Day 27: Manhattan Beach, CA to Dana Point, CA

10/6/2013

Riding solo again for the home stretch, I'll carefully avoid wrong turns and wind through city streets in Torrance, Carson, and Long Beach. Back on the Pacific, it's, likely to still be crazy in Huntington & Newport Beaches. Laguna Beach is a great stop to unwind before rolling into Dana Point for the night after my last 60-miler.

Such a different vibe early in the morning - cool breeze, quiet, and yes....calm!

Enjoying my coffee and bagel from this spot - so totally back in the zone, I just might hang here awhile

Jumped into the Hermosa Beach Triathlon, took off my shirt, and won the Canada to Mexico Division

Another cool beachfront town with a great boardwalk

I'm never going to get to....where am I going again?
Picture
These boardwalks offer great views and better people watching
Picture
Look ma, no hands!

No time to drop a line, I have to turn inland for awhile
Picture
I suspect I'll be making up some time in this neighborhood

Getting on the Los Angeles River Bike Path - WAIT....THIS IS A RIVER??

The Queen Mary and a Carnival Cruise ship in Long Beach

A little early for lunch so I guess I'll have to each lunch twice - first time from this seat at the Yardhouse in Long Beach

These guys and gals were haulin' A

Trying to remember who jinxed me and asked if I'd had any flats yet? Whoever it was, you spoiled my no hitter with two out in the 9th
Picture
It's really a great day here - warm & hardly any smog
Picture
That's what I have, "Old Speed"
Picture
Jeff from Laguna Beach Cyclery sparing me the dirty work when I re-flatted. These guys rock. Lubed me up, adjusted my chain, and they have the most bad ass sound system on the West Coast

Dana Point, my destination

    On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

    On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.  
    While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement.  I'm going to need all the help I can get!

    For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.  

    If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.


    If you'd like to contact me personally, you can email me at Jeff.fredericks@outlook.com
