This conversation's is unfolding over on the Flickr group... but I'm working on a Riv Ride route for Sunday morning of the SD Custom Show.
Velo Cult is hosting the SDCBS after party at 7pm on Sunday. It will likely be quite crowded. It also might be too late for some folks needing to get back home for work on Monday. So, we'll still do something that will include a bit of dirt and some nice views and beer and a daytime stop at Velo Cult (its on 30th St. along with a slew of brewpubs - the "Brewlevard"). I rode Penasquitos Preserve on Sunday to see how it might be -- perhaps a bit too sandy and rocky with all the rain... but if we took it slow, it might be fun. There are other options I'm exploring (Florida canyon? Mt. Soledad?). Think: meet, ride for 2 or 3 hours, get lunch/beer, go to the show. Or... quick lunch after the ride (taqueria), see the show, then get an afternoon beer up on 30th St. There will be options... but for sure, there'll be a little Rivvy event on Sunday.
