April 1st General Meeting, Ride Planning Meeting, Day Ride

[Eric Wolf]

Hi South Coasters,

Our General Meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m., Saturday April 1st, at Irv Seavers’.  Following that, Pete R. will lead a ride to Fallbrook for lunch at Firehouse Que and Brew!  Watch this link for more info on the ride.

Before the GM, starting at 8:00, the Board of Directors will do our annual ride planning; choosing the destinations for our weekend rides one year out.  We want to hear from you.  Where do you want to go?  What did you like about this year and what have we missed.  You are welcome to join that meeting and offer suggestions.  If you can’t make the meeting, please email any board member with your ideas.

After the General Meeting we will be riding to lunch at Firehouse Que & Brew in Fallbrook. Our route there will take us over the Ortega Hwy to Grand Ave., then east to Clinton Keith Rd., and then south through the hills for a scenic ride to Fallbrook via Deluz.

Firehouse Que & Brew features a delicious menu of slow-smoked treats including ribs, brisket, tri tip and chicken (plates & sandwiches) and for dessert they have peach cobbler and bread pudding that you really should save a little room in your stomach for. I have reserved tables in their large, covered, heated, outdoor dining area.

After lunch, the ride I’ll be leading will continue to Oceanside via some picturesque back roads and back to the OC via I-5. Those of you who live in Riverside or North Orange Counties can also head home via I-15 or even back over Ortega Hwy if you’d like.

• KSU will be 10:30 AM from Irv Seaver’s.
• There will be a brief bathroom stop at the Firefighter Memorial on Ortega Hwy.
• Arrival at Firehouse Que & Brew will be aprox. 1:30 PM.
• Distance from Irv Seaver’s to Firehouse Que & Brew is 96 miles.
• There will be a gas stop in Fallbrook right after lunch (Shell or Arco).

Ok, I found a minor flaw in the other GPX file I posted, so here’s a new one. The old one won’t get you lost, but use this new one if you can.

Hi All,

Thanks for the heads up.  I just talked to Pete and he is working on an alternative route.  See you manana.

[Bill Allen]

Pete – I’ll meet you in Fallbrook. 9am at Seaver’s is too early for me.

NEW GPX FILE!

Being as Orega Hwy will be closed today we will basically be doing the original route backwards meaning we will head to Fallbrook via the coast. After lunch we will gas up in Fallbrook and head home via De Luz. The GPS route ends at Clinton Keith rd and I-15 where everyone can head home via their route of choice. I will be heading back to the OC via I-15 to the 91 to the 55.

Pete I’m sure you know this but if it rains before the April 1 ride on De Luz the many water crossings can get slippery with moss. Riding on Carancho & Sandia Creek are just as much fun without the worry of water crossings and slipping. Just a thought…..
