Bathrooms are to the left of the main store. There's water in there and also on the other side of the parking lot, across from the store, if memory serves.

There's a fudge counter inside the store, in the back. Norval or I will often get a chunk to share.

Sometimes they have an event going on, like a car show, with food stalls.

I was there last year. There is a bathroom near the store. There were food trucks with decent food.

They have a small store. Looks like it sells mostly decorations and farm goods. The image of the storefront on their website shows a bathroom entrance outside.

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

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.

Quote from: Joseph Gordon on May 09, 2025, 10:13:02 AMIs there any consideration of changing the Clipper route from Sleeping Indian to something more
toward the coast ?

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.
