San Dieguito River to 76

My birthday ride. Bernardo Bay Trail following the shore line to W. Bernardo Dr.  Road work on W.B. Rd south had closed the pede strian/ bike bridge. Darn! I was going to go West. Across I-15, overpast and onto freeway. 1st time crossing Lake Hodges on the Freeway. They sure go fast!

Pit stop for food. I headed to the Mule Hill trailhead. Across the street from the Mall. Followed Mule Hill Historic Trail, which leads ito the San Pasqual Valley Trail. I made it up Raptor Ridge with a few stops. The view was georgous. The ride down the other side made it worth while!

Stayed on the trail until the dariy farm on Bandy Cyn Rd. Then the road the last 2.5 miles to 78 & Bandy.

By the Ysabel Creek staging area I was really feeling tired. Resting a bit I contuined on the road against a good headwind. Finally back on dirt for the ride back up hill, back tru the valley. Down I-15, exit to Pomerado, south  to Ranch Bernardo Rd. Catching the bus back home!!

Roughly 20 miles mountian biking!
