Dear Pashnite, the 1999-era California Motorcycle Roads you have used for the last 20 years to plan your rides still exists on the Internet Archive, but that site has been retired.

Over two decades later, it's time to rebuild. A lot of work will go into building a site like this from scratch. It will take time. Thousands of hours, years actually. I think only a crazy person would attempt a project like this. Which is why there is no equal. The original CMR had 300 webpages of roads, 600 pages of text, thousands of photos, tens of thousands of links and was made up of 241,148 files. I would like to double that. It will take time to rebuild this site. I appreciate your support over the last 20+ years. Hundreds more road pages are coming. -Tim
