Joy Ride

I need to put some more miles on my M3 so I can get my 1,200 service done. I'm planning to take off 2-hours early from work and go for a Joy Ride.

Any recommendations on a fun 3-hours drive I can do? (Starting around Irvine and ending up back here before 6pm)

Only request is well maintained roads. I don't have my clear bra on my hood yet so I'd like to avoid roads that have a lot of debris and rocks.

Thanks!

I'm waiting for my clear bra tech to recover from ankle surgery. Should get my full hood and front fenders done sometime next week.

+1 ortega highway is a fun twisty road!

I drove my car from Santa Ana to Valencia and took the long way back added about 300+ miles by the end of the day. Still have about 400 miles to go till I reach the gold mine!

not to scare you, but I had 2 rock chips on my car at 700 miles before I got the clear bra on. One of the chips was large enough that I had to get touch up paint to patch it. Get the Bra!

What a gentlemanly offer! I'll find a way to hit 1,200 miles before years end. I've been looking up fun roads in So-Cal and can't wait to hit them up this weekend.
