Reposting here on a forum member's suggestion - I welcome any insight/input...
In SoCal for about a week - on Tuesday/tomorrow I have a window of a few hours where I can do a ride. Planning on driving over from the San Marcos area (where I am staying) to do a ride up/down Palomar. I've done a version of this ride from Rancho Bernardo which entailed going down Valley Center and up South Grade and back...the ride down/up Valley Center was pretty sketchy with all the traffic at the time.
Since I have a car, I have a bit more flexibility. Some posts have suggested parking at the Harrah's in Rincon, heading out 76 to Palomar, and up South Grade, down East Grade and back. That sounds like a plan, but I was hoping to squeeze in Cole Grade too.
It's been many years since I've done these roads - any updates on traffic conditions on the major roads I've mentioned above? Any thoughts on how to incorporate Cole Grade into the proposed loop?
Many thanks
