I got an email from John last week that he didn't get enough DS action in Big Bear last weekend, so he decided to "organize" a San Diego ride. I met the guys at the Eastlake Mobile 1 gas station...
Apparently Todd invited some friends but forgot to tell them to mount the knobbies...
Squid alert!!
So we hit the open road... 
And so did this guy...
This was a first. I've never seen someone wipe out on a straight road. Obviously, this cat is an over achiever!
Not one to waste a good segway...I appologize for skipping ahead a bit...
So on we went to one of Todd's favorite breakfast spots...
The bikes...
The food...
More food!
Apparently they also serve seafood...
After breakfast we started the ascent...
Nice!
The colonel wouldn't stop complaining...he was really having a bad day...he probably should have stayed home...
A bit farther up the hill we encountered our first challenge. John obviously forgot his tri-focals...
The older members of the group wanted to turn around...
But with a little encouragement...
We continued the climb into julian...
And met up with some guys on a 5 month hiking tour from California to Washington...
After a nice rest (and some entertainment with the squid crash...) it was time to hit the trail again!
And hit the trail we did!
We rode for another few miles until John needed to feed his habit...
Given the current economic situation, Todd finds it necessary to get every last millimeter of tread out of his $36 tires...
And a little farther up the trail is "The Oak"...
And then it was back to Todd's place for some after ride Scotch and some routine BS'ing...
Ever notice that Todd sits like a girl?
It was a great day with great friends!
