Sleeping Indian Ride
How about doing a nice hill ride? Start at the Oceanside train station, since that seems to be convenient, then head inland to do Sleeping Indian, and maybe head south to add some more miles in.
I'm thinking March 21 or 22.

I can do it on a Sunday.
There's a loop that starts on the coast, goes up Sleeping Indian, W. Lilac, down Circle R, Champagne, Twin Oaks, San Elijo, Melrose, Palomar Airport Rd, Coast Hwy. It's about 60 miles and 4k vertical.

That route sounds good to me. After checking my calendar, Sunday would work better as well.
Is the route on Bikely?

Only the map is there; the cue sheet is incomplete.

The route has hookers? This is an equal-opportunity ride. Some of them had better be male.

i don't often ride sleeping indian, but it had none of those things when i was there a couple weeks ago. north river road just beyond sleeping indian is scarier imo. i didn't see any hookers or johns either.
i'm interested. all are welcome?

Sounds good. I'll try to make this one instead of getting drunk and passing out in a friend's apartment. Not that that happened.

I have never had a problem with excessive road debris or motorists when I've done Sleeping Indian.
The ride is open for anyone who wants to show up.

I drove out there this morning and there wasn't any debris on the roads until I crossed into Fallbrook. If SI is too tough for you, make the right at Morro Heights.
Here's my suggested route.

Hmm, sounds fun. I've never been up through some of those areas. If it's a Sunday, I'm in. If it's a Saturday, I'm in if I don't have to work.

actually half of sleeping indian is in oceanside and the other half is fallbrook. Once you cross that fallbrook line just keep an eye out there are some crazy kids driving around in a truck throwing rotten fruit at cyclist... Maybe it is just a good idea to stay out of fallbrook it is just not safe... no not safe at all.

Throwing fruit. That's cute. Over here the little ones throw the blocks of cheese they get from WIC. The older ones shoot.

Hmmm... Efficiency, Indolent, Robertkat and Grumpy! All world famous posers in one ride. 
If it is on the 22-nd I might join you. Frank, how long is that suggested route of yours?

Wait. I'm a female and I'm going on this ride. Isn't that enough for you?

Hey, of course having a girl in the group is always an added attraction. GP, thanks for the info. This looks challenging, but I'll give it a try. Especially now that I know we've got a lady in the group.
On another hand, I'm not that "machista" type of guy, but somehow it always hurts more when I have my arse kicked by a girl. 
By the way, don't wait for me, the weekend of 3/21-22 will be extremely busy for me.
