This summer's proposed route

We slept in a little today but we finally got on the bike around 10AM. We (actually I, since I have total control) did not have a plan. We ended up on Elizabeth Lake Road and stopped for breakfast in Leona Valley. Pancakes, eggs and bacon at Scramblez. We split one order. We then turned west and continued riding to Munz Ranch Road then rode along the aqueduct. It was a beautiful day in the high 50's and no wind. The snow-covered hills were in the distance. We saw a roadrunner, a couple of hawks, and lots of duck couples. We waved and said hi to many of the fisherman on the aqueduct. We were both pretty tired at the end and the odometer register 39.1 miles as we pulled up to the house. We really need to ride more during the week!

Just a few poppies.

Later in the afternoon we got out the book, maps and the two dueling laptops to finalize our summer's trip. We think we have a plan. Hopefully California does not close all the State Parks that have Hiker/Biker sites. We have hosted many bike travelers through warmshowers.org but we have never stayed with anyone ourselves. Ev searched the site and we may stay with one in the San Diego Area. There is also one in Ensenada Mexico. We have a couple extra days at the end and this intrigues us. Ev emailed him to see if it is doable and safe. Our other option is to hit a few of the San Diego Co. breweries for a beer-tasting weekend. 

Even though I told Google Maps to find the bike route, when printed it still shows car driving time. Here is the map!
