Trail + Bike Path Recon Rides

Inland Rail Trail in San Marcos

June 4, 8 & 9.
Doing a few more recon rides to confirm several route changes and update the photo database.
June4:
Hit the Lake Hodges Trail again to check out some alternate routes. After the switchbacks, went down to Artisian via the dirt trail. Sort of got lost under the power lines. My Garmin 500 did do a "breadcrumb" path and I finally got back on track again on the Lusardi Loop. Also add a alternate path to Los Penasquitos Canyon. Much better way than on the hard surfaced roads down to the trail-head at Mercy Road.

Keith riding Rose Canyon Hiking Trail

On Saturday met up with the NCCC club at Restaurant Row in San Marcos. Did a short ride out with them on the way to riding the full Escondido Creek Bike Path. The Bike Path was cleaned up from years past. Took lots of photos out to Ysabel Creek Rd. Came back via San Pasqual Rd.

June 9:
Met up with Keith Olsen on Sunday at the top of Rose Canyon Bike Path. He had his ol Klein MTB. Was trying to get his Judy fork to work. We rode up the Rose Canyon Hiking Trail to Genesee Road. Then on to Roselle St dirt road downhill and stopped at his new found shop: Quest on Sorrento Valley Rd. Big ol Eric there was trying to sell him a Salso Fargo bike. I think he needs a front suspension bike.
 We rode out to the Wagon Wheel Crossing and chatted with some riders in Los Penasquitos Canyon. Rode back the reverse way, taking some pics along the way.

Made up a video using some new pics. It's for a new rando route called: "Rock & Road Trail".
