I rode up on some of the “Descenders” on the Hwy 56 bike trail in San Diego this Saturday about 11am. I was the old guy on the black and white carbon Douglas bike…hanging on the back wheel of the tall dude on the yellow Fuji. I could not find the descender.org website so drop me an email, perhaps I could join you on some rides. I like to climb but I’m actually much better on the descents like HVR, South Grade, etc

Impressive. It appears you got more out of that ride than pie. My wife and I spent a week in Carlsbad in ’04, and I find it interesting to note how similar your area looks to the Texas Hill Country — the difference being that you have real mountains. And we don’t have an ocean. But we have cattle guards.
