Well, it was not exactly a commute, but I could enjoy this because I did commute by bike. Road to Coal Oil Point, then decided to see if my cross check with 23mm tires would we ridable on the damp sand at the beach. Tide was low enough that I was able to ride 2 miles to the west to the Bacarra hotel, then three miles back to the east to the stairs at the 6700 block of Del Playa in Isla Vista, CA. It was 70 degrees, very light breeze, plenty of beautiful scenery, and just a great way to spend lunch hour. Look forward to doing it again sometime.

Oh, the commute was great too, it has warmed up to mid 40s in the morning, and mid 60s for the ride home. Living the dream . . . . .
