it's relatively quick and picturesque ride..

Please see the note below from the first post.

  • If you want to post a loop, post a map for each of the component roads, to the extent that doing so is possible. In some places, you have no choice but to connect road A to road B because there is no practical alternative (e.g., Sierra to Felter). Otherwise, listing the component roads makes it easier for users to build their own routes out of those component roads.

Please post individual roads rather than loops. Loops are too hard to manage in a list of this sort.

Thank you.

Thanks very much, Bill. Beautiful photos. Thank you for posting the map links. If in your naming of the road, if you could name the end points, that would be very helpful. We can get that from the map too, but it would be good to see without having to open the map.

Thanks again.

Thanks.

Please add endpoints, like you did for Hwy 25 and Loneoak, and map links, then I'll put them on the list.

Great stuff from the south! Thank you. While it may be possible to see it by opening the map link, it would be really helpful to post the endpoints of the part of the road you're recommending. For instance, not all of Hwy 33 is all that interesting on a moto, and it would be helpful to know what part is being recommended. For instance, Hwy 33, Ojai to 166. Google won't let us map it currrently, but we will be able to when it re-opens.

Thanks for all your work on this, John.

it's a lot of fun, and not much work compared to having to pull everyone's map links together and organize them! :thumbup:laughing

i'm getting geared up for my fav BARF rally which I think I've only missed once, the HoHo Weaverville rally, July 28-30--so your map link project is helping me get psyched for that trip, which may be a ten or 14 day trip because I have a rally up by Downieville the weekend before. w00t!

You are riding the fire roads on Diablo? Is this like a night time poaching deal?

one of the tricks I use when google won't route a vehicle is to click the "walking" icon. for the KLR stuff I try to map, google will often put in gaps to defeat GPS on gnarly roads ... here's your route with the "walk" icon, for some reason it only did the Diablo stuff: google walking map link.

my fav Weaverville Bally Watch Tower is like that, the road goes through but Google won't map it, even if you check the walking icon. :facepalm

Intel via PM then?! I am on Diablo a lot, the horseKarens get all huffy over bicycles- I’ve never seen a vehicle off road. Seen a couple Surron tracks and have thought about poaching it myself… but if that’s legit, I’m gonna be up there ‘splorin!
 
^^:thumbup

I'm not familiar with Mt Diablo at all, having been up there only three times--so I got nothing about any of the routes ... just knew about the google map trick to try to fill in the gaps. :angel
