Yep, take Via De La Valle west to Coast Highway... I always head south (towards the college) and you can get in some minor rollers and amazing scenery... tons of riders along this stretch so cars are pretty savvy and watch for you... if you have time, stop at the Pannikin (it's a white and yellow house that will be on your right, west, as you head south) one day and replace every calorie you may have burned and then some by having one of their orange cinnamon rolls... sigh... heaven.

redhot... Torrey Pines is about a mile and a half at 6-7%... I just get into granny gear and do it... and going southbound you climb it and there is no big downhill after if that's a concern... you'll be fine considering the climbing you're already doing... trust me!

The inside of Torrey, into the park, is steeper, but Amtrack doesn't have you do that...

Redhot... I'm actually doing pretty well... that's sweet of you to ask! I considered doing a ride this week, but haven't yet... the tenderness is decreasing but still there. This weekend I worked an event and was out til 2am Fri and Sat was my 20 yr HS reunion. I got home at 3am. I AM NOT 21 ANYMORE! I napped like an old lady all weekend... LOL

I will be back up to Camarillo within the next month or two as I will be landscape designing my bro's new house... he got a corner lot and we're putting in an island bed...

HE is training right now to ride the Knoxville Double Century again this year... I'll be sure to let you know when I come up if we have time to ride... he and I usually try to get at least one ride in... I make him go nice and slow.
