It's all about who you know. And having having friends in high places! 

Doug P's local bike club, the Bicycle Club of Irvine, was having a semi-annual S24O get-together in O'Neill Regional Park. One thing led to another, and the next thing I knew I was carrying camping gear for myself and my 12 y.o. across the wilds of deepest, darkest coastal Southern California! 

Met a great bunch of folks, had an 18 mile ride to the park, festive dinner at a local hidden in the hills cantina, the woke up and reversed the route. My custom AR handled perfectly, along with every bike there. Side note: Really, really like the REI Half Dome 2. Good tent!

Pictures of good times being had by all:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/sets/72157647473491658 

Cheers,
David

We left Irvine around 2 PM Saturday & were back before 11 AM Sunday, so for once we actually did an S24O, transit time to & from the start notwithstanding.  Thanks to Norm Moyer, our Prime Mover and enabler of all things bicycle touring, Dev Sellin for hauling out the camp kitchen in her car, and Bill Sellin ("Mr Bill") for a breakfast of Endless Oatmeal & Bottomless Coffee.The video is a group of around 6-8 people on bikes (duh!) who circled the campground 3x.  Of course we cheered them on.

This was one of those super easy S240's. Norm did the organizing and Doug kept us in the know. I live in Southern California and had no idea that the county "O" had great bike lanes, trails and beautiful terrain, And O'Neill Regional Park with free showers!  What drought? 

The best part of this overnight was as always the people and ahem the beautiful bicycles.

I did a lousy job on photo documenting this trip fortunately the Cyclotourist  was around. My meager images.

You obviously became distracted at some point Saturday evening!
