Escape to California

Wile reaching sometimes below zero weather, far to early in the season, it became expedient for me to take an early trip to California. Visiting with family members and a 30 mile coastal bike ride would do the trick. It doesn't take long for me to get cabin fever, so after pulling out the two middle seats of the minivan we tossed in the bikes and a small bag of necessities and drove for 10 hours to southern California. The beach bike paths are often crowded with walkers, joggers, bikers, skateboarders, rollerbladers and anything else the imagination can conjure. Don't expect a fast ride. However, the views are amazing and the winter breezes have cleared out the smog. Catalina Island can be seen from every beach. The day ended with a sunset photo shoot on Laguna Beach. It was breathtaking!
