The area in between Highway 243 and Palomar Mountain should really disappear. Imagine being able to ride from the fast side, straight into the San Gregorio Mountains. The awesome climb and descent of Highway 74 would be there too, of course, and there’d be no barren wasteland to cover in between—that’s the way I would have made it.
Mountains belong together don’t they? Wouldn’t the world be a better place with Highway 243 right around the bend on Highway 79? A normal San Diego ride would be to hit Palomar, the 243, and Palms to Pines for a finish. What a day that would be! …But no…Instead I have to go out there and take on fifty miles of deserted plains full of nasty, sticky heat in order to get there. It’s really irritating, an inconvenience, and I pray every night for that distance to disappear. Boom! Gone from the face of the earth, just like that.
Angeles Crest should be here too. You could turn it sideways and run it alongside Sunrise Highway. That would save me oh-so-many unpleasant hours of trolling along on the freeway. People in LA might not like that, but we could always arrange a fair trade. Possibly 4th street?
Also, Borrego Springs needs to cool down during the summer. Maybe a small glacier could be placed somewhere nearby. That would certainly make the earth a better place to live, and save me the trouble of waiting until fall to hit up Borrego.
Lake Ellsinore could use a glacier during the summer too. Maybe even a few penguins as well. Who in their right mind wouldn’t like to see a few squawking penguins on their way to Ortega?
Last of all, I see no reason why Highland Valley Road can’t be around the corner from my house. I don’t need that 7-11. Clear out a few houses, a few McDonalds, a lot of Starbucks, and slap Highland Valley down right there.
That would be just fine. :D
