My favorite place to ride had been made into an incredible trail system in my absence which was wonderful because riding off the property in Fallbrook was no longer possible. Santa Margarita River Trails is one of best places in San Diego County to ride. I ride, hike, and... Full story

That would be a tragedy to hikers, bird watchers, bikers, and equestrians. We need to preserve this open space for future generations. Kathy Cooksey...
