SoCal driving roads
 

Anyone know of good driving roads around Long Beach. My all time favorite canyon road is Decker Canyon Rd. Potrero Rd is fun as well. But these take an hour to get to. I did find Palos Verdes Dr E which is at the end of the 110. I just wish I knew of a few closer twisty turn roads.

Not into long sweeping high speed turns. I prefer lots of hair pins and "S" turns.
Any ideas?

Thanks

I like Angeles Crest and Ortega. I want to discover more roads in SoCal since good motorcycle riding weather has arrived and some riding buddies want to set up some rides soon.

I tried Angeles Crest in my 350z but the altitude change just zapped my performance. Ortega looks cool i'll have to try it out.

Thanks

When I have the time, I'm going to post a whole highlighted map of driving roads. But in the meantime, I'm going to list out a few to remind myself later when I get to the project:
Mulholland West
2 North to Angeles Crest Highway (Straightaway to curvy mountain roads)
Topanga Canyon Road
Griffith Park (circuit?)
Latigo Canyon Road near Malibu (This one is made me carsick, and I don't get carsick either!)
Sepulveda Blvd

I know what you mean. There's a seemingly endless onslaught of aggressive/tight turns and elevation changes on that one.

In the same general area I like stunt and piuma. They remind me of decker but closer to get to, if you live in the west valley/LA.

I vote for Topanga Canyon. I took it from PCH to Calabasas last month and it was a good drive. Just watch out for the crappy stop sign cameras turning off of PCH.......

Angeles Crest has too many cops, we did a cruise once and it was a massive fail

I normally like going up Topanga or Kanan or even the Tujunga to Palmdale route is fun too

I go from the Wrightwood side to Newcomb, then back. There's hardly ever any traffic and never seen a cop passed the Wrightwood area. It's easier that way for me since I'm coming from the I.E.

Thanks guys for reminding me how many great roads we have here.:tup:

Latigo Canyon and Old Topanga Canyon. Kanan is okay as well.

Kanan doesn't have enough sharp turns for me. When I am out in that area I usually prefer Decker Canyon Rd. Right now I have been having alot of fun on Turnbull Canyon Rd in Whittier. Turnbull has pretty narrow roads with tight turns just kinda short.

Glad to see this thread!

Does anyone know of any good ones near the inland empire/riverside area I SoCal?

I would have to include the Idyllwild, Big Bear, and Palomar mountain on my list of great Socal twisty roadways.

Idyllwild is good. Just drove it a couple weeks ago. Ortega is good too but gets crowded sometimex.

Just visited Sequoia this weekend. This one is a time commitment but it's beautiful for the forested part and it makes Palomar feel silly. Very technical, i.e,. blind crests, blind turns, decreasing radius turns, but it's worth your time and gas if you find yourself nearby on a weekend.
