First Ride of the Year: The long way to Oceanside

[Privateer]

Started a little late (and still cold) from my house.  Cruiser Russ met me and off we went.



Ortega was dirty but ride-able.  Barely any traffic.  Gas in T-Mec. 



We took 79 out to Warner Springs.





Then jumped onto 76 to head towards the coast.  An ambulance passed me soon after this first picture and went up Palomar.



I needed a stretch break in Pala.


Ride to Eat.  Eat to Ride.

I got to get out a little today too, before the rain this weekend. Although my ride didn't seem as fun as yours looks!

Nice ride!

I havent been down that way in years!!  When I lived in Upland, I used to ride that loop a lot.

I got out for a bit myself, yesterday... Last minute decision to meet up with a few friends...  [moto]

There were a couple of patches of black ice, but everyone made it through okay. 

I'm second in line in this pic.. Can't see the antlers, though...


Rudolph (me) leading the way...


Late lunch at Neptune's Net...

(L-R) Me, Gangsta Juliet (kneeling), Randy, Chandelier Jody, and Thomas


Neptune's has THE BEST clam chowder. Even without bacon!

Like I said, it was last minute...  I flew in from the east coast a few hours before. Next Sunday we're going to head up the 33...  

Jody is riding a CBR600RR now, BTW.

Hey! You know Tom?

Yeah, I met him on my birthday ride last spring when we went up the 33.  Doesn't he live in Long Beach or somewhere down there?  Really nice guy, takes really nice photos too...

Privateer, sorry to Jack your Thread...  

Think you can make it for our jaunt up the 33 next Sunday?  [moto]


Oh, just found this on www.rockstorephotos.com

Next time this route is planned give a 15 min heads up. I live in Temecula area and work in Oceanside and can get to San Juan in 20 minutes.
