Alissa: And we’re back! I finished up my civic service for the good folk of Los Angeles County at the Pomona Superior Courthouse, so we loaded up our packs and set off for the border.
The day started like many bike rides Glen and I have taken: southbound along the beach path going through Marina del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and ending at the Redondo Beach pier. We’ve done this ride so many times that nothing was worthy of photographing since it was all just “normal” to us.
Our route then took us inland through Torrance and Carson, where we passed what at first looked like the Haribo bear.
We also rode through some lovely residential areas with great trees!
After crossing the 110 and 710, we rode along the LA River on the river bike path.
This took us into Long Beach, where the Queen Mary was off in the distance.
Finally we joined the beach path that took us along Bolsa Chica, Huntington Beach, and finally Newport Beach. Since I’ve spent loads of time on this path (as Newport holds a special place in the hearts of all Crans family members), I wasn’t inspired to take pictures as everything was just so familiar. The day ended by having dinner with my parents!
