Cardiff to Julian
How far and what roads? I'm staying down that way for a couple days and would like to ride into the hills. Good ride or not? Any other suggestions?

Thanks G. The 20 & 21. I ride well with others, but I have a problem with being on time. Usually, I wake up to late. But, I'm open to suggestions.

You're welcome. There is 5800 feet of gain in the first 51 miles. Highland Valley Rd is a great climb (steep and fairly low traffic).

The ride to Julian is a really good one. There are also a couple of stops (Santa Ysabel or Ramona) where you can fill up your bottles.
I prefer the ride from a little further south so you can also climb the Poway grade - a very popular hill in these parts. Here is a MB activity if you wanted to see this route:

Other two suggestions for rides would be a ride up and down the coast (HWY 101). The climb up Palomar mountain is also a really good one, although you would probably want to drtive to the start.
