3 Best Inland Empire Motorcycle Rides

Residents of Southern California are fortunate for many reasons. A temperate climate, fantastic beaches and spectacularly scenic roads provide ample opportunities for weekend getaways and long road trips. For avid bike owners, the Inland Empire is heaven. Whether you live in Riverside or San Bernardino County, the area is flush with amazing motorcycle rides that meander to the mountains, along the coastline and into the arid desert plains.

For those looking for a scenic weekend bike trip, here are three of the best Inland Empire motorcycle rides.

Big Bear Lake

Big Bear is a famous destination for skiing and snowboarding, but the area has much more to offer than just winter sports. Enjoy the fresh pine scent and beautiful mountain vistas on a journey to this nature-lovers’ hotspot. If you’re heading out from San Bernardino and prefer a longer but much more scenic route, we suggest taking highway 330 to the 18. You’ll go by Snow Valley Ski Resort and a couple of picture-worthy peaks en route. While the trip clocks in at 41 miles, allow yourself close to two hours to reach Big Bear lake. The switchback roads will slow you down, but the landscapes make this jaunt well-worth the effort. Stop into Chad’s Place for a bite to eat – a local favorite.

Idyllwild Forests

Idyllwild is tucked in the Jacinto Mountains and is renowned for its hiking, mountain biking and camping opportunities. If you’re eager to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, and gaze upon towering pines and giant cedars, this road trip is just for you. Take highway 10 East from Riverside until you reach the 234. Continue south on the winding road, taking care on those tight turns. The trip is just under 60 miles from San Bernardino (roughly an hour and 15 minutes on the bike) and makes for an easy half-day trip. Idyllwild still charms visitors with its cozy hometown atmosphere and has a nice selection of dining options. Check out Café Aroma, the Red Kettle or Jo’ans Restaurant & Bar. All good choices for a relaxing lunch.

Desert ride to Palm Springs

This desert resort city in Riverside County is praised for its spas, hot springs and championship golf. But veteran bikers know Palm Springs also makes for a fun desert road trip. Take the 10 East and make a loop around Palm Springs by taking highway 111. This picturesque route will pass by Palm Desert and Cathedral City, where you’ll find the Living Desert and Zoo, among other cool attractions.  A bit farther on and you’ll reach Indio, CA home to the Fantasy Springs Casino. This motorcycle ride should take you about 90 minutes one-way from Riverside.
