Some 2X WC and Hall of fame riders on the same route.
Here are some great people, great contributors riding with kid.
There are still super secret routes in SoCal few ride and should not be ridden alone (unless you are good with big cats).

the cover photo on that video looks familiar.
i rode up 74, down to lake elsinore, up and around elsinore peak (i think) and across some FS roads/broken pavement/remote stuff... then back down 74. I was Ok with it, but traffic on 74 was pretty heavy at times -- even when I was going pretty fast downhill on twisty roads some cars were... impatient.
was ~ 100 miles. 90+ degrees. Definitely had less supplies than I'd like but that's OK.

*I* was fine with it--thought it was a great solo ride, and the remote terrain was cool (little unnerving as I had a need to get back by a specific time and once on the FS roads it wasn't super clear that I was heading the right way).
other people i spoke with thought it was insane to ride 74. *shrug* that part probably should have a caveat so people know what they're getting into.
once again--thank you for the suggestion!
