Escondido start: We could start at a supermarket on E. Valley Parkway. This would be just west of where we would normally turn onto E.V.P from Bear Valley Parkway. This will be a minor/easy change to the route. I estimate that this would put us one hour behind.
I think the Palomar store opens at 10 on weekends, maybe 11. We don't need the store unless someone needs food. There is the well water 1/2 mile before the store (turned off on 11/15 but I'll check it before the ride) and a hose bibb behind the store. We'll be mostly descending until the Lake Henshaw store.
I suggest we stick to the original Harrah's start and decide on Wohlford Rd. later. At least until I drive out Valley Center Rd.

I think we can all hold out til the store at Henshaw plus it's cheaper then the one on top.

Just finished printing the original routeslip and typing a new one with the Harrah's start. I'll get the mileage tomorrow.
Anybody had a problem with water on the ride? I (partially accidently) rode Highland Valley Rd/Bandy Cyn/Hwy 78 last week and ran out of water. The first store I saw wasn't until I almost joined up with E. Valley Parkway.

We've never had trouble with water on this ride, but we've also always had roaming SAG and a water stop at the end of Bandy Canyon. My suggestion regarding water is as follows:
Top off at Arco gas station in Ramona. More convenient than Circle K on original route slip since it's on the correct side of the street and it's at the intersection where we have to turn anyway. One should be able to make it to Escondido on two bottles in winter. After getting on Citrus, there is a gas station (not sure offhand what brand... one of the major brands) on the left side a little bit later. That makes for a decent location for a final stop before heading out to Lake Wohlford.

Of course if it rains you can just open your mouth.

I guess I'll decide the day(s) before the ride based on the weather forecast.

Rain will cancel the ride.
The light rain we had last night put enough snow on the ground that I turned around 2 miles from the Palomar store.

Okay, that's it. If it's raining, I'm going to go as far as I can safely go and then take a pic.

I think I can safely go farther on a bike. My car has summer tires on it right now, so any snow/ice would be a serious problem.

Sorry, but I'm out.
/now, though, I can blame it on snow. I'm out because of the snow.
