Thinking about a ride that incorporates BNF as a rest stop. It's been years since I stopped in there.
Do they have bathrooms and do they sell drinks/water?

Thanks, Steve
Shwalbe One TLE's are the only tubeless tires I have use for 4+ years.  I usually go with the Schwalbe Pro One series 700x32, although I currently run 700x28 on the front.  Whatever your tire size and series, check it out.
Many thanks again - Karl

If you're like me, you love riding on Schwalbe One TLE tires. I've had very few issues with them
over the years. Their 28c tire is on sale for $39.99/ea. It's a low price, at least for me. And, a local
shop, Socal Bicycle in Oceanside sells them.

Nothing.  But if anyone knows of a 16' or 20' enclosed trailer for sale that's at a good price, please let me know! They will also be looking for replacement folding tables, ez-ups (shade) and chairs to replace the equipment that's needed for running the Tour de Big Bear event.

Heads up Clippers,

Weather service says 93 deg in Fallbrook tomorrow. I'm making the command decision to change the ride to a cooler more coastal route, with some front loaded climbing. The route has a couple of new roads for us, so I can lead the way if needed.

I would suggest stopping at Oak Riparian at mile 8 for a quick early bathroom break, which seems to be popular, then longer stop at South Ponto Beach, mile 22.

Really sorry to hear this. Any breaks in the case yet?

Ken - I really love my EVOC travel bag. Click here for some photos. I'm not willing to sell, but can lend it to an NCCC member who will take good care of it. Mine was bought in 2017 and the interior mounting frame they sell now is better. I bought this as I went on a tour traversing the rim of the Alps from Ljubljana, Slovenia to Nice in 2016 with 20 other folks, the majority of whom travelled with EVOCs all over the world. I figured they knew what they were doing.

I currently use an Orucase "Ninja" for airplane trips, but my 61cm frame bike doesn't really fit and it's a hassle to drop the fork for the Orucase. TSA messed up last time and didn't correctly repack the bike (since it's such a tight fit) and some things got bent.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a bike travel case or bag. Topeak Gopak X? EVOC? Thule? Do you have one that you want to sell?
