Re: [RBW] Re: Post Thanksgiving Cranksgiving Dirt Paradise Ride.
Hey Jon, Yeah cyclotourist has a point Mike's Flickr image's have a series of a bike camping adventure he did the weekend before down into the Anza Borrego. This ride recap was about a coastal day ride around Del Mar. The Anza stuff is great though and has been calling to me for a while now! So a trip to AB is a definite. And yes Julian( apple Pie) and four wheeling in Anza Borrego/Salton Sea back in the 80s.. is awesome and brings good memories to me also. Cheers, ~Hugh “Life is like riding a bicycle.
