S4 USMC-Civilianized

Hit it last night, and damn, the crotch-rocket crew has it right when they flock to this road. 7 miles, about 3000 feet in elevation change, and tons of 180+degree twisties that get your heart pumping. If you're in SoCAl...DRIVE THIS ROAD!!!

Anyone know of any good and fun (but safe) driving roads south of boston or around new london CT?

Dillo

Or the Julian run. That's nice too!

Bad MAF

Yup. From the top, down the backside to Julian via backroads is one of the best roads in SoCal.

is there much traffic on it?

Bad MAF

You'll see a sign that takes you up the mountain. Traffic is dependent on when you go but for the most part it isnt' too bad.

if you are ever heading north on the 5 and need to get over to the 101 or vice versa....i always need to do it driving from so. cal. to the monterey bay. hit up the 198. its about 40 miles north on the 5 of the 46 and 10 miles south of king city on the 101. its about an hour of awesome driving, long straights, awesome curves. just an absolute blast to drive....

it's good but watch out for cops =) they frequent that a lot... and look up highland valley pass

They put down a high durability tarmac in '98 that really reduces traction. Also beware of the crotch rocket crew. I have had a couple close calls up there with a biker coming over the centerline at me. We usually had several fatalities up there every year until they stepped up enforcement.
