LA Bike Tour

I visited friends in Southern California for the weekend.  As typical for me, I had to include biking in the weekend activities.  They took me on their local mountain bike trails, which was a workout me.  I never sweated more in my life - and it was only about 6 miles.  YIKES!!

We also went on an organized bike tour of the LA area.  We joined a group of 10 on a 32 miles tour through eight LA cities.  It was unbelievable in more ways than one.  

1.) It was really cool to bike through the cities of Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Belair & Santa Monica.  The sights allowed me to forget about the hills we climbed.  

 2.) We biked on city streets, which was exhilarating in its own right with all the traffic.  I must say the car drivers were very polite and patient with us cyclist.

   


3.)It is always fun to bike on the beach path and along the Venice canals.

4.) We took the LA River Trail for a few miles.  Although, it was not very exciting, it is neat to bike near an area I see in the movies so often.    





I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting LA.  My friends have lived in LA all their lives and said we went to many areas they have never explored.
