Angeles Cruise
 

So it looks like I don';t have much to do on Memorial Day so I think I may go for a nice drive on Angeles Crest highway. Anyone have any suggestions or tips like where or when to be on the lookout for cops, or nice scenic spots to stop? Any places to eat?

The only thing I could advise is to get up early before the bikers and slow pokes show up.

And by all means watch your speed if you going up on Angeles Crest. CHP likes to pop folks going up and down :shakes head:

Or I might do Osborne which I missed a few weeks ago. Just looking for tips for a nice drive on Monday since it's a holiday.

how early is that?

I would shoot for around 8-8:30am and grab breakfast afterwards :)

I haven't been up Osborne in ages

hmmm, less cops on Osborne or Glendora Mountain Road? I'll be in the SGV over the weekend so they're all aboutt he same distance from me.

We know this all too well :shakes head:

I have a beltronics radar detector, will this help much here?

Angeles Crest has a 25mph speedlimit on the way down, that's impossible to maintain and the day that we were there the CHP were out in FULL FORCE

Either go very, very early or late at night. Do not go during the day

Got it. If I wake up really early, Angeles Crest. If not, GMR or Osborne (Tujunga Canyon Road).

GMR is just as bad for cops. They even have guys going up and down via 4x4 trucks at 60+ MPH and daisy chain waits.

Even though we were driving under 25mph with CHP escort, there were a few of us go pulled over for no front plate or having GPS on the windshield :shakes head:.

oh man, that sounds really bad

Yep. I would get there before 7am to aviod popo. Do not post the time and date on public forum when you want to do the run there.

i am getting pretty discouraged here, ha.

:shakes head:

some even twice.....

As a rule I never go for a quick car or motorcycle ride on any holiday. Cops are out in force, more people are drinking, partying etc. Go early in the morning on a week day if you want to have fun.

ok, i guess maybe I won't go for a drive Monday.

I'm off from fri-mon so pm me if you plan on going for a drive thru there anytime this weekend. I went a few weeks ago with Mark from MarksAutohaus and Super Red Z and it was a good drive. We went thru Osborne to the 14 then back around on Angeles Crest. Either way it would have to be early.

I might be going for a drive this morning thru ACH if I can wake up by 7. If anybody is interested let me know. Pm, reply, text, or call. Cell 9092257612 orlando.

nope, work came up so i was up late last night and have some more work to do today so didn't happen.
