Geez, sorry. I may have come off like a dick. I.ll throw you a bigger bone here.
San Diego north county has some of the finest riding and racers in the country. Like world class people and terrain. It is not an accident pro teams go there to train.
You are in the heart of it. Take advantage.
Google swamis ride. It is on right now. They do a Sunday version too. SDBC has a ride as well, but not as cool. There is also a Thursday, I think, tri ride that goes through Pendleton to OC.
You want to see what the San Diego bike scene is about? Hit those rides. It is no joke.
I live in PDX as well and I can tell you that Portland fast does not equal SanDiego fast.
Enjoy. You have a great opportunity.
See you up here... Cheers!!!!
