Sounds like you guys had a great time.  Glad to have Alec as a Descender!

The ride to Oceanside was excellent.  We had a large group meet at the 56 bike path corner and head to the coast.  About half the riders were training for the RAC event that starts next week.  A small but hardy contingent went up PCH towards Oceanside:  Guido, Bob, Geoff, Sheehan and me.  Guido and Geoff did most of the point work as we rode quickly  to the harbor.  Sheehan found time to chat with the CA state road racing champ, a strong female rider we met near Oceanside.  We rode even faster back to Via De Valle and up to Santaluz.  Maybe the break at the bike shop in Carlsbad Village helped us rest a bit.  Sheehan had to get a tire replaced and Guido negotiated a new set of wheels; a productive stop.  The total ride to me was 65 miles, more for some others.  The weather was good and the sun came out plenty; great day to be on a bike.

See you next weekend for a new route off our Elfin Forest Loop.
