Ortega Highway (AKA "The Awesome 74 to Lake Elsinor") - By Guest

Ridden this road a couple times and it's a very nice jaunt between the 15 and the 5 on your way to San Diego. A lot of fun to ride, good curves, and if you catch it in the middle of the week, car traffic will be light. A little on the Short side though. Don't get me wrong, the road is a lot of fun and the Lookout cafe overlooking Lake Elsinore is not be missed. It just seems that once you really get into it, it ends. Good for an afternoon but not a day trip.
