Hey guys.....my 02cents. I just did Palomar and 94 east recently. Palomar had a LOT of ice and debris and sand. I don't recommend it this time of year.
I ride a Ducati too and get a lot or road condition updates from the bike guys.
Out to Borrego Springs or 94 out to Potrero is a good route....there is a good coffee/restaurant stop along the way.
Let me know what you guys think and check out my thread for recent pics of my trip:
