K and I went to a Solana Beach restaurant I ride by all the time to celebrate our 41st anniversary last night.

These custom beach cruisers were parked near our table on the patio.

Just as we sat down, a bird (gull?) flying overhead let loose through a narrow gap between 2 canopies. Talk about precision bombing! Our table, both menus, my jacket and hat, and K's hand all took substantial hits.

After the cleanup, we had a great meal.

Someone had some fun with some junk.

Loved this Roomba lawn mower mowing the pristine green lawn. it was at least two acres or more.

Machine abuse pure and simple, just as making your teenage kid push the mower.

My solo Tour de Carlsbad is running concurrently with the Tour de France. From yesterday's hilly Stage 4...
;^}

Fans along Encinitas Creek on the way to another brilliant stage win.

Did what no pro could ever do: I loafed. Stopped here to ogle the ENE skyline — a distant and very faint Palomar Mountain (6,142 ft) on the left, Double Peak (1,645 ft) at right center atop the much closer San Elijo Hills.

Planning a stage with a tough summit finish on Double Peak. The last 2 miles up steepen from 10% to 20%, but you're amply rewarded with a stunning 360° view of the mountains and coast from the greater LA area to Mexico.

I am a lucky to see this changing viewpoint on my backyard ride (looking from Belmont area, looking West towards Half Moon Bay), the route start normally was 3 miles from house (freeway, main road intersections take about 20 mins riding my other bike.). my Creo allows me to ride from my house to this mellow road ride.

maybe I posted in the wrong section...I am new here

Beautiful view across Crystal Springs Reservoir! Those Bay Area fogfalls over coastal ridges never get old — as long as you're watching from afar and not chilled to the bone inside.

No worries — not always clear which of our 3 main photo threads is the best fit for a given post. And no one cares much anyway. This thread's used more for unusual stuff seen on rides, as the title implies. But most places don't have frequent fogfalls, and you ride there, so might as well post them here.

However, if that's not unusual enough: The miles-long chain of narrow straight-line valleys flooded by the reservoir is the surface trace of the San Andreas Fault. So you're biking on the North American plate and looking across to the Pacific plate as it scrapes by on its way to the Aleutian trench.
