I rode out near Costco for lunch today. After eating and a dip into Costco for a single item I rode down to Coal Oil Point to enjoy the day. The left image above is the cross at Coal Oil Point and the second from left is a view west along the coast overlooking the Snowy Plover Preserve.
The two images on the right are an interesting glitch to the day. Returning alongside the Deveroux Slough I decided to ride the dirt trails surrounding the north and west of the slough and on over to locate the monarch butterflies. Alas, as I started down the path shown in image three a stick kicked up and rammed my speedometer sensor into the brake. In all the years I’ve cycled I’ve never had such an occurrence. Image four is the Rambouillet on its back allowing me to fiddle around and fix the problem.
After the repair it was back on track to find the butterflies. Clicking on the play button below will give you a nice idea about the wonderment of the day. All this made possible by having a cell phone along, yeah 2010.
