I haven't decided on rides yet this year as I'm kind of waiting to see what rides my DH wants to do. Usually I do the Palm Springs ride, the Volvo Tour of L.A. the cycling portion of the L.A. Triathlon, maybe Rosarita-Ensenada. The Cool Breeze sure sounds good. I don't know anything about the Amtrak ride but I think I'll check it out.
