A KickerBiker Ride

It was 30 July and a bit sultry. The KickerBikers met for a ride.
 
This was most of the group ....
 
... and two more.
 
Oops, one more.
 
Where to ride? Merle wanted to ride up Mt. Soledad. With nothing better that's the way we went.
 
At the top.
 
 
 
The entire group
 

Where to ride next? There was a suggestion to ride down to the start and ride up Clairemont Drive. Too far inland was one comment. Go down Muirlands was another suggestion. A couple of riders peeled off and went down Muirlands. The remainder rode back down Soledad Mt. Rd., the way we had gone up, and regrouped at the parking lot we had started from. There cooler heads prevailed and instead of Clairemont Drive, Gail led us through Ocean Beach to the end of Sunset Cliffs Blvd.

 
What would a trip to OB be without a stop at the bathroom?
 
At the end of Sunset Cliffs Blvd. It was decided to take Cornish to Novara to Sta. Barbara to Tarento to the "Yellow House."
 
The "Yellow House."
 
Approaching the Yellow House.
 
Quick fix for a broken spoke.
 

Maybe this should be called the "Broken Spoke Ride." There was not one but two broken spokes. Both Joi, Larry suffered a broken spoke.

From the Yellow House we rode down to "Mitch's" for lunch then back through Liberty Station, through Navy housing, Rosecrans, Pacific Highway and back to the start.

 
The riders who peeled off at the top of Mt. Soledad arrived back at the same time as the other group of riders.
