Weather permitting, a riding buddy and I are going to Death Valley from Santa Barbara about March 15 and returning later that week.
Neither one of us had ridden the road around Palm Springs, Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead. I was thinking of leaving DV and heading down to Palm Springs/Big Bear and the next day (or two?) riding some of the twisties between Palm Springs, Big Bear, and Lake Arrowhead and then slabbing it back to Santa Barbara.
I would appreciate your recommendation(s) on routes. I have attached a couple of possibilities. I'm leading toward the first link and not the second one. Both of us are use too 500 mile days - slab to twisties, ride the twisties, and slab home.
Thanks,
Roy
