    HippyOnaBike:A Tijuana-bound peloton of indeterminate size will cruise down Mission Bay Dr. at ~5pm with legs spinning fast to get us to Mission in time for face paint. This is the aforementioned BRCR'/UCSD contingent (hippy+dstone+maybe others?)


    Sweet. See you guys at the brewery.

    Have fun. I will do it some day!

    ^^ Good job leading the stragglers down, Velocafe. Thanks for the paint job, too.

    And thank you VeloCafé for painting my face on and making sure that the ride home didn't leave the slowpokes (me) behind. Loved the route through neighborhood streets before the bike path section - I always make a beeline through the busy bits and wind up hating humanity, but the route was perfect and the company of 9 (including the random guy we picked up in National City who enjoyed our company enough to hang around with us) was perfect.

    The TJ ride was also excellent! Small crowd from the Mexico side. Enjoyed the tour past graveyards though!

    What a great time! Thanks to VeloCafé for leading us from Mission Brewing to the border, and thanks to Arturo and the rest of the TJ crew for leading a great Paseo de Todos!

    It was nice to see what a ride like this could be like (versus San Diego Critical Mass) when there is good leadership, corking to stop traffic at busy intersections, and stopping to regroup at various intervals to make sure no one gets left behind. I'm looking forward to doing this ride again at some point.

    Here are some photos from last night:

    It was my pleasure - love seeing a great turnout for Paseo and hearing that people enjoyed their time cycling in TJ. Already counting down the days to December 7th. =)

    It's that time again! December means it's Navidad time for Paseo de Todos. Decorate your bike and spreat the cheer! Besides that, look at past months for more details. In a nutshell...
    We meet at Mission Brewery (14th/L St.). Leaving at 6:00 so that we don't freak if someone gets a flat. Th
    at gets us to the start point in time to get something to eat. Travelling 15-20mph (last month's average was 16.7) is the conversational rate. If this seems fast, the trolley will take you to the border, where you can meet with the group. The speed in Tijuana is much slower. Guesstimate the speed at 5-10mph. Afterward we usually grab some tacos, however tamales may be more in line with the holidays, then ride across the border and split back into the trolley/riding groups for the return.
    Figure 15mi there, 15mi in TJ, and 15mi return. We do it every month, and (except for that one time) nobody has been decapitated and flaunted on FOX news. See you on Friday. You'll have aq great time AND have something interesting to talk about at the company ChristmasHoliday Party this year!

    Bump - tonight!

    I found here is a smartphone app showing expected wait times at the border crossing (vehicles and pedestrians): Not as cool as a sentry card, perhaps - but worth a shot!

    Just a "bump" to remind everyone about Paseo this Friday. jacobk asked me earlier if there was a theme for this months ride as there have been several lately that were. No themes for January BUT if you're brave enough to cycle in just a big ole diaper as the 2013 New Years Baby I'm sure you'll get some cheers. Yes, the thought crossed my mind to do it but it's too dang cold and no one wants to see ALL THAT!

    While Christian Americans enjoy a big celebration on Christmas Day, Christians in Mexico have their celebration on El Dia de los Reyes (Three Kings Day, or Epiphany). This holiday is celebrated twelve days after Christmas on January 6th. It commemorates the day the Three Wise Men (Melchoir, Gaspar, and Baltazar) arrived in Bethlehem to bring gifts to baby Jesus. An option to wearing a diaper would be to possibly dress as one of the Magi.
    In the past, everyone is asked if they could chip in a few dollars to help pay for the King cakes that are enjoyed after the ride.
    Same ol' thing... we meet at Mission Brewing (14th/L) for a 6pm departure. This gives us time for flats, WC breaks, and if all runs smooth, Tacos y cerveza before the ride.

    Maybe a robe and crown will be in order =) Or just some burning incense. I won't be staying long after the ride this time and will be booking back to SD at high speed to try and get some sleep/rest before the Alpine Growler ride Satruday morning.

    Do you need a passport to cross the border?
    • CommentAuthorVeloCafé
    • CommentTimeJan 3rd 2013
     
    Ideally, yes you need a passport. However, as a US Citizen you can't be denied entry to the country. So if you don't have a passport bring as much ID as you can to prove you're a citizen. Expect to be held for awhile so they can verify your citizenry and possibly even be referred to secondary screening.

    Thanks.

    I think I'll bite the bullet and fill out the renewal form instead. I've been putting it off for a year.

    Heading down tonight (Feb1) after a meeting that gets out at 6:30. I'll probably just drive the church bus to the border and meet everyone at the arch (or tacos nearby) as to not miss the 8:00 launch.

    Group leaving Mission Brewery at 6pm again tomorrow? I should be there.

    I would like to join this ride. What is the pace and distance from the brewery?

    Taking off from Mission Brewery, just as the sun sets. Leaving at 6 gives us plenty of time to get something quick to eat before the Tijuana portion departs the arch just after 8. More riding than you're up for, or 6pm doesn't fit your schedule? The trolley will drop you off at the border, and you can ride up with the group to San Diego, or bring the trolley back up. Either way, it's a fun monthly ride.
    From the Brewery to the arch in TJ we like to keep a 15mph pace. this gives us time for flat (an extra tube is suggested. You may never need it, but someone else might) and whatever, without stressing it. If there aren't any problems, we get there in time for tacos beforehand. Distance=16mi from Mission to the arch. Temporarily, my mobile number is 619.846.1706. Looking forward to seeing new faces joining us every month!
  25.  
    I think I will be meeting you guys at the border, not sure I will be able to keep up with you guys on my cruiser.

    Our monthly group ride to Tijuana is quickly upon us again!
    Meeting at Mission Brewing (14th/L) trying for that 6pm departure. Riding down there in the daylight is a treat, this time of year, and the ride back afterward is fantastic, with there being so few cars on the road. Trolleying there and back is an option as well. See Facebook for info on options and details.

    Today will be TAILWINDS all the way south. Like last month, I will hop on the trolley while the rest of the crew crossover to TJ.
