Hey, guess what? I finished my first 40 miler today (4-8-06) through the South Bay. There were about 13 of us (I think). We started at Bike Attack, a cycle shop in Santa Monica and a big ALC sponsor, and rode along the beach and some side streets through: Santa Monica, Venice, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach to Palos Verdes (and all those other cities in between). Our mid point and where we took our break was at the base of Palos Verde, in Malaga Cove (see picture). The whole ride was gorgeous! We saw the ocean, surfers, volleyball players, the UCLA rowing team competing, a hang gliding class, tons of sail boats, and the beautiful So Cal coast. The day was sunny and absolutely perfect for a bike ride. The people I rode with were fun, friendly and I saw some familiar faces. For those of you wondering, yes my foot is still attached. It was really hurting me by the end of the ride. (FYI, that is not my bike in the photo.)
