This morning I did the familiar 10 mile mountain ride in Daley Ranch. Here is a shot from all of Escondido from about 1,600 feet elevation. The city is at about 700 feet. This is where I came up from.

There are some very tranquil spots to sit and reflect. This is one of my favorite, way in  the back of the park, overlooking a large pond. Ducks and other wild life abound. I feel very fortunate that I can literally hike or bike from my front door to this spot in the wilderness in just an hour.

Here is a section of the trail. It’s not this smooth everywhere. There are some very steep rocky portions, where I didn’t take any photo. I was too busy pedaling and staying balanced.

And that was my Saturday morning in Southern California.
