Tired of gas station sandwiches or the potato chips you scarf down at 7-Elevens? This populaire is to celebrate that Cantonese noon time culinary decadence as our reward for completing a metric century endeavor. This populaire will be a counter-clockwise loop starting in Mira Mesa. You'll ride through the North County neighborhoods of Poway, Escondido, South Carlsbad, Encinitas and Del Mar, before heading back to Mira Mesa. On this route, the key places you'll ride by include Lake Hodges, Elfin Forest, the Kook, Torrey Pines and the Miramar National Cemetary.

After we finish, we'll enjoy a relaxing dim sum lunch at Golden Island Restaurant to make up for all the foul foods consumed at the various controls throughout our randonneuring lives. For some, the lunch may be more of an adventure than the ride. Significant others of randonneurs who may not care for the cycling but would like to indulge in this Cantonese dining experience are welcome to join after the populaire. Expect about $15-$20 per person, excluding any alcohol. For traditional dimsumneurs, we only drink tea during the meal.
