Hello fellow Rivendell riders! You're invited to a no-host, self-sufficient ride up northern San Diego's awesome Mt. Palomar via Nate Harrison Grade, a dirt road which is a lovely alternate to the overly popular paved roads. (We will return downhilll via the pavement, however.) Extraordinary views are to be had along the way, and especially from the tippy-top at the Boucher Fire Lookout. Thereafter we'll also enjoy a stop at Mother's Cafe, near the summit. I'll be riding my Rivendell All-Rounder, the first ever built for, and sold to, a non-Rivendell employee, back in 1995 when such a frame was just $850. Photos of the bike are here, although I've recently had it repainted by Joe Bell and it looks even better (new pix to be posted soon):

It's at 777 Pauma Reservation Rd, Pauma Valley, CA 92061. Three bottles and/or camelbak recommended. More info on the Rough Riders blog: http://www.xo-1.org/ I hope to see you there! This is a FANTASTIC ride and you do not want to miss it! Chris Kostman PS We have a weekly 20 mile / 110-minute "Rough Rider Ramble" in the La Jolla / Sorrento Valley, CA on Wednesdays at 5pm.
