Solo ride starting from church and heading out Grand to BVP, then over to East Valley Pkwy. Went over to Lake Wohlford Rd, then up this road, following it by Valley View Casino to Valley Center Rd. Down Valley Center Rd to Lilac Rd, which I took. I intended to follow this road and cross over I-15 using the big bridge, but I missed the turn, which I think was at West Lilac Rd. I ended up going toward Pala Casino. By the time I realized that I had missed my turn, it was really too late to turn back, so I gritted my teeth and kept heading toward Pala. The last stretch of Lilac Rd was really sketchy, as was a little piece of packed dirt road that I used to get over to the 76. Once on the 76, I headed west, and that 5 miles of road seemed a lot longer. Got onto old 395 and climbed slowly up, by the bridge, then back down by Gopher Canyon and Lawrence Welk Village. I was looking for some kind of quick mart to get something to eat but couldn't find one. Climbed up, again slowly, to Deer Springs, then made my way back through Escondido and home. At the very end, my legs were starting to complain. After I got home, I couldn't stand for very long without having to sit down and rest my legs. Recovery was still pretty quick.
Average speed = 16.1 mph. Total mileage = 58 mi.
