Coastal rides provide the freedom to just ride north as far as you feel like, and then turn around. Here is another coastal ride, that turns around at La Costa, which is at the northern border of Leucadia and the southern border of Carlsbad. If you go straight on La Costa, you can ride Elfin Forest, which is the route that Swami's does. If you continue north along the coast, you can ride to Oceanside.
