Members of the SDMBA (San Diego Mountain Bike Association) were provided a rare opportunity to participate in an exploration of Rancho Guejito, a private land preserve tucked into inland San Diego County. The 40-mile ride concluded with music, a feast of BBQ, locally produced beer, and wine produced on the ranch. Good times and a reminder of the benefits of collectivism.

Continued On Page 19 where we now are they have conducted themselves in the same way, although all are unarmed. At a quarter to eleven in the night our patient was successfully delivered of a boy, which makes three who have been delivered. How many humans were born out here? How many have died? What stories were told that are no longer spoken? Which still remain? Journal entry, Monday, December 25, 1775: There not being in this place enough water for our cattle, although there is enough for the people, they went to drink at a place about a league from here where they drank yesterday in passing, for fear that what has happened to us would happen to them. After they had done this, running water in abundance was found a quarter of a league away to the southwest of our camp and of the road which we are following, with an abundance of pasturage and firewood, which we now know about for another occasion. The air is warm and a breeze kicks up. Farther up the canyon, I go, simply enjoying the satisfaction of being away from there but present here, a place on a map where people have come and gone for eons. Too, some have stayed and others will arrive and never leave. Journal entry, Tuesday, December 26, 1775: Today having dawned fair, at the regular hour the sun came out bright. For this reason and because the mother was better and had the pluck to march, we prepared to break camp, and at a quarter to nine set forth, ascending the valley which has been mentioned, going west northwest … Here we halted for the night because it has been raining ever since nine o ‘clock, although very lightly, since this rain, if it should become harder, might injure the woman who was delivered night before last, and since the march although short has been for the most part up and down. With this march the sierra or cordillera which runs to and ends at Baja California is now overcome or passed. My weekend jaunt through an intersection of history and landscape is winding down, my primary thought being of hope; I hope to continue my annual, winter, desert bike packing trip through here when my hair is white, or has fallen out, and then at some point, I will not be able make the trip, which is okay. ▲ You can read more from James Murren's travels on his website www.jamesmurren.com, and on www.BICYCLIST.xyz, search 'murren'.

So Cal Flashback
VINTAGE PHOTOS of some of the great Legends and Races
We searched the BICYCLIST vault, and got a little help from our friends at 911 Law, and found some of the classic bike racing photos that prove that Southern California has been, and continues to be, one of the best regions for bike riding and racing.
By the BAT Staff
A B O V E This photo was taken circa 1988, a team post race picture of “Richard Duquette’s Attorney for Athletes Triathlon team”. Back row, standing left to right: Jeff Timpson, Jon Black, Paul Lundgren , Pennie McLaughlin, Tim Sheeper, and Corky Ewing. Front row, left to right: Gordy Haskett, Richard Duquette, and Patty Richards.
