And it is called Palomar. Here area few shots from my ride today. I must say It was wonderful, no traffic to speak of, I think I got caught behind 3 cars and one dumb a$$ hd. Most of the cages I rolled up on pulled to the side or used the turn outs. Put in 260 miles, from 9:45 am to 3:00 pm and went from 2k up to about 6k and then down into the desert.

This is 1 of 2 other riders I saw all day.

the S. Grade is very twisty and some of the turns go on and on and on, you have to be careful, several times I found myself starting with good corner speed, cracking the throttle and on the gas through the turn thinking it was going to end and it just gets sharper and keeps going. It was harder going down with this then going up.

These are some from the back side of the E. Grade, it is longer and a little faster in some sections but with lots of the same sharp twisties as the S. Grade.

Down to the desert, this was a change but it had a section of twisties that were as good ort better than the mountain. It also had a nice straight to open it up on.
