We've done neighborhood cycling, backroads cycling and cycling along the Santa Ana River bike path, but this was our first real off-road trail ride. We climbed hills, mostly avoided the larger rocks and dealt with a stream crossing to get to the other side of Lake Hodges. Unfortunately, part of the trail was closed and we resorted to some "city" riding (hilly roads) to make up a few miles. The weather was perfect. After re-fueling at the local McDonalds, the prospect of a follow-up siesta sounded pretty good to everyone.
