I love bridge pictures.

I'm always down in SM during the week. I commute from Orange County, so I don't know the areas well. I should bring down my bike and check out these roads sometime. Are they close in relative to Twin Oaks off the 78? I Noticed you said the last picture was around Twin Oaks, haven't seen anything remotely close to these roads, I must explore more.

Every picture tells a story....dont it!!!!!

Thanks! Hoping to bring my bike down and give this route a try in the next few weeks.

Check the So Cal Regional Forum, CalimariChris has a post of the good/common/longer North San Diego County routes. Look at the maps and figure how to tailor them to length you want. Moderate/decent hilly until you head east of the 15, then you might hit some good climbs.

O and, this thread is epic. It makes me want to whip out my touring bike and start exploring.

This thread oughtta be a sticky if ever there was one.

It's Chicago, we don't have open roads. But here are a few thousand cyclists creating open roads just for us to ride :)

Southern part of France. Massif Central. The road was pretty nicely paved and empty to boot.

Quality of the pics are not the best, since those are scans from old slides.

Somewhere in the wine country, VA.
