Mapping a few routes and looking for a way to bypass a section CA78 from Santa Ysabel to Ramona. Coming south on Mesa Grande, I figured on splitting off and taking Black Canyon Rd. Has anyone ever been on this road, car or bike? I heard it's doable with touring tires as part of the road is unpaved but smoothly graded hardpack. Anyone have any thoughts?

Try Old Julian Hwy. You'll still have to use part of 78. When you get to (I think) a red barn on the left, turn left and it goes to Ramona.

As a bonus, it's all downhill.
