I'm an early riser by nature, and my hosts not so much. It was 59 degrees in LA at 7 AM. The high temperature at home was predicted to be 53 degrees. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I should get out there on my bike!
I decided to ride along the coast. I found Jefferson St to be 3 lanes of rather busy commuter traffic so I figured I'd ride the sidewalk in the early morning dim light. After just a few blocks I decided there was less risk to just turn on my rear blinkie and take the center of the right lane.
I turned right on the Pacific Coast Highway for just a few blocks to Balona Creek and followed the bike path to the ocean.
June Gloom came a bit early, the sky was grey but it was dry and the temperature was comfortable.
I was surprised to see that the bike path not only went to the beach, but actually proceeded right out onto the beach.
I imagine it takes a lot of maintenance to keep it clear of drifting sand.
I rode south along the beach for several miles. When I arrived at some power generation plants
I pedaled a bit farther and found some people out enjoying the morning.
I decided I should turn around. The team had plans to drive to Oceanside beginning at 10 AM, and I had dallied around enough that if I were to proceed any farther south I'd get late.
It was a fun ride and the last one I'll get for a few days.
