Ride To Julian, CA

March 31, 2018 – What a fantastic ride!  As we rolled through the green hills of San Diego County, I remember asking myself “can this really be Southern California?”  Today’s riders included Pat (our guide), Rick, Con, Dave, Rob and Dale.  Today was too long of a ride for Donovan, but we all missed him.  We met at Tom’s Farms off I-15 at 8:00 for a pretty darn good breakfast, and then ran down the left lane of the 15 to Hwy 79 East in Temecula.  From there, it was beautiful!  The weather was perfect, and most of us yak’ed on the intercom about the sights, politics and bikes as we navigated the long, sweeping turns through the hills.  After another hour or so, we pulled into the quaint little town of Julian, already smelling the apple pies. Guess what we had for lunch??  After walking around a little and planning our next rides, we reluctantly thundered up our bikes and began the journey home.  By that time of day, the 15 freeway was a Jerry Brown nightmare, but we all made it home safely after another “Great Ride with Great Friends”!
