Hi everyone.
Sorry for the delay in getting the specifics out to you regarding this Sunday's SDTC ride, but I wanted to get a good guess on the weather before selecting a route.
Sarah and I are going to lead a 30 to 35-ish-mile excursion that takes in Fairbanks Ranch, then continues north to loop through Rancho Santa Fe and head out to the coast for a cruise back to the start. We're planning to avoid long, difficult hills (final route is still being firmed up, which tells you what I'll be doing Saturday). The scenery and company will more than make up for any exertion, we promise, and it won't be brutal, in any case. We want to START AT 8:30 AM to beat the heat, and return to the ride start before noon so we can make the most of the coming summer days.
We will be coalescing again at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center to begin this latest adventure. Anyone who's interested and/or hungry can join us afterward for a great (cheap) Greek/Persian lunch at Alborz, in the Del Mar Heights Shopping Center, but Sarah and I need to be home again before 2PM so let's stay organized.
Where: Carmel Valley Recreation Center at Townsgate and El Camino Real
When: 8:15 for an 8:30 start (that's right, 8:30 instead of the usual 9:00 AM)
Directions: From I-5, exit at Del Mar Heights and head east half a mile to El Camino Real. Turn right on El Camino Real and left on Townsgate (it's the second light, just after the Del Mar Highlands shopping center). Turn right into the recreation center's parking lot, partway up the hill. (If you get to the library, on the same side of the street, you've gone too far. If you park in the lot at the bottom of the hill, where there is no building visible, you haven't gone far enough.) We'll gather by the large, colorful jungle gym.
We hope to see lots of you there. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous, and this is still a great time of year to enjoy RSF and environs with plenty of flowering plants (the citrus groves smell wonderful and the pine smell is just beginning to come out). The return via the coast will insure we avoid any late morning heat, and is early enough to beat the crowds.
