Those pics look a lot like my ride today around the Newport Beach Back Bay in So Cal. I got sun burned today because it was hot and dry, but I guess it is better than frost bite.

First one looks like the top of Torrey Pines hill heading down to torrey pines state beach (North), the 2nd one is any random beach here, the last is descending down to torrey pines state beach (South) to the bottom of the torrey pines hill. Just a guess.
A little toasty today. I'm doing that route tomorrow am (Mira mesa to Oceanside Harbor and back).

I'm too scared of sharks to ride by the sea. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. It's the thought that counts.

Here's my version of that ride. Wussed out on Torrey and just did Sorrento Valley Blvd home (9-11% but short although it doesn't feel like that after 55 miles). Intended to get more but hooked up with an impromptu train and milked it.

Del Mar (actually on the way back):
