On the other side of this cliff (behind the camera) there is a spot where a bunch of people jump off the cliff into the water. It's fun but not too high. There are different spots to jump too ranging from 20-28 feet.

Was this taken @ the La Jolla Cove area?

Looks like La Jolla Cove doesn't it. But no, it's down at Sunset cliffs. On the weekends I like to ride with my brother from La Jolla to Sunset Cliffs along the coast. It's beautiful but once you get to the PB/ mission beach area the cars get progressively more dangerous.

That would've been my second guess :)
Seriously, at that angle it does LOL

I know, the picture is even fooling me now but I swear I didn't go to La Jolla that day. lol.

Ever jump into the Blow Hole in Woods Cove at Laguna beach? First time is sketchy, diving into and getting sucked down a coral lined black hole to nowhere? Once you are in though, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's a fun rush.

first day back on the fixed gear; feels so good. The wind and temperature were not helping today, only got a 13 mile ride in.

About ~50 mi this morning in 2:45 of ride time, 207w AP, about 2000kj's. Rode from my apt (Linda Vista, for all you S Diegans) up to Encinitas, and detoured through La Jolla/Bird Rock on the way back.

That's a nice ride, I don't know the bike route past La Jolla. Is there a lot of climbing or is it relatively easy? By the way, I'm terrible with abbreviations, whats w AP?

13 miles ain't bad. My rides have been that long recently because I've been riding with my brother who is new to bikes. It's a nice cruise. Cool pic too, crazy how the water is so close to the road.

I've lived in San Diego my whole life and have probably been up to LA 15 to 20 times but have never been to any of the beaches there or Hollywood, etc. That sounds crazy though, I might just have to check it out.

Past La Jolla, you take N Torrey Pines drive and then ride up hwy 101/1 up and down the coast. Torrey Pines is a mid-sized climb, will take 5:30-10' to climb depending on your ability. Besides that, it's fairly flat.

AP means average power, which is roadie/training talk. I know no one here cares about that business but I insisted on posting it anyway because 207w is hard effort for that duration, for someone of my size.

Gotcha. Well I might have to try that ride sometime soon.

I've been trying to average 20 miles a day to get back into the normal routine. It was 35 degrees & extremely windy today.
Its the Hudson river greenway. Its a nice ride, especially when its not too crowded.

LA? Laguna is southern OC. Close to you.

I guess in my mind LA is bigger than it really is. I always pictured LA as being from like Irvine all the way to Hollywood. I have family in Anaheim and when we were younger and traveled to their house we always called it LA. And what do you know, Irvine is just below Anaheim so it must be LA too right? lol.

Gahh, I don't leave San Diego much. I really need to get around.

I know what you mean. When I was a kid, going to Disneyland was a rare treat and it took us about Ten long torturous hours to get there. In truth it was only a 20 minute drive. LOL....but the wait was killin' me.

[MENTION=328380]Wspsux[/MENTION] murrellington is correct, its the Hudson River greenway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did a 20 mile ride today since the wind wasn't as bad, but it was just as cold. Also, I hurt my knee doing some Muay Thai, but I can still pedal.

Yea, I can see that now. I haven't braved the wind and cold that far up yet this year.
Looked like a nice day though.

PM if you ever want to go for a ride. I try to ride almost every day [weather permitting, i.e- not riding today]
