It looks as if I'll have to get my century in later this month.

If the temps stay that way I'm wearing tights. Heck, I wear tights into the low 60s sometimes, I get cold and my knees get pissed, even with warmers on.

Isn't Julian at a much higher altitude than Ocotillo??

Did anyone pay for the post ride meal? I'm wondering if I should, considering there's no place to eat around there...

How about here:
La Posta
32337 Old Highway 80, Pine Valley, 619-478-5600. Is the Wild West dead? Not out here. Swagger in past the rocking chairs on the wooden porch, by the "NRA meets here, every 3rd Wednesday, 7 p.m." sign, past bows and arrows, dream catchers, lariats, and brass spittoons, and swing into a chair. Now think vintage American food. Hefty anytime-breakfasts include two eggs, hash browns, biscuits, and coffee or eggs with chicken-fried steak or a bulging veggie omelet. Their sourdough cheeseburger with fries or potato salad is big, or delve into a bowl of chili. Folks hereabouts talk about that chili in low, reverent voices. For dinner, the rib eye steak or pork chops is good enough to make city folks swoon. Three meals daily. Inexpensive
Sounds colorful and it's closer than El Cajon. Never been there so don't blame me if it sucks
