Took out the digital camera for today's ride. Got some interesting shots:
The first is a sign I couldn't quite figure out.

Here is a shot of some palm trees. The seed pods are a bright orange and in the late afternoon sunlight really makes them stand out.

Perhaps the bike lane becomes available for parking outside those times?

The image is really pixelated... and actually becomes more pixelated as you go from top to bottom. I'm not sure if that was intentional. It does look kinda cool though.

I think it was a problem when I saved the picture to floppy.
Here's a tree that grows out over the road. Not sure what kind it is. A larch perhaps? :)

Now that the cold weather is here, I haven’t been riding as much as I should be. I lost my summer/fall goal and since the time changed haven’t had the incentive to do much more than 20 – 30 miles a week.
Yesterday (11/16) was a little warmer (45 c) and I thought of a new route I could try. That area used to be too hilly for me, but this year I have been looking for hills instead of avoiding them.
Well the ride was great! I did 50 miles with an average climb of 85 ft per mile. For me, this was a big jump in mileage specially with the added hills. I made sure I had the proper nutrition, stretched before and after and took a cool down walk after. Now it’s the next day and I still feel great – physically and mentally. The physical part surprises me – I used to be a little sore and tired after a big ride. I think that maybe I have the extras (nutrition, preparation, and follow-up) finally figured out for my body. Gota do more of this!

My husband and I live in the outskirts of San Diego. Unfortunately with all the wild fires all our beautiful hills have been burned. It's very sad to think some of the old oak trees may not recover, but given time everything will come back more beautiful then before. Yesterday after it rained in the morning we finally got a chance to go out for a short 2 hr. ride. We did see small glimmers of new grass shoots coming up through the ash which made me smile. :D
