Hi, there.
This weekend ride was one of the nicest route I have been...
Good and pleasant weather condition and warm temperature helped to enjoy my riding. :cool:
As my route reference said, road was really twisted.
Technically the most hard one they said, and a lot of sports bikers...speedying.
I saw a bike accident at the entrance of the route to the Palomar Mt., hope biker was O.K.
For me (or others like me, slower rider), it was O.K..
Just enjoying the scenes with resonable speed.
Actually, enjoying the scenes while riding is not true, couldn't do that as road condition does not permitted me.
I had to stop to get some fresh air and enjoy the natures beauty.
There are a lot lot lots of beatiful vista points, I would dare recommand you to visit this route.
Aha.......
Finally, I got SNOW. ha ha ha :)
Starting altitude about 3000 ft, I saw snow.
It would not melt down even if the temperature was above melt point.
If you have Google Earth installed on your computer, try to play the route of Palomar Mt. (Highway S6, S7).
Just for the fun.... :roll:

I got some photos to share with you....

Hi, Mr. Moedad.
I thought that you had ride with Mr. Alan at the last weekend....
About "Cold" situation, none.
Even on the top of the Mt., temperature was pleasant for me.
However, I had to wear rain suit and winter glove when I ride to back to home on I5 freeway.
Time was late afternoon, and cold wind from Pacific Ocean made me little chilly.
That's all, and it was a good riding.
How were the hot dogs?
Hi, Mr. Dan.
The hot-dog was just fine.
And actually, the sign of price stopped me to take one.
Many people were stopped and enjoyed the Hotdogs, might have some reputation....
Thanks for sharing your ride. Nice to see some one has good weather and a place to go.
Thanks Mr. WW alwasys for the comments.
I hope that you would have a good ride soon.
There is one qoute, "The time on the wall will not stop whatsoever!!!!"

Thanks everybody!
