I don't know about bike shops, but I do know that Stone Brewery is in Escondido.

Mid-week after work ride would be a different answer than no work...

La Costa in Carlsbad, Daley Ranch in Esco are probably the closest...but there's also San Clemente Single Tracks in San Clemente and some others (ex: San Juan, etc).

There's also Lake Hodges and Calavera.

How far are you willing to drive and what type of trails (difficulty) do you think you'd like to ride?

sdyeti....I may be down for a later in the day ride. I just need a guide.
Blue Rat..I'll ride anything. I'm not a super strong climber. I enjoy technical/flowy/freeride trails ( but who doesn't?) I'm really down for anything. I just know I wanna ride. It kills me to go on Vaca and not ride local trails.

Give a holler once you're in town and I'm sure we can set something up. Oh, I'm a former east coaster also (New York).

I've got a Trek fuel EX 6 in a 19.5 inch frame might be a little to big. You could Try it; maybe someone else might chime in.

Gleeke: I'm gonna hook you up.
