to PCH and get a bite to eat at Neptunes Net over looking the coast. Ride down PCH into Malibu and then cut across the 10 going east back to Ontario. It will be a nice long ride but you will see some of the best SoCal has to offer.

Or get a map and do whatever your friend suggests.
