Tour de Julian

Website Info:

http://www.julianactive.com/tour%20de%20julian.htm

http://www.julianactive.com/tdjlongmap.htm

Description:

55 miles--all uphill

Bring lots of food to prevent bonking!

This ride will take longer than most 55 miles. I'm not kidding about the uphill part!

Also, it is often very windy and temperatures are usually cool in the fall (snow in winter). In November, expect 40s.

The ride is extremely scenic--lots of farmland and national preserve acreage. Not a lot of places to stop if you break down. Also, cell phone service is spotty.

If you live at sea level, remember to account for the effects of altitude (start at 4,000, end at 5,000).

Worth it? Definitely!

Route 19 - Tuesday Night Workout

You need good group biking skills to ride with this group. Fast paced (20 mph avg) evening workout. The faster cyclists break off and do "Stud Loop" on this route (La Valle Plateada, El Vuelo, and Las Colinas), and then regroup. "Slower" riders do route 20. Take this route slip and get familiar with the turns. The ride officially starts at 5:15PM, but get there at 5:00 as departure is often early. Be ready to get dropped - this is a workout, not a stick together social ride. Again, do not come if you are not confident riding in a fast paced pack.

For the upcoming weekend (Saturday, August 11th):
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1211166

43 mile ride
Scenic and HILLY!!!
(We'll get the hills over with first and come back on the coast).

Meet at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach 7:15 am for 7:30 departure.
I'll have route slips so no one gets lost.
In addition, I ride slow so I'll be the sweeper!
1 rest stop (not 2 as I mentioned earlier), after all the climbing in San Marcos.

Ride Description:

Start: Fletcher Cove, Solana Beach
Head east on Lomas Santa Fe (Hwy S8)
Continue as Lomas Santa Fe becomes Linea del Cielo (mile 3)
Continue as Linea del Cielo becomes (left turn) Paseo Delicias (mile 5) in Rancho Santa Fe.
Continue as Paseo Delicias becomes Del Dios Highway (Hwy S6) (mile 8). Begin significant climb up to and past Lake Hodges.
Near Escondido, Del Dios Hwy becomes West Valley Parkway. Stay on West Valley Parkway.
At mile 15, turn left on Citricado Pkwy (in Escondido).
Quick right at end of road onto Avenida del Diablo.
Note--if you need a gas station, stay straight on West Valley Pkway for an optional rest stop about a mile north of Avenida del Diablo, at the intersection of West Valley and Auto Park Wy. To save time, we will try to forgo this stop and wait until we've finished all our climbing. However, there's not much for the next 10 miles so be prepared!
Quick left on S. Hale Ave (heading north).
Turn left on Harmony Grove Rd. (about 1/2 mile).
*Stay on Harmony Grove Rd. (turn left before it turns into Enterprise Rd., immediately after passing Princess Kyra Pl. on the right. This is just past mile 16).
Stay on Harmony Grove Rd. (turn left before Kauana Loa Dr. at ~mile 16.5).
Turn right on Elfin Forest Rd. (not quite mile 21). (Harmony Grove turns into Elfin Forest at this point.) This is another stretch of significant climbing.
*For bathroom break, turn right on San Elijo Rd. at mile 23.75 in San Marcos. Stop at park on left-hand side (baseball fields). Regroup.
Continue South on San Elijo Rd. (turn right out of park, or if not stopping, turn left off of Elfin Forest Rd.)
Turn right on Melrose Dr. just before mile 25 (If you go too far and hit Rancho Santa Fe Rd., turn right. Rancho Santa Fe intersects Melrose--you'd then turn left to continue).
*Note--If you're crunched for time or tired and want to cut the ride short, stay straight on San Elijo Rd until you hit Rancho Santa Fe Rd and turn left to head South. A few miles down, turn right at La Costa Blvd., which will take you directly west to the coast, where you can turn left (south) at Coast Hwy and head home.
Turn left onto Palomar Airport Rd. (Rte 12) off of Melrose at mile 28 and head west.
Turn right on El Camino Real.
Turn left on Faraday Ave.
Turn left on Cannon (Flanaway dead ends onto Cannon).
Take Cannon west to Coast Hwy. Turn left (south) on Coast Hwy (just after mile 33).
Continue south on Coast Hwy for the next 10 miles until you reach Lomas Santa Fe in Solana Beach and turn right to get back to the start at Fletcher Cove
You made it! Time to eat!

After Work Quickie on the 56 Bike Path

2007-08-08T11:17:00.000-07:00

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1211022

This is a very scenic 20-miler with not too much traffic and only a few hills. Good for recovery and during rush-hour. Took me just over 1.5 hrs.

Start out North on Torrey Pines (from UCSD).
Right on Carmel Valley Road.
Right on El Camino Real.
Right onto 56-bike path (walk your road bike over the dirt path).
East on 56-bike path as far as you like (I turned around at Camino del Sur, which was just over 10 miles).
Turn around and head back the way you came. Save energy for the climb up Torrey Pines at the end.

Route 24 - Solana Beach to Valley Center - 77 miles.

There are the most straightforward roads from Solana Beach to Valley Center and back. There are some nicer back roads out and back, but these will get you there fast and are most easily followed. This is a long, challenging and scenic ride intended to escape the coastal overdevelopment. Major climbs include Lomas Santa Fe, Del Dios, Lake Wohlford, and Champagne. Remember, Hill is not a four-letter word.
