January 1 2003– An energetic group of about 30 headed out of Deerfield Park New Year's morning. We took the Los Aliso Trail down to Alicia, cut through the Laguna Niguel Regional park past the peaceful fishing lake and over to Crown Valley Parkway, riding down to Camino Del Avion to a bike trail along side a golf course and out to Salt Creek Beach at the Ritz Carlton.

From there we braked hard down Cove Street into Dana Point Harbor then over to Doheny Beach and using the San Juan Creek trail we reached our lunch destination of San Juan Capistrano for a delicious lunch at The Depot.
