Red face A nice driving experience... [link]

Well, just yesterday I got a little friendly with the local roads here in Central California. A classmate and I took the 58 through santa margarita, to west pozo road, to parkhill road, back to 58, to 229. The 58 (http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/Highway58.htm) was fun, but the 229 (http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/Highway229.htm) was just spectacular.

Having my sunroof slid back while cruising at a nice 130 around wooded areas with the sound of of a twin turbo rotary wailing thought the woods is an experience that I will most likely remember for a long time. Then came the curves...


The curves were the best. I didn't plan on taking them as fast as I did (since it was my first time on this route), but they were all a blast. Some 90 degree blind turns, massive S turns, zig-zags, everything. If any of you sports car/2-wheel goons are ever in Central California, I highly recommend this route.

I've driven those roads several times. I try to take the scenic route from San Diego to the Bay Area when I can. Great roads.
