Post of Pic of your favorite road/twisty

adri99an · July 30th, 2010, 08:29 PM

Here's a pic of my favorite road- it's on Glendora Ridge Road....it's got a few straightaways just before hitting the turns

Anyone else have a road or turn they love to tear up on their Ninja?

Here are the pics.......

Classic!

billybobjoeiv · July 30th, 2010, 10:35 PM

wow, jealous! theres nothing good that i know of around me. id LOVE to have that road here in ohio haha

adri99an · July 31st, 2010, 10:11 AM

I suggest you head down to Cali...run over our governor on the way.

GeneJunkie · July 31st, 2010, 11:39 AM

There are a lot of fun roads in Cali. Ryan rides route 18 to Lake Arrowhead. I'm scared to drive on mountain roads in a car which pretty much has kept me from trying that route. Something about no guard rails and being able to see straight down to the valley scares the

outta me.

Hi Cindy - red X on the second pic, the facebook pic isn't open to the world, it may be visible by just you and/or facebook friends.

GeneJunkie · July 31st, 2010, 02:34 PM

Bah, I stole the pic from my fiance's mom, guess she made the pics private.

adri99an · July 31st, 2010, 02:54 PM

Cindy- where is this at?

It's route 18, it starts off in San Bernardino and goes up into the San Bernardino National Forest to Lake Arrowhead and you can loop around to Crestline and follow it back down. It's a huge elevation change, it always makes my ears pop going up there. Since you are in Glendora all you have to do is take 210 east and take the 18/waterman exit. Hang a left onto 18/waterman and have fun going up the hill.

A couple of shots of some local roads that we have learned to live with. The biggest down side is very little traffic and the one road is only 60 miles long. lol

Thanks so much for the "New Ride" and adventure I will hit soon. Looks nice! You ever ride Glendora Mountain Road or GMR? How about Mount Baldy?

adri99an · August 1st, 2010, 10:45 AM

Calvin- those are sweet twisties!! They remind me of ACH or Angeles Crest Highway - here in Cali.

GeneJunkie · August 1st, 2010, 10:59 AM

Ohhh that's what GMR is. I'm still getting used to my bike and honestly just started riding 3 months ago... took the MSF course and bought my bike the following day. I haven't attempted really anything beyond the commute to campus, bike night and Dairy Queen, lol. When Ryan and I both have a day off we ride out to Lake Mathews to help me get used to getting up to freeway speeds so I can tackle the freeway eventually. I will have to let him know about those rides, he is always looking for new twisties. What is the route? Also he told me last night that he would meet up with anyone to ride.

take the 210 East....exit Sunflower-hang a right.....to Foothill go left to Valley Center hang a right to Seirra Madre-left to Glendora Mountain Road quick right!!

Follow GMR up and have a blast! From there- you can go to Mount Baldy or Azusa Canyon....Maybe he and I should meet up one day? The turns are very technical but a blast!

Ken, that pic is absolutely beautiful! I'm envious! ;-)

adri99an · August 7th, 2010, 10:43 AM

Glendora Mountain Road from above

LegB4Wicket · August 15th, 2010, 06:12 PM

An active and (now) paved logging road between Port Renfrew and Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island.

Normally there's not too much traffic but you do need to keep your eyes peeled for logging trucks and tourists pulling trailers and boats with their RVs and SUVs.

adri99an · August 17th, 2010, 06:53 PM

Very Very nice! I see a road like that and wanna ride.

KELPHYN · September 8th, 2010, 03:04 PM

A little gem we came across on holidays, Mount Revelstoke National Park. Unforunately you have too pay to enter national parks, but it was worth it. Really tested the o-ring. Would have been alot better if it wasn't raining. Might have to go back and try it on a dry day. 23kms one way,desent pavement, little traffic.

Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. The "S" curve.

Breitenbush Road between Detroit, OR and Estacada. Sooo good.

ninja3575 · November 16th, 2010, 02:04 AM

That road right there either ends at a pot of gold... or is the twisty that takes all good riders to heaven... great photo as well...
