Road Scenery: 
|
|
This
is a stretch of highway running between the city of San
Diego and along the US/Mexican border. There were some incredible
fires here recently which makes for a stark, yet eerily
beautiful and surreal landscape. There are creek beds,
and then some nice canyon-like sections with steep drop
offs ala the mountains. Something for everyone.

Road Quality: 
|
Most
of this road is in good to great shape with portions of
it being brand new. You may encounter highway construction
delays as they continue to improve this stretch, but it's
rare, and the delay is never more than 2-5 minutes. Most
of this road is not just well paved, but groomed, and
graded with lots of sloping, positive camber turns, as
well as nice open stretches to throttle out. It's deep
southern location, and parallel Interstate 8 make for
very light traffic and free riding most of the time.
Early mornings are particularly sweet, with gorgeous
sunrises and crisp mountain-like air. The highway
runs from city of San Diego east along the border until
it connect with Interstate 8 in Jacumba. Worth the trip!

Roadside Amenities: 
|
|
Don't
come down here to shop. But there are a bunch of great places
to stop and eat on this road. In particular The Dulzura
Cafe, The Portrero General Store and Cafe (my fave!), The
Campo Diner, and Salsa Linda in Jacumba/Boulevard.

Written directions:
Start
in or near Spring Valley, CA and take Route
94 (Campo Road) west-southwest and just
follow the road as far as you like or until
it hits Interstate 8 (about 50 miles). Have
fun.
Note:
On the way you may want to take a nice
detour off of Route 94 to Otay Reservior.
If you do, just keep an eye out for Otay
Lakes Rd at about the 10 mile point (see
the map above). Take a right turn on to
Otay Lakes Road and it's a nice little 9
mile run to the reservoir where you can
take a break. I usually run along the lakeside
and then turn around, come back to 94/Campo
Road, and then continue EAST on 94.
