Woodies at Doheny State Beach

I had my normal breakfast – juice, coffee, corn flakes and English muffin. We got on the road at 9:00 passing first through Doheny State Beach. This was fun because there was a rally of woodies there. There must have been 100 of them. They were all in great restored condition and were attended by grey-haired men living in the past.

Riding south, we following an excellent, well-marked bicycle route through San Clemente, a bicycle route through San Onofre State Beach, a well-marked bicycle route through Camp Pendleton and ended up in Ocenside harbor for lunch. It was a beautiful day and a bunch of us ate lunch in an outside patio overlooking the harbor.

Mission San Luis Rey - Ed McFadd, Jacque Smith, Edie Baxter

After lunch, we rode to Mission San Luis Rey after stopping at a Mexican bakery for some sweets. Then we headed to our hotel, the Carlsbad Inn and Beach Resort in Carlsbad. I arrived around 3:00.

For dinner tonight, nine of us went to Paon, a California restaurant with a French influence. I had a beet salad with candied walnuts and roasted pork shoulder with crispy spaetzle. Both were excellent.
