We rode EF this morning heading to Via Rancho, Mary Ln, Bandy Cyn, RB and RSF. My back was killing me so I bailed back to the coast when everyone else headed up Del Dios.
Double Peak is steep but it has a nice view. The first time I rode up it, a coworker was running up it. He lives near melrose and runs up the hill everyday.

I am so jealous. The Ramona-Palomar Mtn-Ramona or the Santa Ysabel-Borrego loop are nice rides as well. You can stop at the Julian Pie Company and grab a slice of mid-ride (or post ride) pie. Those rides both have some serious climbs.

I would love to do something like that, but those roads are so narrow and twisty. Always some dude on a motorcycle killing himself out there. Lots of traffic on the 78 heading out to Ramona with sheer cliffs and switchbacks.

Yeah, I hear you. I road it 13 years ago when I was on Spring break as an undergrad. It wasn't too busy because we road it in the morning during the week. It was pretty nice starting at 80 deg (F) in Ramona and seeing snow at the top of Palomar.

I received an email since I'm on Swami's that Peter Sagan and I think his brother too will be riding with Swami's on the Saturday ride and will be doing a press thing afterwards with signings n stuff.

I am going to check that ride out. Seems like fun. However, I heard that the Swami group rides are not for novices. So if you havent been training, it will be a hard ride to keep up. But I will have to try it out since a Pro is coming out to ride! =D
