It's a beach view in city of Oceanside.
Sea is pretty calm.
It's not a good day for surfing or sailing.
But it's a great day for biking.
It's overcast and cool day, easy to cooling off body and dont get sweating 2 much.
Oceanside beaches have lots of Marines so they like posted flag shown they are here.
Oceanside harbor. The building is holiday inn, one of famous landmark in this Marines harbor city.
It's visible from freeway I-5.
There are many bike routes in Oceanside, so biker dont need fighting with street traffic.

I needs mroe energy.
Carlsbad is a beautiful beaches city.
Downtown area is make me feeling like in Europe.

Even the greeting city sign is in surboard shape.
Every city is welcome and greeting my visiting.
Finally reached La Jolla that mean San Diego downtown is with in one hour ride.
But It's getting dark and hard to finding street signs and following the map direction to SD.
Now, I am in the San Diego Amtrak station.

你現在是騎單車高手了
真厲害!
[版主回覆07/08/2009 18:11:14]thanks.. If I am biking 單車高手 you are hiking 高手....這樣的風景還是騎單車的人可以享受得到,我們開車的人只能遠觀,不能近賞。 [版主回覆06/28/2009 15:47:18]views from walking, biking, driving even on bus and train are all different. On bike is giving enough time to enjoy and still able moves in comfortable pace.. that is what I felt and thought.
Wow! You made it! Hooray for you!
