Day on the Ride (68 miles)
by Matthew on Apr.18, 2009, under Training Ride
On April 18, 2009 I did a training ride from Santa Monica to San Pedro via Palos Verdes. The ride is called Day on the Ride, and is designed to simulate what a Day on the Ride will be like, including starting early (6:30a arrival), and over 350 riders. We started at Bike Attack in Santa Monica, rode down to the top of Palos Verdes, then into San Pedro for lunch, back through Palos Verdes, and back. Part of it was having staff/stocked rest stops at the 18, 24 (top of Palos Verdes), 36 (lunch at Point Fermin Park), and 46 mile points.
This was an interesting route, it’s the first time I’ve used this particular route to Palos Verdes (mainly in the section through the Beach cities), and had some very good views. I also realized that I need to make a point of taking pictures at various point, the album is here with comments.
