Sunday Edition of the LA Times (California section 01-13-2013) featured an article about the Old Ridge Route that parallels Interstate 5 (Hwy 99) from Castaic Lake to Fort Tejon, closed to automobile traffic.  Perfect opportunity for a ride in Angeles Crest.

36 miles from the start of Old Ridge Road to the Chevron Station at Gorman.  From Gorman to Bakersfield (about 48 miles) is tricky business; not much paved road until you hit the valley floor.

Old Ridge Road starts at Parker Road off  Interstate 5 near Castaic Lake.

Who’s in for the adventure??
