[Foothill Cycle Club: 1773] Planning ahead: PV July 22

Hi all,

 

I'll be out of town for the next week or so and wanted to let you know about July 22.

The planned ride is Martha's PV Escape. Since Brian is on vacation, I'll lead.

There are some options on this ride, so I hope many of you will join.

I need to create a rwgps route and will do so when I return from Iceland (weekend of June 8-9).

 

Please ignore the options on the current cue sheet.

 

These are the new options:

  • Option 1: whole ride as planned; approx. 61 miles, starting in Culver City, Ballona Creek bike path to Playa Del Rey, beach bike path to Hermosa, road to Redondo Beach and PV peninsula (with hills). Stop in Malaga Cove after circumventing the peninsula (ie, after the climbing is done).
  • Option 2: shorten to about 47 miles by starting at the Playa del Rey bridge rather than in Culver City.
  • Option 3: flat ride from Culver City to Redondo Beach (about 42 miles; mostly on the beach bike path); stop on the way back in Hermosa.

I'll send more details when I get back.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Martha Sensel
