Day 5 (Thursday) we started out riding around Ocean Beach and then rode over the San Diego River, then over the bay to Mission Beach where we rode around some more and then back to Ocean Beach. Got quite a bit of riding in. In Ocean Beach we shopped around at some antique stores where I found a few old bicycle ads. We ate at a Greek Restaurant which was a nice change from all the Mexican food we’d been eating.
Thursday evening we went back to the old San Diego historic area where we ate Italian at Pizza Bella. After dinner we drove down to the the Maritime Museum and where the cruise ships dock.
Today (day 6) we left San Diego and drove up the coast on 101. Stopped to watch some Dolphins along the way. Just shy of LA we turned and headed East to go to Tempe, AZ. We’ve now driven almost all of the California coast except through LA. Somewhere in AZ we stopped for lunch and at an antique shop where I bought a Mickey Mouse phone.
Tonight somewhere around Phoenix we ate In N Out burgers in a WalMart parking lot. I’ve always heard these burgers were good and they are. We’re staying tonight and tomorrow night in Scottsdale. Tomorrow we’ll be attending the Tour De Fat in Tempe!
Below is a video from Thursday’s ride.
