Oceanside CA
I did, I Did. I went for ride today.
First two days here was raining almost all the time. Was getting storm alerts on my phone. To me I would have said "its raining, raining hard some times".
53 degF, cloudy, this morning. Got out ! !
Headed to the nearest good road, about 25 minutes thru suburbia to some twistys in canyons and rolling hills north of Fallbrook.
Du Luz road
TO find this:
Road Closed signs all across the road. Lots of cars going around, so I did too.
Ew, yah, still some water running acrost road, and lots of debris....
.... and then mud and big rocks and more mud... and other evidence that had been a river running down the road.
Turned around.
Wandered around, and found way to "the 15" to go north abit and then headed west into the area of the canyon and twistys.
Opps, a week late for the vinyard-orchard-grove picture game.
Wandered around the area for a couple hours.
Didnt get pics of the best roads, just isnt no place to stop.
Had a quick lunch and,
THen found way north to Ortega Highway. Took that west
Again, Didnt get pics of the best part of the road.
Then zoomed back in "the 5". Traffic buzzing along at 85-90mph, 4 and 5 lane wide.
Could see ocean for a while. And MetroLink passenger train for a while going about same speed.
Then close to Oceanside, is a couple more exit-entracence and traffic down to 10-15-20 mph. Did a little splitting there, and on local road.
Was out for 5 hours. Good day.Last edited by Redman; 02-15-2019, 09:13 PM.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

Got out Saturday. Headed east on CA76 to other side of the 15.
Went to the Pala-Temececula road.
Got to talk to a tribal officer, who told me how the road "is gone".
And saw construction equipment going in and out.
Same thing happend here that happened the other day when I stopped at the road closed sign: About every 3rd car that came along would ask me if the road was open to blah-blah road or something like that. I would say I didnt know and am not from around here. I was wondereing why they would ask me, just because I had bike stopped in the road and was standing there. Later I thought maybe because it was a blue RT and that looks somewhat like the cop bikes that are not uncommon around here. But I am not in uniform or nothing and bike has not badges or anything. So maybe they were asking me just because I was standing there.
Went to Lilac Road and found it to be a gravel-sand-mud road. Went to Lilac Extention Road and found a gate closed across the road, no sign, just a big gate across the road.
Went to Couser Road.
Went past the sign. Rode thru some water running over road, then about a mile later was the debris and mud and construction crews works, so turned around.
Went to Rice Canyon Rd, no sign there, so headed north that way. A couple bikes and a truck comming south all gave me the "slow down" sign.
Saw evidience of problems there, but, ah, wasnt too bad.
Naw, wasnt any place with water running more than 2 inches deep, wasnt any place with more than a 1/4th of the road missing.
Made it up to Rainbow Cny Rd, and got lost on a Rainbow This Rd and Rainbow That road, then back to Rice CAnyon to head back south to CA76 and back to home base.
Was out for about 4 hours.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

Tuesday ride. Mid40s at 9am.
Took the 5 to the 805 blah blah to SD BMW dealer.
Either I have lost the nerve, or this time of year the drivers are not expecting splitters, just didnt seem like enough drivers were leaving room, like they were not looking. I would have highbeam on inbetween the two outer lanes and half the time wasnt room, drivers not moving over like I recall on previous visits here. Has been cold and rainy last several weeks. Only saw one other bike the entire 50 minute trip.
Looked around at dealer some, inquire more about tires.
Then ventured out to Wildcat Cny rd.
Into Ramona.
And Old Julian Hwy.
Headed toward Julian. Was seeing snow on shoulder and feeling a bit cooler at 3000ft.
Took a look at the temperature in Julian... and.... ah... decided to head more northward (and lower elevation) on CA79
............. avoiding the higher elevations as can see here.
Into Temecula.
Zipped back on the 15.
This Michigander found it fun to go along with the traffic at 85-90, when light traffic. And is even more intersteing when traffic on the other side is rolling along so heavy and slow that can see the wheels turning.
Had a little time, so went down to the beach.
Fairly quit down there, after all it is winter you know, 53 degF.

I sorta planned to ride in today, but when I woke it was 28 degrees out, and I just didn't have the willpower for the trip in. I know that's warm weather for some of our northern and eastern brethren, but it just didn't appeal this morning."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

Wednesday ride.
Upper 40s, maybe low 50s, Looked like chance of rain (predicted later in afternoon), so decided not to venture too far from home base.
Went back to Fallbrook to see if make it any further on De Luz.
Got there, no signs were there were signs last week. So headed on north.
DeLuzinal, I say.
Got about 11 miles, at intersetion of De Luz and De Luz Murrietta road I looked at the GPS. THe direction of DeLuz was blank space, and the direction of De Luz Murrietta road seemed to be the route on the map I was somewhat following. But took the DeLuz just because it looked more interesting.
Just past the intesection I found this.
Looked like about 6 or 8 inches of water going across the road for quite a distance. SOme trucks went thru, the road surface seemed okay. I thought I would be okay to go that way, but also thought would seem quite stupid if anything happened. So, I decided against it. Went back to the intersection and took DeLuz Murrietta road.
Didnt get too far and found this.
Did not have to ponder that at all. Saw a truck go thru it and he was bouncing around before got to the obvious break in the pavement.
Pondered again going thru the overflow on De Luz Rd.
Felt the air temp dropping and clouds darkining and wind more blustry, so turned around and head back south.
THe road was just as fun going back south.
Into Falbrook and found a little diner for a small lunch. Then was colder and starting to sprinkle so headed back. Mission to CA76, back to home base. Must have been going opposite of the trafic light timing cus was having to stop at about every light. Was able to split at every light (or maybe that is "filtering").
Got rained on just a little. Made it back before the rain was heavier.
And... then....
...till April or May....
