    thanks for the heads up! I wanted to do that ride a few months back but ended up going east on Palomar Airport rode into San Marcos... still made it 60 miles... gonna have to go ride the base now! sounds great... especially the lack of cars!

    Some additional info that I forgot to add.

    Riding on base is limited to daylight hours. No riding after dusk. The military police are also very strict about staying on the bike route, which is very well marked. Afterall, it is a military base (a very pretty one with a gorgeous beach and lots of endangered species). I'm glad to have a new bike route since the Base has forbid access to cyclists ever since 911.

    Leave all WMD's at home... and no bike mounted rifle racks!

    Salute at the nice soldiers and put a little American flag on your bike for solidarity. Wish I could go....

    spazz - it's still raining here
    no regrets!

    Just to let you know, you should wave at the Marines on the base, not the soldiers....although I am a very typical un-military person from Massachusetts, my son is a Marine (all that Cat 3 racing made him crazy and tough) and he has let me know in no uncertain terms that you never call marines soldiers!
    I've spent much time in San Diego and will keep this ride in mind when I visit my Dad next time.

    Cindy when were you on Pendelton? Thom was in the Marines '85 - '91, stationed at Pendelton. I worked as a lifeguard fro the base pools most of that time.

    Robyn:

    I am a protester of this ludicris politically driven war, but I'd do anything to help a soldier. God bless and keep your son, he will be in my thoughts and prayers.
