One of Burts favorites, hilly, low traffic, very scenic, a few dirt and gravel spots. Up Alta Vista and Live Oak to the park in Rainbow, followed by a Starbucks stop in Temecula. After the climb up Rancho California get on Sandia to start the "zig zag" by going up the magical La Cruz and dropping into the Cross Creek Golf Club for a break. More beautiful zig zagging and up the Sandia climb and back to Fallbrook. Double back onto Alta Vista because it is so nice and Fallsbrae for the coup de grace.
