Thanks for all the input.

+1 on locking the bike. I had given that some thought. Bus instructions ask you to remove any pumps or bags that may fall off (stolen?)

As stated above, there really isn't a convenient station for me to take a train from. I would basically ride from about El Dorado Park to Bolsa Chica (9 miles) and then catch the bus. Then it's just a 40 mile ride back home (depending on where I disembark). I guess it's up to me to jump in with both feet and give it a try sometime soon.

I did take the train down to San Diego one and then took 2 days to ride back home but that was a whole lot of years ago. I do enjoy the train. I just need to see how I can fit it into my current riding schedule.

Edit: I did just check and the Fullerton Amtrak station is only 12 miles from my house. I think I'll give that a look too.
