In order to beat the heat and the people, we were on the San Luis Rey trail before 7:00am.
I so love riding along the river. Birds are super active so early.
Most of the birds are NOT in cages.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife along with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife are surveying the least Bell's vireo and the southwestern willow flycatcher.
The little note at the bottom about them checking the traps every day is true. Eric has seen them out on several occasions.
The whole San Luis Rey river is a protected habitat.
Someone should probably tell the homeless that are always camped out in the bushes. I mean, it is a great place to be a hobo, but it isn't the best for the environment.
My favorite part is going under the bridges.
Neerrroooommmm.
In order to support our local restaurants we went to Petite Madeline Bakery after our 9 mile ride. They just received their government money and were able to open back up this weekend.
Looks clean to me!
You don't walk in but order at a window outside.
Wait for it...
The All Day Buns are divine.
Bikes and buns... what a great day!
Your gifs are great. I love the flying birds and Eric taking the 'turn'. WOW. What a glorious day, too. We learned about the Least Bell's Vireo and the San Luis Rey when we did our last road trip. That is one historical and interesting river.
ReplyDeleteThe "wait for it" and then the All Day Buns appearing. Oh my. It makes me want to come to Oside just for Madeline's.
Thanks for the armchair travels. So fun.
You should for for the buns, and stay for a ride!
