Any updates on the meetup?

Nothing concrete with dates as of yet. They're busy on releasing something big not related to the event, I'm trying to ready up for this upcoming weekend's races and pulling stupid hours at work since half of my coworkers got arrested/jailed over anti-war Facebook posts because there's no 1st amendment in Belarus.

Anyone on here hit up Ortega highway? It’s pretty close and I’m wondering how traffic/police presence is…? Presumably if I go real early it will be good?

Was on Ortega last Sunday. Ran from Capo east. The road is all FU. A lot of construction widening the shoulder. Running Pedders eXtreme and thought I might lose a kidney. Highland Valley in Escon is worth the drive if you are out of the NCSD area.

I’d be coming south from the 15/91 interchange… that’s a bummer to hear, was it any fun or just beat you up?

First half was chill but once you got into the hills it was pretty bad. Once they have the work completed it will be awesome.

If you're in NCSD, the best is taking 78 east to Julian, and then 74 north to Warner Springs, then east to Borrego using Montezuma, fantastic cruise, plenty of curves, and a huge elevation change going from the mountain to the desert. Not advocating speeding, but if you've got a prepped car, you can look/read far ahead, and have a lot of fun coming so close to dropping to your death, without all the towing miles to Pikes Peak.

Great run - BUT it's the 79 - not 74 - that's goes to Warner Springs. Also, best done at the crack of dawn to avoid traffic.

And can you go fast? You bet - I hit 160+ in a C6 Zo6 somewhere out there.

Ah tyvm, it is the 79, and not the 74, you're correct. 74 I believe is like Orange County to Palm Springs, by way of Temecula/Hemet.

I can't show you the video evidence, at least here, but there are some great stretches out that way -- there's a road behind an airport which has no houses or driveways on it, flat as can be, and I've seen some grudge matches go down over there. Goes so fast that I'm scared to do it in the Stripper because I've never even put her in 6th.

I15 to Pomerado east, left on Hidden Valley Rd. This is my all time fav. Eventually end up in Ramona. head up the hill towards Julian. Here it becomes decision time ... do I keep going to Julian for BBQ and brew or make the left at Santa Ysabel onto 79. From there you can stay on 79 and go past Warner Springs till you see the BEER sign. Stop in and see Omar. Tell him Mike with the white GT sent you. On the weekends there is food and sometimes music. I'm thinking this might be a great place to have a meet-up.

Your thoughts?

Are you talking about that little place at the very sharp bend at the bottom of a hill on the 79?

Are you talking about the Glider place on 79 outside of warner springs?

Assuming you are talking Highland Valley?
