I started this thread and completely forgot about it + didn't even notice it got moved to CL of SoCal! Shame...
Thanks for all the helpful posts everyone!
IntegresS - NICE photo of all the cars. How often do you guys hit the road together? I'd be interested in joining sometime.
For a guy like me who has never driven on a technical road, would you still suggest GMR and Angeles Crest? Or ease into it by driving on easier roads first? I've only been on Santiago Canyon (which I thought was boring) and Carbon Canyon, which was more fun than Santiago because of the tight turns

Enjoy the scenery and the ride. These types of meets and convoys are about who you ride with, not just where you ride to.

If you drive slow, which you should anyways with a large crew, you'll be fine with any road. Beware of other cars and motorcycles and, of course, cops.

I often think that I should go to these meets thinking that I should keep with everyone else, which is a flawed mindset. True, enjoying the meet and more importantly, the ride and scenery, is more important.

I'll post in here the next time we set something up-- and I'll be sure to check this thread for other cruise meetups that I can join

I see lots of thumbs ups for Angeles Crest so I'll put that one down for to-hit-up list
In terms of Ortega, I just keep hearing bad things about it, which discourages me from trying it out; e.g. heavy negative press, friend involved in accident there, etc.
I've pretty much "mastered" Santiago Canyon Rd area (along with Modjeska Grade, Live Oak, Silverado). Today was my 3rd or 4th time so a little tired of it but planning on going again this weekend. Well, time to branch out and try new roads too!
