Palomar is in the Temecula area, and consists of mostly hairpins. The road is well paved, and has no blind crests or blind decreasing radius turns.

It should (and will) be empty due to the day and time we are going.

The bikers out there are probably familiar with Palomar!

The road we're running: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...,0.033345&z=15

Give me a call for more details.

where would the sd guys meet at?? usually we meet in fallbrook.if its the same run that equinox sets up thats pretty ballsy for doing it at night...debating.

 

Sounds like they are just going up/down Palomar a few times. I don't like heading out there at night...too many encounters with animals/trees/other random stuff coming around blind corners! Plus going up/down several times just increases likelihood that someone will call cops on you.

Be safe out there. Don't get busted!

 

yea thats what i kinda thought too, some of those twists were pretty tight in broad daylight. best of luck to you guys.

 

we'll meet the SD guys in temecula.

The slowest turn at palomar can be safely taken at 25+ in a stock G coupe. You Z guys will have it easier

Palomar is not a difficult or dangerous road. The road itself is very wide, with plenty of room for error.

Again, no blind crests, and no blind decreasing radius turns.

This will me the 4th palomar night run; we've been doing them weekly since our um... GMR incident.

 

see the link for the road: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...,0.033345&z=15

Google says 7 minutes.

Yeah, right.

 

Not a fan of night runs either. I'd be interested if you guys had an early morning run with some sunlight.

 

First timer's won't be leading anyways, and we cruise the first time up to check for debris, gravel, etc.

The person in front of you will more than light up the road enough for you; everyone can run with high beams on. The person in front of you only has to turn away their rearview mirror; you shouldn't be looking it it to begin with.

 

Have fun on your run, but you might be surprised that many on here have done plenty of canyon runs, both during the day and at night.

 

I'm aware... I just wanted to invite the Z guys for a bigger group tonight

 

running the canyons at night FTW!!!

did this go down?

i went to malibu this weekend, maybe i can catch one last palomar run too.

 

^^last night...

Casualties from the night:

1 front left fender
1 front left headlight
2 sets of brake pads

 

^ that sucks. lol

 

nothing major... fortunately palomar offers a TON of grip... but riding the brakes around turns can fade ANY brakes no matter how good they are...

 

^ ouch!!

 

what happended to the fender/headlight?

 

they met a barrier...

nothing major fortunately; car is still perfectly driveable.
