Day Four - so far...


Today's ride took us back up from Lake Elsinore to San Bernardino. Along the way we stopped at an orange grower for the second time on this trip. The reason we stopped in was they had the BEST fresh orange juice for sale that we had ever had. It was a perfect reason to take a break from a hot day of riding.

One very important stop today was at the Inland Empire Brewing Company. They have only been open since February, but are already establishing themselves in Riverside. Our very welcoming tour guide mentioned that they are breaking new ground because they are the only brewery around. Local lawmakers don't know what to do with them because they aren't a bar, and they aren't a restaurant.


They currently have four beers available and all lean toward the British style of beer - blonde, pale ale, brown, and IPA - they were all great representations of the style. You can pick up a half or full growler of their beer, or you can hang around and talk about starting up a brewery over a sampler.

We arrived at our hotel in plenty of time and were even able to take a swim before hitting up some fantastic Thai food at a local restaurant. So delicious.

Soon we'll be off to the ballpark for the fourth game this week.

Miles today - 45
Trip total - 306
