Since we're not doing the wednesday night rides for a while, we're back to doing our monthly rides to who knows where. First Sunday of December, we'll be making the trek from Riverside to the quaint city of Claremont. Once there, we'll split up and let people check out the shops or pubs etc. Meet-up at the Falconer at 11:00am and take off preferably around 11:30, or however long it takes to have a pint before hitting the road.

I'm often in Claremont for the weekends. I might have to join you guys for this.

Claremont is an interesting place. We'll probably have lunch over at Heros, if it's still there. Another cool place is the Folk Music Center. Ben Harper hangs out there all the time. I may need to pick up some more goat skins for my hand drums.

I went to school at Pomona College, and my girlfriend is finishing up there (which is why I still find myself there on occasion). Ben Harper's parents actually own the Folk Music center. You should also consider checking out Nick's Cafe (109 Yale) while you're there. I guess it was a big Mod hangout in the 80's.

So I hear. I've run into a few die hards that mentioned several places up there. Claremont reminds me of downtown fullerton in the OC.
