The early 1970's... '70-'71 I think. My father and I got stopped by a police officer one morning on our way to the now legendary Honda Valley from my Grandmother's house in Hesperia CA(where we kept and) on our dirt bikes(we lived in Victorville).
After we were cited...my dad asked the officer if we could go home in a "roundabout sort of way". We then proceeded to go on our usual four hour ride passed Hesperia dump through Honda Valley ...crossing the CA aqueduct just prior to it being paved, all the way to Cajon Pass overlooking San Bernardino.
That ridge route from Hesperia to the Cajon Pass was a 5-10 mile series of hill climbs that I got thumbs up from European and Husqvarna pro's for mastering when I was only in the sixth grade. The next year I heard Yes and Roundabout...it has always reminded me of that day.
