Bike - Saturday, October 9, 8:00 a.m. : Wear K Gear if you have it!!! Celebrate K-mania. May be photo opportunities.
Let’s ride Geneseo, Union, Estrella and Ranchita Canyon Roads to San Miguel, where we will hoist some of the world’s best burritos in celebration of Terry’s victory in the 508.

---We will leave K-Man Cycle and Run at or about 8:00 a.m. We will head out left on El Camino, to right on Curbaril, left on Santa Ysabel, right on Highway 41, left on Homestead, right on South El Pomar, right on Creston, left on Geneseo, continuing right to Union. Then it is right on Union and straight all the way to Highway 46Right on 46 and carefully left on Estrella. We will then follow Estrella through various twists and turns to Ranchita Canyon where we turn right. We stay on Ranchita Canyon road to Cross Canyon, and turn left there, following Cross Canyon to San Miguel, where we will get to savor the burritos. We can then decide whether to return on the east side of the Freeway, by way of Hog Canyon, River Road, etc., or on the west side of 101, by way of San Marcos Road and the wine country.  See you Saturday.

Also.....Check out this experimental link for North County Cycling News.
And........The L’Eroica classic bicycling event held last weekend. A YouTube video depicting the event can be accessed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lo-8wiJSks&feature=player_embedded#

 Now in its 14th year, the race draws riders from around the world, ranging in age from 15 to 90, with the occasional world champion like Francesco Moser joining in. Riders can choose routes to match their abilities; the shortest is 24 miles long, the longest 127 miles.
The only requirements are a vintage bike, vintage clothing and, it would appear, a healthy appetite. Because there are no time trials, stopping for a sandwich and a glass of Chianti is perfectly acceptable.
