I Love LA!!!
Yeah, it is winter, but its hard to tell in Los Angeles. With temperatures reaching the 80 degree mark, there’s no better cycling weather. If the great weather wasn’t enough, L.A. also has great recreational road and off-road trails. I can ride 3 of the river trails from the mountains to the beach, most of the river trails are safe and well mantained. As for off-roading goes, the Santa Monica Mountains offer great trails. Ride down to Orange County, and the selection of off-road and on-road riding really adds up. Heck, one of our favorite off-road trails is nestled in the heart of Fullerton.
Today I took a little ride to the beach with 3 of my road riding friends, we wanted to start riding again so we can start getting in shape. We put on a few pounds thanks to those great Holiday feasts. When we arrived at Seal Beach, we sipped on some great coffee and some muffins while we discussed our riding goals for the year.
My goals are:
1. Commute by bike to work more often
2. Ride more charity rides
3. Ride the Mt Sac race and beat RL.
4. Ride with my wife and kids as often as I can.
So if you live in LA, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t ride a bike!

Can’t argue with you about the weather! I’ve been enjoying my rides especially when I don’t have to bundle up.
But as far as Mt. Sac, I’m sure you’ll give me a run for my money!

Yeah… It was difficult. I had 2nd and 3rd thoughts of not riding trying to avoid any physical pain. Thanks to Moi we got out and well worth the ride this weekend. See ya on the next one.
Nice Pic’s!!
