SART open again

Last Sunday, Amber and I rode my Anaheim to Oceanside permanent. We rode the SART from the ARTIC inland to Lakeview. The city has created a temporary diversion while they remediate the main path. Other riders I spoke to said the entire SART is open. Amber and I have planned a night ride next weekend to see if they are locking the gates at night.

The weather was perfect as we climbed over Santiago Canyon but unfortunately this meant that Cook's Corner was crowded so we continued riding to some grotty little gas station at mile 40. There's a pizza place just 1/4 mile down the road - we'll try that next time.

Alisal Creek bike trail is always a blast.

Out favorite coffee shop in San Clemente has gone out of business so we went to Ellie's Table and had iced coffee and macaroons. Very nice.

The soldier on guard at Camp Pendleton asked if my camera was recording. I told him "No Recording!". He didn't have a sense of humor.

Because we didn't stop at Cook's Corner we had plenty of time to chat at Angelo's. We split one of their huge Greek salads and still left most of it. Weird because we hadn't eaten much,

Around 4:30 we headed over to the Amtrak station and waited for the train.

When we got back to Anaheim we were hungry so we split clam chowder fries, blackened chicken poorboy, and bread pudding at the Cajun restaurant at the train station. Very good.
