Hey ladies!

We're going to try the Camp Pendleton ride again this Sunday, March
2nd. Weather says it'll be partly cloudy in the a.m., but clearing
and sunny, Highs between 61 and 66. Dress warmly with layers to peel
off!!

LOCATION: Oceanside Harbor Overflow Parking Lot (free to park)
DATE: Sunday, February 24, 2008
TIME: 7:45 a.m.
BRING: Besides your bike stuff and optional $ for farmer's market, you
must have your DRIVER'S LICENSE.
MILEAGE: 20 to 50 miles (depends on the two groups)
CONTACT INFO: Denise H. 619-459-5239; Randa M. 760-505-0101; or Rhonda
D. 760-604-7663

DETAILS: This is a great ride with gorgeous views and lightly traveled
roads. We will start from Oceanside Harbor overflow (free) parking
lot, meeting at the Harbor by 7:45 for an 8 a.m. roll-out. We will
all start together with two different pace groups (10 to 15 mph; 15 to
20 mph), and will ride until each group wants to turn back. As always,
no one will be left behind.

THE ROUTE: This route will take you through Camp Pendleton (10 miles
one-way from front to back gate), so you MUST BRING YOUR DRIVER'S
LICENSE to get onto the base. This section of the route includes some
moderate hill climbs (not easy, but not Torrey Pines scary). As we
exit through the Camp Pendleton back-gate and up the hill, we will
take a break in the Las Pulgas Park n' Ride parking lot and see who
would like to turn back at this point, who needs a "lift" back (we'll
have a truck there), and who wants to ride further towards San
Clemente. If you choose to ride further, you can expect small hills
and more gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean as we ride through the
San Clemente State Beach parking lots. We can stop again at the
campground entrance (8 miles from Las Pulgas Park n' Ride) to see who
wants to turn around or continue toward San Clemente Sunday Farmer's
Market where the route has more moderate hills through the residential
neighborhood (fun hills because you get a "running" start!).

DIRECTIONS: To get to Oceanside Harbor Parking Lot, take Interstate 5
north to Oceanside Harbor Drive. Exit heading west. Turn left on
Carmelo Drive (before Del Taco). The street will wrap around and down
into a large parking lot.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us! We hope to see a lot
of you there!
