Any idea why that route was chosen, or by whom?

Many of the other roads in the Rancho Santa Fe area are like that bad stretch of Rancho Santa Fe Road, just nowhere near as busy. I think several of the group regulars and old-timers live in that area, and that's just what they're used to.

But the roads closer to my house are way safer, and that's what I'm used to.

Fair enough/understood.
In scouting out a route for my son to commute to a new work location I took a route that had us on a "way too busy" section. Thankfully it was short, but we both instantly knew it was never to be repeated.

Speaking of scouting possible routes, I really like to know the bike infrastructure situation in advance.

For anyone interested, the most reliable way I've found to scout infrastructure is to look for myself using satellite view in Google Maps, RideWithGPS, etc. Plenty of resolution to zoom in as needed. You can even see surface type, gates, etc.

At least here in coastal SoCal, it's rare to find places where the map imagery is out of date .

Guilty as well.

We had hail and thunderstorms yesterday. Today started off gray and damp in the mid thirties, but turned into this just in time for me to get out of work early and enjoy the afternoon.
