American Ironhorse Texas Choppers ride up to Mount Laguna and Julian CA.
My 2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper and Eric’s 2004 Texas Chopper. A November San Diego ride up to Julian California which is northeast of San Diego and about a mile high in elevation.
Julian is a very popular motorcycle riding destination in San Diego. If you ride east out of Julian down the banner grade you leave the tree covered hillsides for typical desert scenery. You can ride around granite mountain on S2 (the Great Southern Overland Stage Route) as you head out toward Ocotillo at the junction of Highway 8. now, depending on your time you can just head back to San Diego on eight as you climb up from the desert floor heading west.
Or, if you have more time you can head just a little east from Ocotillo and perhaps stop by to visit friends and family at Centinela State Prison. Just a few more miles east on Hyw 8 you can catch 111 up to Bombay Beach alongside the Salton Sea. Continuing north 111 it becomes 86, and that runs into Indio and Highway 10. Highway 10 W. goes through Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and then you could hook up to 215 S. to Highway 15 for your ride past Lake Elsinore and Temecula, as you head back into San Diego.
