Ridin for Mexican...
Sunday was another beautiful California day! It was about 75, clear skies, and most importantly, a rockin tailwind. We're were invited out to my friend Yanah's family restaurant. Casa Trejo is in Yucaipa about 53 miles from my pad. Perfect. The plan was to head east,have a sag stop at the halfway point at Germ's house, an arrive at Casa Trejo by 5:00. Craig and I started out from Glendora and felt the tailwind right away. We were cruisin along around 20-25. 
One problem...
The traffic lights. I think we caught every single one from here to Fontana. You know how they say you shouldn't speed in you car becuse you'll catch every red light?
Well I think if you are going slower than traffic, ie bicycle speed, you catch all the reds as well. So, always ride as fast as you can.
We arrived at Germ's feeling pretty good. Germ's, ever the gracious host set us up with some ice water, granola bars, and chips. Or more importantly,hydration, carbs, and electrolytes.
It was a nice break but we had to get movin to make our 5:00 dinner bell. Just past Fontana, I was pleasently surprised by a smooth country road through rolling hills. I've never been through these parts before and promised myself to do some more exploring here. The final 7 miles was an easy climb up to the resaurant. Problem was, we already rode 46 miles and were feelin the effects. The last 3 miles was a GRIND.... We were both pretty happy to finally get there.
I was starved and started out with a nice Cadillac margarita before dinner... whoah...
Craig did the same. I got up to go to the bathroom and felt like Dean Martin trying to find his keys... I saw Craig get up and heard him chuckling to himself...Nothing like booze when you are drained and have an empty stomach...
Dinner came quick and I plowed through my Chipotle chicken.....yummo. One thing about Casa Trejo... they are not stingy on the spice. The salsa kicks. Real authentic mexican that makes me proud to be a Cailifornian.
