maybe check out the RAAM route?

less elevation gain/ loss -- basically frontage roads San Diego to Escondido to Temecula to Hemet, to Moreno Valley to Palm Springs. You can avoid some of the traffic, some places it's tricky finding the route away from heavy traffic.

A lot more elevation gain/loss -- basically frontage roads San Diego to Escondido to Temecula and then up and over the mountains by way of Anza and down the Palms to Pines hill to Palm Desert/Palm Springs. This is by far the most interesting/trilling/"less traffic" way to go. Either way it's a long, hard way. Depending on your actual start/finish point, closer to 120 +/- miles, a full day plus, depending on your strength. Either way, watch out and be extra alert for crazy, in a hurry drivers.

yes many times! OLD 395 to HWY 79 IN Temecula than make a right (371) towards ANZA and than a RT on 74 (cafe). Its 100 from Encinitas. its a grinder than downhill into ANZA, clib back out than a GREAT last 15 or so STRIGHT DOWN and curvy roads. GO EARLY in the day to avoid idiots as in 1st light leave SD!

**** no there is a barely a shoulder from outside Temecula to Anza but its 'fine:,,, again early is the key

Thank you!

Awesome advice! This seems kind of close to what google offered up.

I will probably leave before dawn and rely on my light while still close enough to home to be on some familiar roads.

If some of these are the roads I’m thinking of then they are single lane for long stretches with pull overs every so often. People get pretty impatient / distracted.

Thanks again!

Ehh. Your right, I’ve been maybe honked at once ,,, there is a store about 200 yards before the left to Anza , creepy place but you should stop, or the ice cream, pull up before that (signs ) cause really only those 2 places from Temecula to Anza, than zero from Anza to the 111. It’s a great ride. You’ll love it
