Mike's Bagels and Coffee House, Oceanside

To fill out my Bagel Rides table, I added a 28th bagel ride to Mike's Bagels & Coffee House. I got the cranberry bagel because Einstein Bros discontinued them, and it was delicious. They didn't have fountain drinks or Coke Zero but I had a Peach Ice Tea Diet Snapple in a glass bottle which was even better. The service was slow because they only had one person at the register but the delicious bagel made up for it.

The ride was quite lopsided--27 miles to Mike's Bagels and only 5 miles back home. But it worked out fine. Stats and route are below.

BCB Cafe, Hillcrest

BCB Cafe in Hillcrest was my last bagel ride and it was a good one. The weather was sunny and in the 70s--thank goodness the Santa Ana winds didn't start blowing yet. The Cafe is nice: they had a soda fountain machine, a bathroom, and I was able to find outdoor seating at a sandwich shop next door. The bagel was good but not great.

It turns out my bike odometer showed 2995 miles about five miles from the end of the ride so I watched it for the last five miles hoping to break the 3,000 mile mark on my last bagel ride. And I did it with a tenth of a mile to spare!

Route and stats are below.

P. L. Bagels, Point Loma Heights

This was my second last bagel ride and it wasn't great. It rained lightly for the first 30 minutes or so but that was okay because it cooled me off. The rest of the ride was fine but the bagel shop was one of the worst for a bagel ride.

The people at the shop were nice and quick with the service, but everything else was substandard: no outdoor seating, no air conditioning inside, soda only in cans, no bathroom, and the bagel was just average.

On the plus side, they sold Gatorade so I got one for the ride home.

Hopefully the last bagel ride shop is a good one so I can finish off on a positive note.

Route and stats below.
