RESCHEDULED FOR SUN SEPT 23 DUE TO WEATHER

If anyone is interested, a couple of my friends and I are doing an Amtrak ride on Saturday. Plan is to meet and take the 6:46a train from Solana Beach up to Anaheim and ride back. If we take SART to the coast highway, distance is about 80 mi. There is also a possibility we may instead cut over through Santiago Canyon and out through Mission Viejo and San Juan Capistrano before hitting the coast, which would make it app 85 miles.

I would say around 15, maybe a bit faster. My tri friend M is getting stronger, but still not that fast.

A total of six of us, all connected with TCSD, met at Solana Beach and caught the 6:46 train up to Anaheim Sunday morning for the 80 mile ride back down the coast. It was a beautiful day for a ride! The air was SO clear you could see for miles along the coast. I only got a few pictures as my camera battery died just before Laguna Beach :(
