When I reached the beach I rode south through Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach & Redondo Beach. Along the way there were all of the sights that you would expect to see on a Baywatch rerun.
Last night we found a open air beer garden restaurant that we couldn't pass up. "Rock & Brew" had a great European beer garden vibe with the community seating and families. The place was packed and the food (and brew) was great. Since we are in California we opted for the BLA pizza. Bacon , Lettuce, Avocado with caramelized onion....when in Rome.
Later today we have our bike inspections and we will meet all the other riders for the first time. We will have a banquet tonight with riders and guests and tomorrow, Mothers Day, at 5:30 we will have team breakfast and hit the road.
Today already feels like Christmas Eve when I was 8 years old and I know that I will be awake all night looking at the clock in anticipation of the gifts awaiting me.

No one from SoCal would even notice the dude with the surfboard rack on his bike much less stop him to take his picture. Tourists!
ReplyDeleteThe weather looks like it did for us in March when we drove down to board the cruise ship. We spent our first night at Venice Beach and shivered walking out on the pier after our dinner.
ReplyDeleteHave a great first day...and I look forward to reading your posts!
You hit my home town(s)!!! Manhattan, Hermosa, & Redondo. Rock and Brew...WooHoo! And you can officially say you've been to "El Stink Gundo". LOL As for Riverside, yuk! But you'll get through it, and it will soon be a memory.
ReplyDeleteCA & Avacados = synonymous :-)
"DREAM BIG"...right on! Keep up the challenge.
