Title: Post-birthday vacation day ride Post by: Privateer on April 24, 2009, 05:18:20 PM So I had the day off and I wanted to ride. After much hemming and hawing, I settled on a route. Well, google maps didn't match reality so I had to improvise a little bit. Here is the route (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Yorba+Linda+Blvd&daddr=W+5th+St%2FCA-66+to:Little+Mountain+Dr+to:Little+Mountain+Dr%2FW+Morgan+Rd+to:Kendall+Dr+to:Cajon+Blvd%2FUS-66+to:Devore+Rd%2FUS-66+to:N+Cajon+Blvd%2FUS-66+to:CA-173+to:S+CA-138+to:S+H+St+to:34.06745,-117.384796+to:N+Placentia+Ave&hl=en&geocode=FZIbBQIdimD5-A%3BFfBzCAId0O4B-Q%3BFSX0CAIdu-kB-Q%3BFVJgCQIdEeQB-Q%3BFd_KCQId9hMB-Q%3BFYABCgId6sgA-Q%3BFbRiCgIdCIsA-Q%3BFTwsCwIdl87_-A%3BFXnwCwIdFvYC-Q%3BFUVMCgIdpEkC-Q%3BFegrCAIdZiEC-Q%3B%3BFRk3BQIdLWn5-A&mra=dpe&mrcr=4&mrsp=11&sz=11&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,11&sll=34.016811,-117.504272&sspn=0.320426,0.533524&ie=UTF8&ll=34.116352,-117.538605&spn=0.640096,1.067047&z=10) And a picture of the route to get an idea.

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9581/april2009004.jpg) (http://img21.imageshack.us/my.php?image=april2009004.jpg) (http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7110/april2009009.jpg) (http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=april2009009.jpg) Then I cut across 138 to 173. (http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1707/april2009010.jpg) (http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=april2009010.jpg) I planned to take 173 to 18, but that didn't work out too well. (Eff you google maps!) (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4434/april2009012.jpg) (http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=april2009012.jpg) (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/3386/april2009013.jpg) (http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=april2009013.jpg) So I backtracked to 138, took that to 18, which wasn't a horrible option (http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7239/april2009015.jpg) (http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=april2009015.jpg) I stopped off at Chapparal on the way home to try and pick up a back protector for my mesh jacket but they didn't have the one I wanted. Cracked a beer when I got home. Not a bad day. Title: Re: Post-birthday vacation day ride Post by: Gus Duc on April 24, 2009, 05:47:23 PM Nice [thumbsup] Happy Belated Bday ;D
