Los Angeles Wheelmen VP Report - April 25, 2023

On Sunday we were riding the "Paul Neuerburg Centuries." It turns out there is a town in Germany named Neuerburg -- probably where Paul got his family name. I found this nice slide show of the sights around Neuerburg set to music. It's a nice way to start tonight's e-mail.

Sunday:  Seven of us showed up at the start on Sunday, which is better than the last time when I remember riding it alone. Phil Whitworth took this photo:


Phil, Mario, David and Edwin did the full century while Jacques, Hoy and I did the metric. Actually, I think David started with the full century but split off at some point to ride home. 




Saw the week before photos are missing then realize I've posted it before as I rode with the LAW then did this

Double Peak Park

https://hiddensandiego.com/things-to-do/places/double-peak-park After yesterday's ride with the club, have to do extra climbing for this weekend's ride, uhgg. Knew where I wanted to go, the Elijo Hills, took a map and devised a route. Using many roads never ridden as this is all new to me, learn much of the streets were in gated communities. Found out fast as my first climb up Vera Cruz did but took a side gate to enter and continue up. The next street takes me to a closed road which I go under the chain, a very nice area with people hiking, goes by a nice pond. Will have to come back to check this area out now that I know where it is, Discovery Lake. Over to the dreaded Twin Oaks Valley climb. A cloudy cool day helps. My first area with a gate.

Also a telescope which I did ...
