Met up with a bunch of people today in Delano, California for a ride to Pismo Beach, California. The map shows the route that I took.
The ride was a fund raiser for a guy at work that is fighting cancer.
The skies showed some threatening clouds, but the weather was absolutely fabulous.
Of course, if you go to Pismo you've got to have some clam chowder from Splash Cafe. This chowder has been voted the "BEST CHOWDER" on the Central Coast for many, many, many years.
Across the street from Splash is the "Famous Harry's Bar". Some people think that if you go to Pismo you have to enjoy a cold adult beverage in Harry's to make your trip complete.
Pismo Beach, looking North. The weather was perfect, mid 60's.
The Pismo Pier.
The grunion are running now on the Central Coast. These guy's were getting their quota.
Grunion are sardine-sized fish. They are found only off the coast of California, USA and Baja California, and Mexico. Grunion are known for their very unusual mating ritual. At very high tides the females come up on sandy beaches and dig their tails into the sand to lay their eggs. A male then wraps himself around the female to deposit his sperm. For the next ten days the grunion eggs remain hidden in the sand, but at the next set of high tides the eggs hatch and the young grunion are washed out to sea.

This guy was also getting his fill.
If you were inclined you could take a ride up and down the coast in this vintage bi-plane.
I think this coup is a kit car, looked like they were having fun.
