Clint’s Monthly Ride: Lake Cuyamca

The ride checks out the new freeway and takes a nice drive eastward.

I enjoy meeting in Santee at the for the Monthly Ride because I get several comments from folks that don’t live here. They always say things like, “This wasn’t as far out as I thought,” or, “Dude, .” My response is always the same, “Of course, that’s why I love it!”

It’s also nice that it’s so easy to find just a couple of miles off of , which we took for the first time since it and it shaved off about 10 minutes of city driving for us. We don’t enjoy the stop-and-go with all the lights in town and with more than 20 bikes it gets difficult to stick together, so it was really nice to test out the new freeway.

We took the 8 East and then wound our way through the mountains until we pulled over at Lake Cuyamaca, to stretch our legs. After we snapped some pictures we rode about six miles to the small town of Julian where we again stopped because one of our pals needed gas. Helpful hint of the month: Gas up prior to the ride.

As we started out of town I started to get that hunger that just won’t go away. Riding seems to go very well with eating, so we made it into Poway where we stopped to enjoy some great food at Jimmy’s Brick Pit BBQ. 

After stuffing our faces with everything but the tables and chairs, we decided it was time to call it a day. We shook hands, hopped on our bikes and went our separate ways.

Whether you ride a or a , you’re always welcome to come along for the Monthly Ride. We meet the first Saturday of each month and you can check out The B.C. And Clint Page on 101kgb.com for the details…

No matter what you ride… Just ride!

Anyone else recommend a Santee family owned business that's outside the city?

Where do you type what you want to view, like "Quail Brush"?

No drop down menus, just click the header links for more options. For story categories click newsRead More and look on the left hand column. I know the redesign will take a bit to get used to, but I really think it will be a better site for community engagement, and easier to use. Feel free to post your feedback to the redesign on the boards, I'll check it out and respond, but you might also send your feedback straight to Patch headquarters with this form- http://feedback.aol.com/rs/rs.php?sid=patch Engineers will be furiously tweeking the new site based on your suggestions.

The new format from my iPad is very boring. Where are the drop down menus?

this is why the battlefield has changed temporarily from the political arena to the Energy Arena.Read More Co Gen Tricks and the usual suspects are making their big money bet on two inevitable facts that will force the hand of the CPUC and CEC to place a new gas power plant somewhere in the area. 1) the Electric Vehicle Mandate. 2) voltage support (power factor) needed by the industrial wind and solar farms in the desert. There is more to what meets the eye with the aggressive push by the usual suspects to cover our open spaces in the East County with these poorly sited RE projects. More wind and solar farms means more gas power plants. There is only one way to fight the destruction of our open spaces, and that is with roof top solar, conservation, energy efficiency and community owned energy districts. The fisrt thing that needs to be done is the City of Santee exempt residential scale PV installs from needing a building permit. Australia, Germany and the State of Vermont do not require a Building Permit to install PV.

Well said Stephen! Knowledge is TRULY power! The fight is not over! Cogentrix is just onceRead More again playing their wait, wait, wait game in the public eye and playing their lobbying game behind closed doors.
