Great report! I love the pictures - they realy brought me back in time. We used to live in SD, and I lived right near Palomar for a summer in high school.
And WOW - I had completely forgotten about Dudley's bakery. Dudley's is GREAT!!

i told tony that i drove that far FOR THE DUDLEY BREAD! the ride was secondary! lol! i REALLY wish i hadn't tried the bars... OMG were they AWESOME!
well.... tony did an AWESOME job even without rich being there the whole time! i was SO impressed! and the biggest thing... he's willing to listen to the riders.... compare it to 3 harbors.... 30 minutes to check in? and i was pre-registered? and THEY have no interest in changing... at least that part????
tony's all in to listening to what the RIDERS like/dislike/want!
and you know me... i'm the "queen of organized rides!" lol! feed me GOOD food.... give me water (and ICE! OMG! i had COLD water the WHOLE RIDE!)
tracy... you have a whole year...... you'll be able to do the mesa grande climb next year! if not... there's no shame in walking... trust me... there were a lot of people stopping to rest and some walking! the palomar grade part you could do now! (both up and down! the down part of mesa grande would freak you now... but you're gonna overcome that! i have confidence!)
the fires have moved away from us... and last i checked.... 70% contained.... the sky looked clear to me when i rode this morning! and even yucca and morongo were a LOT clearer when we drove through there yesterday!
so unless something freaky happens.... i think we're ok!

Great pictures! Looks like it was a very nice day! Thanks for sharing.

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.
