Before leaving Oceanside, I rode to the harbor for breakfast at the Beach Break Cafe. The four egg Greek omelet, coffee, and fresh squeezed tangerine juice is just what I needed to get a jump start for a late departure to San Elijo State Beach campground.
I finally got on the road out of town at 11:30 am. Taking Pacific Street for several miles parallels Highway 1 and reconnects approaching Carlsbad. The highway route to San Elijo is fairly easy with small hills, moderate to wide shoulders, and scenic vistas next to the Pacific.
In Leucadia, my attention was drawn to a small boutique bakery, the Foodie Amour, which professed to use all natural ingredients, no preservatives. I sampled several of their cookies and was smitten. The bakers had great recipes and knew their craft.
After passing several beaches and the town of Encinitas, I arrived at my destination in mid-afternoon. It was the same scenario -- a long campground sandwiched between the ocean on one side and Highway 1 and Amtrak on the other. The sounds of the surf were superimposed with the highway traffic and an Amtrak train every hour. This seemed to be a popular campground. It was almost full. I was the only biker camper this night My campsite was exposed and it was windy with dark clouds on the horizon. Rain was in the forecast. My plan is to leave early to arrive in San Diego before the foretasted rain starts.
Across from the San Elijo State Beach Campground, after crossing Coast Highway, I discovered the excellent Cardiff Seaside Market grocery store and deli. A Starbucks was located next door.
