It was a good day. left around 7:30, home at 1:00. That Clinton Keith Road is pretty sketchy. narrow like GMR, lots of blind corners, the road surface was terrible, and in a couple spots very steep grades (12-15% I'd wager). Very pretty though, cuts through a bunch of orchards in the hills. I'd never been up there before but I think I might have to try it again.

I often ride from the Temecula area to Fallbrook via Clinton Keith, Tenaja/Volcano, Carancho, DeLuz Rd. Its really nice country, lots of Avocado orchards. As you said, the roads are kinda dirty, and there are also some water crossings with that slippery green stuff, but it can still be fun if you take it easy. DeLuz road is especially nice.

I figured the start/end points on the map would've indicated my location pretty well, but OK.
not sure what it matters, but just for you BD, I updated my whole profile so you can e-stalk me with confidence. :)
And yes, Ivan, I completely agree. I saw the water crossings but they were all dry and clean yesterday. Not knowing the road and being alone, I took it very easy. The good part was that except for when I stopped for pictures, I didn't see hardly any cars through that stretch. Lot of cars on S16 and 76 though, but I expected that.
