Hi Ken, Check if this route from Banning to PS suits you: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/27498
Basically, it's frontage road (Johnson, Main, Railroad) out to the last on/offramp (Verbenia) before entering the desert. At Verbenia, you'd need to get onto I-10 for about 1000' as you get on Hwy 111. I can't tell you about the condition of the frontage roads as I've not traveled them. Since you'd be riding through tribal land, I think it'd best to plan this section of the ride well and be aware of alternative routing. You can create some great "in-town" routes that allow you to travel between the desert communities but will not feel "urban" at all. There's also ample open road, especially south & east of La Quinta and in the vicinity of (and north of) I-10. Lots of possibilities, especially once you leave the immediate Palm Springs/Cathedral City area. I live in the desert and am certainly interested in any rides that the SoCal group anticipates in the future. -Eric P.S. Ken, you must be one ambitious rider if you're considering taking 243!
