I was down in Temecual with Markaj and our spouses at a friends house...
We did hook with Janb for 2 great rides Sat and Sunday
Had to leave at 7 to try to beat the heat both days.
Sat she took up thru Rainbow Cyn and then Rice Cyn...some nice shady areas in Rice....then we did the climb up Couser Cyn...thats a really nice climb..a bit tough, and it was getting hot...the occasional shade felt real good....at the top we decided to skip the ride up Lilac and 395, since it was more exposed to the sun...so we heading down Couser then up Rice...(it was much better going the other way)....then up Rainbow Cyn...
When we started down the Temecula side, we really got hit with the heat...so it was good we didnt add any extra milage...

Sunday, we met Janb again, this time was a little bit easier ride thru the Temecula wine country...we saw some really nice scenery...hot air balloons...vineyards....totally awesome...

Both days we pretty much beat the heat, then sat around our friends pool and enjoyed some cold margaritas!!

Thanks again Jan for the great rides!!!

There is some really great riding down there....nice roads, low traffic...very rural...a bit hilly buts that cools...even tho I think those who live there think its pretty flat...its not!!

Markaj, JanB, Herbm
