Descenders Ride Report-Monday, 5 Sep

Hi Guys,

We had another large group ride this morning.  Guido and I cruised over to meet Voris and Hodges before heading to the corner of Pomerado and RB.  We had about a dozen guys in total.  We met up with Ernst, Sheehan, Cresap, Dan, Bob R and his two buddies.  The group headed along Pomerado and over I-15 to the pedestrian bridge and back toward Via Rancho Parkway, then headed west.  We looped around Felicita Park until we got back to Lake Dr.  The descent down along Lake Hodges was stunning with the lake filled to the top.  We climbed back to Del Dios Highway and cruised at a good pace towards Rancho Sante Fe.  Regrouping before heading toward San Dieguito Road, we passed a burning car on El Apajo, and then climbed up to Santaluz.  The hill climb around Santaluz was fast as was the descent back to the south gate.  The group split at Carmel Valley Road with some guys continuing onto the 56 bike path while others headed back towards RB.  I peeled off the bike path with a total of 41 miles and got to my house before the rain started to fall.  It was a spirited ride and lots of fun, good way to end the long weekend.  Here are a few photos.
