On March 20 and 27, 2010 we enjoyed some excellent adventures on and around southeastern San Diego County's Mount Laguna. This Saturday's group of 15 included Basketball Legend and AdventureCORPS Fan #1, Bill Walton, with 11-year-old Moriah Swan and her 13-year-old sister Hannah Swan. All three will participate in the upcoming Mount Laguna Bicycle Classic. Moriah and Hannah are both incredible riders, just smooth and beautiful on their bikes. It was pleasure to ride with them, with our good friend Bill, and everyone else!
I rode my Roadeo, as you can see since it's the first photo on the page! The carbon seat post and flimsy "racing" saddle have been replaced with parts more sensible. Next the carbon bars and stem will get replaced. Once I do that, I will post a full slideshow, including the three different wheel set-ups which allow this bike to be "the one bike to rule them all." As we have opined before, truly one of California's best kept secrets of the outdoor world is the area on and around Mt. Laguna, the 6,000' peak in eastern San Diego County. The cycling there, on and off road, as well as hiking, bird watching, flower-spotting, animal-seeking, camping, and much more, are just unparalleled. Encompassing Anza- Borrego State Park and the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area of the Cleveland National Forest, it's a beautiful, gorgeous, wondrous place to explore, enjoy life, and get way out there - all the while just 44 miles east of San Diego! For those of you attending the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show, I encourage you to find the time to head east a bit and do some outstanding riding in the Pine Valley / Mounta Laguna area! Speaking of that, my Roadeo and I will be on whatever ride Esteban organizes for the fellow Rivendell riders that weekend. I'll also be at the bike show one day (with Bill Walton), and will attend the party at Velo Cult. I hope to meet many of you there, and see some old friends, too! Here are some photos of the Mount Laguna rides, a post-ride hike to Kitchen Creek Falls, and more: http://www.XO-1.org - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
