Hawkins 237 Posted November 10, 2022 @J5ive and I are in need of a little wind therapy, and @MitchpulscherADV is already on the maybe list. We're all off work on Friday and @Angela is going to helm the S.S. TooManyKids so that I can add some miles to the odometer. Actually I am trying to get a sitter so she can ride too! The starting point is my house in San Marcos, CA and the destination is Señor Grubby's in Carlsbad. The food there is *chef's kiss* and they have a good beer selection. The route is purposefully circuitous thanks to my attempt to make use of some of the nicer side roads that I've found in the area as well as ample time along the oceanfront. The route is open to input. What should we add/omit? Ride Time: approx 2.5 hoursRide Type: 100% paved road, backroads and good views, easy paceSkill / Equipment Level: Open to all road riders and all bike typesArrive: After 7:00 am, coffee will be readyDepart: kickstands up at 8:30 amOrigin: 320 Crownview Court, San Marcos, CA 92069Destination: 377 Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad, CA 92008Route: https://goo.gl/maps/Yrd82S3PZt9fYoqN9 POI's: Double Peak Park, Olivenhain Dam, Elfin Forrest, Lake Hodges Dam, Torrey Pines State Beach, Highway 101, South Ponto Beach, Tamarack State Beach Jetty We might run into gates blocking the way to the dam, but I am not sure as I've not been that way before. I will likely make a GPX file for myself once input is received from the community. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J5ive 92 Posted November 12, 2022 Had a great day today...good getting out and meeting a couple of new people. We must have looked like a eclectic group of bikes going down the road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

350thumper 336 Posted November 12, 2022 So it was a bunch of mixed up bikes going down the street? That's cool. I like seeing that.. It means that a group of people with different styles and lives came together over something common and are enjoying each other even though they wouldn't normally be hanging together. All over motorcycle riding . That's cool. I'd like to see the pics. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkins 237 Posted November 12, 2022 It was a motley crew indeed. Ages 18 to *mumblemumble* (let’s just leave it at older) riding bikes ranging from a KTM dual sport to an Africa Twin to a sun-rotted rat bike brought back from the dead with spare parts from a obgyn table (true story). We had a blast. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
