>If all goes well, the new North County Transit Center's Sprinter train 
>[1] which connects Oceanside to Escondido (with stops in Vista and San 
>Marcos) will start running this Sunday. For my wife and me, Escondido is 
>terra incognita vis-à-vis bicycling as there is not a terribly easy 
>route to get there from here in Carlsbad, so we are excited about the 
>possibility of hopping onto one of those every half-hour trains with our 
>bikes [2] and doing some riding out there this spring. The train route 
>terminates at the Escondido Transit Center. Where can we find a list of 
>nice bike rides that start near there? And more importantly, where are 
>the good places to grab a good breakfast or brunch in that neck of the 
>woods?
