Actually 5 of the miles above were due to me getting lost in Camp Pendleton. There was only one turn to negotiate in there and I got it wrong and after riding two and a half miles I started thinking, this is not the right direction.
It was a great day of riding today. Again, it was mostly urban riding. We went through Sunset Beach, Hunnington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Capistrano Beach, San Clemente, Camp Pendleton, Oceanside and Carlsbad. It is hard to believe that we only have 55 or so miles to get to the US/Mexico border.
One of the highlights of the day was I met up with my brother Kevin in Laguna Beach and we just sat on the beach and caught up a bit. I don't ever see them enough. It seems that he being in California, we just haven't seen each other as often as both of us would like.
I know you are getting tired of the beach and ocean scenes, but I guess that it what I am doing here, so here is a bit more that we saw today.
Laguna Beach homes. Saw a few more Rolls Royces parked along the street as well.
San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant. The plant currently is not running and is being decommissioned due to faulty equipment that caused it to be shut down and the unpopularity of nuclear power keeping it from being restarted.
Nice bike paths again today.
An old road converted into a bike path.
At Camp Pendleton, the only road other than that through the Camp is I-5, so the Camp allows bicyclists to ride through if a prior request has been made. We were told a month or so ago to get online and make the request. Camp Pendleton is in a pretty desolate place.
I thought this was something that you will probably only see once. Had to take two pictures.
We ordered in pizza for the evening meal, so that we didn't have to cook, etc. The group has a certain budget for food and I think they realize they have some budget left, so they are using it. Well, that's about it for the day. Good night.
