ps. Caligurl, I'd love to see the sock picture AND, just make sure all your rides are on BikeJournal and I'll do the best I can to make sure there are no conflicts!
My original idea was an "Old Town to Wine" tour in Temecula but am having a really tough time getting a route long enough... gorgeous ride though, I haven't given up yet. I'm also looking at Escondido which has some very beautiful rural areas - I think it would be much more enjoyable for the riders if the traffic and stop signs/lights were kept as minimal as possible so that's what I'm aiming for. I'm meeting with the city of Temecula tomorrow so maybe they can add some ideas on route expansion.
