We are going back to Laguna Mountain!!! This is one of the Club’s favorite rides as we had more riders join us for this ride last year than any other ride. Don’t miss out on this fantastic, diverse and fun time. We will be riding sweepers and twisties in the mountains, from sea level in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park to almost 6,000 feet on Mt. Laguna….. just about every riding condition you can imagine through some spectacular scenery.
Another nice thing about the Laguna Mountain ride is that you can invite your significant other to join us as it is only about a 2-2 ½ hour drive from Orange County. If we get enough significant others joining us we will set-up a casual hike on Saturday morning and shopping in Julian in the afternoon. There are some beautiful trails in the area. We hope to set-up a car-pool for the significant others if there is interest.
As usual we will be staying at the very rustic Laguna Mountain Lodge which has an assortment of accommodations from hotel rooms to 1, 2 & 3 bedroom cabins. To make your reservation you must call the Laguna Mountain Lodge – 619-473-8533. I suggest you go to their website and look at the accommodations before you call. It has pictures of the rooms and cabins.
Camping will be right across the highway at Burnt Rancheria Campground.
- Motel Rooms – $115.00 per night + tax
- One Bedroom Cabin – $130.00 per night + tax
- 2 Bedroom Cabins – $150.00 to $185.00 per night + tax
- 3 Bedroom Cabin – $230.00 per night + tax
You will be asked to send a check to pay for your accommodations. They do not accept any credit cards. Please make sure the last name on your check is the same as the reservation name so they can match it up.

We are less than 3 weeks away from the Laguna Mountain Weekend Ride. Don’t miss the diverse riding conditions, from the Palms to Pines Hwy to the Anza Borrego Desert to 6,000′ Mount Laguna. Great scenery and a lot of fun roads. A great inexpensive weekend as the rooms are only $115.00 per night and we also have campsites just 1/4 mile from the Mt Laguna Lodge.

Less than 2 weeks to go to the Laguna Mountain Weekend Get-a-Way. We have a great ride planned for you with plenty of awesome roads through very diverse terrain…from 6,000′ mountains to the Anza Borrego Desert to riding along the Mexican Border.
Two Meet-up Locations: listed in original post at top of this page with locations and times. The OC Group will pick-up the Murrietta Group on the way.
We will be taking a casual 239 mile ride (from OC meet-up) with stops in Idyllwild, Paradise Cafe for lunch and the Montezuma Valley Lookout over the Anza Borrego Desert. We will have a gas stop just after lunch at the Cahuilla Casino.
I will be posting the Route Map for Friday and Saturday rides in the next few days. I will also post a Sunday optional route map if anyone wants to ride Palomar Mountain on the ride home after breakfast in Julian. We will be going up the East Grade and down the South Grade.
If you have not signed up on the Web Page please do so soon so we have an accurate count for the ride. Don’t miss out on this great ride!!

It’s almost time to head out for the Laguna Mountain Ride so I wanted to give everyone a heads up on the weather. It is going to be as diverse as the routes we are taking. It will be cool in the evenings walking to dinner or sitting outside with magnificent views of the stars at 6,000 ft and in the mornings when we head out from the Laguna Mountain Lodge – mid 60s – so bring something to keep you warm on and off the bike. At the other end of the spectrum, it is going to be around 100 degrees for the short time we are in the Anza Borrego Desert on Friday and when heading north on the Great Southern Overland Stage Route on Saturday afternoon. Make sure you bring your Cooling Vest!!!
It will be in the high 70s and mid-80s for our Saturday ride along the Mexico border area around Jamul and Campo.
See you Friday!!!
