RAINBOW RUN INFO
Sunday, May 2, 2004
Everyone seemed to enjoy last year’s
departure from the routine, where we toured inland to the high country near
Anza, looping back through Idyllwild at 6,000 feet for lunch, then back through
Hemet and the beautiful Wine Country before returning to base. If this is the preference, then we will plan
on repeating the experience.
Alternatively, we can combine this with a short tour of the back roads
of north San Diego County
as we have in the past.
The base of the ride will be the Rainbow Oaks Restaurant as usual, where you may
come early for a hearty breakfast and enjoy some refreshment at the end of the
ride as well. Our lunch stop will be
planned for Idyllwild as last year if that is the preferred route. Details of the ride are as follows:
TIME
and DATE: Sunday, May 2; Breakfast Arrival as you wish;
Ride leaves at 10AM
BASE
LOCATION: Rainbow Oaks Restaurant – Rainbow
Valley Blvd., Rainbow, CA
Ample Parking Available at and around the Restaurant
DIRECTIONS
From
the North:
Exit Interstate 15 at Rainbow
Valley Blvd., just South of Temecula; turn left to cross over the freeway, then
South along the east side frontage road (Rainbow Valley Blvd.) for about 2
miles or less; restaurant is on your left.
From
the South:
Exit Interstate 15 at Mission
Rd. (Fallbrook) exit; turn right and proceed north along east frontage road for
about two miles; restaurant is on your right.
There should be gas available at
Rainbow Oaks, but in any event, we will make a gas stop in Temecula on Highway
79 within 5-10 miles of our start. There
is gas available in Anza and Idyllwild, and on the return route in Hemet. I will try to have a simple map and a set of
directions available at the start. We
WILL need a volunteer for trouble truck, as this route takes us through some
rather spectacular hinterlands! The
entire route is about 120 miles in circuit, but is quite varied and scenic
throughout. The ride should conclude
about 4 PM or slightly earlier.
COME JOIN US For a Day of Fun,
Great Scenery and Enjoyable Company!
