There's Angeles Crest toward the 14 to Palmdale
GMR is a popular choice, but I avoid it since it's popular (and a little too thin for me)
Santiago Canyon road, or something like that, is a nice little road in the OC.
Ortega Highway
hehe, and the "2nd part" of Ortega that people don't know about. That one is way far, but also a nice drive.

Awesome places! Thanks for those.

Try Decker Cyn Rd sometime if you're up to the challenge. It starts in across the valley from you and goes though the mountains to the coast. 12 miles

I plan on doing another run next weekend. PM me if you wanna roll

Is this in Beverly Hills? I might try it out sometime, but I was looking for something more local.

Fortunately I think I know the limitations of my car, tires and driving skill

And breaking hard in corners is for pussies

You're welcome.

I'm planning on Palomar this friday night. Anybody want to come?
I'm gonna try and take some video as well. Maybe some pics if my stinking camera isn't having issues.

Starting point is in Westlake Village off the 101. You're alot closer to it than I am, but I'm still going. It's worth it

Ugh, was going to try out a bunch of these but then the fires arrived...any that aren't currently being engulfed by an inferno?

Noooooo! Apparently Little Tujunga, Big Tujunga AND the Angeles Crest will be closed indefinitely. What a downer.

Although this is the least of the worry for anyone who lived up there. Hope anyone who was caught by the fire made it out all right.
