Yeti 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Santiago is definitely big bike doable. If I get my 950 finished on Saturday, I may be in for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.JAJA 380 Posted August 12, 2015 It should be cool on the mountain (top). GGEarth looks like Gravel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted August 12, 2015 Get to Fallbrook. Take Teneja Truck Trail through the hills over to Ortega Hwy crossing. Continue up to Santiago Peak. Some back roads, some dirt roads, incredible views. Along the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bike 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Hmmmm never done this ride before, What kind is it ? Fire road, a lot of it is in good condition, some not. Short hills with loose shale, some hills with whoops from 4 WD, ruts. One section of pavement, but narrow and poorly maintained (South Main Divide Road) Right now I'm at advanced beginner, I've ridden this twice when I was a beginner beginner beginner beginner.... ; ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vacman 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Unless you're leaving at 4am bring a ton of water. It will be 90 degrees by 10am. It may be slightly cooler at altitude, but you still need to ride back down! Be safe, heatstroke is no joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceCowboy 52 Posted August 13, 2015 wish I could make this. Looks fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Bike 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Mileage between gas stations? Matt You'll be able to fill up in Fallbrook then Lake Elsinore. I'll have to look at the mileage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti 0 Posted August 13, 2015 These bikes all easily made it to the top of Santiago Peak: To enjoy this view: On a clear day, you see Catalina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bike 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Alrighty, its forecast to be 102 at the Santa Rosa Plateau (a good part of the ride before the 74 is at this elevation) on Sunday and 107 in Lake Elsinore (where you drop down because Bedford Rd is closed - or at least last time I looked). The start should be nice, 90 or so in Fallbrook. I really don't like heat so I'm going to hit this next Sunday, so far its going to be low 90s. Much more civilized! If you still want to go this Sunday, let me know and I can send you a route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
