How about the Tour de Sugar Shorts ride that Brandy and Tiff led last year on July 30? That was a ride that for the most part people seemed to enjoy. It's located in a relatively convenient location for much of the SoCal forumites, it stays relatively close to the coast so it shouldn't get too crazy hot, and it has nice varied terrain while being accessible to a large cross section of the forum. We'd have to dig up a route slip though... maybe Brandy or Tiff could provide one if no one has one still around.

I think that's the last ride I ever did on my Roubaix. I picked up Vivian the following Wednesday.
