A few local San Diego-area scooterists are meeting at Bates Nut Farm for their special Saturday breakfast, offered 3rd Saturday of each month. Bates Nut Farm is located in lush Valley Center, not far from Palomar Mountain and Lake Henshaw.

A beautiful mountain morning ride, fellow like-minded scooterists, and a country breakfast with pastries, coffee, and fruit....all for three bucks. What's not to like?

Gasp! Those boots!! I've been scouring for a pair of those Doc's with the flowers and can't find them anywhere... even eBay. Anyway you could provide a point in the right direction?

Oh, and the ride looks great too, especially the bit with the baby goats

I havent been back since.

I CAN recommend the newly re-opened Rainbow Oaks Inn though, on Old Hwy 395. A bit closer in, great food and close to some great riding; Palomar Mt., Borrego, Wine Country, etc.

Of course its nice to add some diversity to the parking lot by arriving on a scooter since a lot of the Swing Inn's regular clientele are headed there now that its open.
