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.

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 |

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. Tapatalk2 ... |

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.

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.

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.
