San Diego Motorcycling – Julian California

by Oakley

San Diego Motorcycling – Julian California

San Diego is perhaps the ideal city for motorcycle enthusiasts, with year-round riding there is a very large and active motorcycle community.

San Diego chopper motorcycles ride from Santa Ysabel CA, East on CA 78 to the old gold mining town of Julian California.

This motorcycle ride video starts at Dudley’s Bakery in Santa Ysabel, CA  Some say it’s the best bread in San Diego.

If you haven’t been through this area it’s a must.

The historic 1870s gold rush mining town of Julian is just about an hour east of San Diego at a high elevation 4,235 feet. It is one of the premier motorcycle ride destinations in the county and is unique in that it has four seasons.

Now more famous for tourists and apples and apple pies that oyou can enjoy all year round, Julian has become the center for visitors who wish to visit the mountains and take day trips to the nearby Anza Borrego Desert State Park .

At the start of the video you will see a park entrance that is just above Coleman Creek. Coleman, a Black rancher and experienced miner, discovered gold in the creek here while watering his horse during the winter of 1869-70. On making the discovery, he immediately began panning in the shallow waters which now bear his name.
