Mission Bay to La Jolla
Great ride this morning from Mission Bay, around Fiesta Island, up to La Jolla,
and back. We used little-known bike paths that allow you to stay off major roads
but still maintain a direct route.

Our route: http://www.mapmyride.com/view_route?r=307124089003012997

It was a cool, foggy, chilly morning in San Diego as we met for a road ride from
Mission Bay. In our pre-ride announcements, I took the opportunity to spread
some of the word handed down from the Breast Cancer Fund, and mentioned the
potential harmful effects of some sunscreens that contain parabens. We often
don't think about the chemicals we put into our bodies via lotions, but
transdermal absorption is very concentrated and should never be overlooked. To
see whether the sunscreen you use is potentially harmful, go to
cosmeticdatabase.com and enter the type you use. You'll be surprised.

Announcements out of the way, we made our way around Fiesta Island, a
low-traffic area that affords cyclists and joggers a beautiful view of Mission
Bay. Exiting the island, we headed north on Mission Bay Drive dodging the
numerous joggers that seemed to be out in force! We must have seen 300 joggers
throughout the course of the ride. It was great to see so many people getting
outside to play.

At the northernmost point of Mission Bay, the cleverly hidden Rose Canyon Bike
path exits the road and skirts the marshy inlet that leads to Pacific Beach. We
followed the bike path to the end, crossed under I-5, the continued north on
Santa Fe Street which dead ends at the bottom of the 52 Bike Path (right at
CA-52). Closed to vehicular traffic, the 52 Bike Path takes you from the
northern end of Mission Bay Drive all the way up to La Jolla/UTC, where you can
then access roads that will take you to UCSD. We went up to the UC Cyclery Bike
Shop to pop in and take a look around, then headed back to Fiesta Island.

Before leaving the bike shop, we took a minute to talk about proper shifting,
making sure everyone understood the term "cross-chaining," and the importance of
keeping low gears up front with low gears in the rear and high gears up front
with high gears in the rear. It's a simple thing to do, but if no one has ever
explained it to you, you figure that clicking noise coming from your front
derailleur is just the way the bike is. At least, I did before it was explained
to me.

On the way back, we had to go up a curb to access the bike path from the road.
Most cyclists dismount and carry their bikes up the curb, then carry their bikes
down the steps to the bike path, as the ramp is very steep and turns sharply.
The first time I took this ride, I rode with three guys who all popped their
front wheel up the curb and then rode down the ramp. I made a point to learn how
to do it for the next time, and was soon popping my front wheel up curbs without
thinking about it. Today I did this, hoping the other girls would either follow
or say, like I did, "Hey! Are you allowed to do that?! Show me!" Sure enough,
Rebecca was intrepid enough to ride down the steep ramp, looking through the
turn and making the corner without issue. Triumph! As a bonus, when we returned
to the parking lot she wanted to learn to pop her front wheel up the curb. Cool!
A convert. Bwahahahaa!

It was a great ride at a social pace that was fun for our girls who had not been
on the bike for a while, as well as provide some new challenges for our seasoned
riders. No matter what ride you're on, there's always a skill you can practice
or learn.

-Laura D.

This is a friend of mine from Temecula - a few of us had a chance to ride with
her at Vail Lake, she is an amazing athlete and a very patient 'teacher' on a
MTN bike! I urge you to ride with her if you can......unfortunately I will be
out of town for this one!!  Feel free to contact her directly at the number
below or at sunydays22@...  or you can reply to me

Hi Ladies!

I hope you have all been enjoying the remarkable weather outdoors lately!
I wanted to get together for another ride on Saturday May 23rd at a place called
Daley Ranch in Escondido.
I realize that is Memorial Weekend, so I'm sure many of you have plans, but for
the ladies that will be in town....come join us!

I was thinking that 10:00 am would be a good meeting time.

Now, for the ladies in the Temecula & Murrieta areas we can all meet at a
central location and you can follow me to Daley Ranch if you would like to! Just
let me know.

Daley ranch is a great place to ride, for the most part we will be riding on
wide, non-technical fire roads. There will be small sections of single track
(narrow dirt trails) with rocks that we can just roll over or walk over,
whatever you are comfortable with.
There is usually an abundance of hikers whom we will need to be considerate of,
sometimes horseback riders as well.

Daley ranch has hills! Although the dirt paths are not very technical, there are
hills to climb. Nothing too steep, more like a gradual incline, but your legs
will certainly feel the burn (in a good way), and we will take our time climbing
them!
No one gets left behind on these rides! We are there to have fun and enjoy the
day. This is considered a beginners paced ride!

Now that being said, if there are stronger riders that would like to break away
and ride at a faster pace then by all means please do! Enjoy your ride and your
day! Thats what it's all about!

The plan is to take it easy, get more familiar with our bikes, get a good
workout, enjoying nature and each others company.

It will probably be warm so bring ample water. If we start to run low there are
drinking fountains to fill up at next to the old ranch house.

The ride time is dependent on our group of ladies. Normally they can last
anywhere between 2-3 hrs @ a nice easy pace, with as many stops for water and
resting as anyone may need!

I have attached a map of the Daley Ranch trail system, just so you could take a
look @ it.
And the physical address is below.

Please feel free to call or email me with any questions, comments, or concerns!

Until then...HAPPY RIDING LADIES!!!
