No ferries, cars or planes. About 400 miles by Amtrak and 280 miles by bike. Several hills. After a good blueberry muffin, fruit and a double expresso headed East again. Through La Jolla and the wonderful 425 ft climb up Torry Pines Road (appa...

BSSC Jane and Dennis. Cardiff by the Sea

Excellent day! Easy ride through Pendleton - expected it to be more hilly - and then onto Oceanside. Called Dennis and Jane and met them for lunch and then off to the races at Del Mar. Jane has had a box in the family since 1937. Seems to know ...

Huntington Beach. Surfboards, beach cruisers, joggers, high end carbon bikes; about five miles of public space sand. Oatmeal at Jamba Juice. Quite good. No coffee here but cold water seems better. The flatness abruptly ends and the PCH starts t...

Pretty ride to Redondo Beach and then the climb over Palas Verdes. Well graded ride - surprisingly enjoyable. Good I warmed up first with the beach ride. Rolling but doable hills continue along the spectacular cliffs. Golf courses and gated co...

Noon, Malibu, and just finished an excellent pulled pork sandwich, with two bottle of snapple, and then a double iced expresso at Starbucks; earned it. Got an early start as today is another warm one. The first leg is along Port Hueneme road. M...

BSSC. Port Hueneme

nobody@vox.com(Boog) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:40:32 -0700

Early morning ride through Santa Barbara and south. Does not get much better. Many joggers, pelatons, and bikers. Far fewer homeless and displaced than one would expect to see in a wealthy area with perfect weather. Ride is mostly right on the...

BSSC. Through Vandenberg

nobody@vox.com(Boog) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:01:32 -0700

Vandenberg air force base abutes the coast for a significant distance, and time on Amtrak. There are no public roads through here and I suspect one cannot approach the coast by boat. The only way to see this section (lthe track runs within a 1...

BSSC Amtrak departue

nobody@vox.com(Boog) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:18:55 -0700

It is disgusting the state of our trains. From Palo Alto to San Jose by Cal Trans. Tracks so bad (express) that I could not read even with high powered readers. More shaking on this short route than the total shaking across Canada or Japan or E...
