Today's Ride!

Woo! Today was something of a time-trial, because this week and the next couple weeks following I will be starting work at 1pm instead of 2pm. My class at Cypress gets out at noon, so that leaves just an hour to bike from Cypress to my work. I actually made it in good time, and still had time to go through in-n-out on the way! (grabbed a burger to-go). Here's a map of the overall route (for those of you who are interested in such). All told, (not including my pending ride home from work) it's about 17 miles. (c: That doesn't sound like very much anymore.

  • this post touched a nostalgia nerve… I used to ride my bike all over - starting in jr high (I once biked from La Mirada to West Covina to visit a friend when I was in 8th grade!)I especially liked the hills in whittier, la habra, and fullerton, but also took advantage of the bike path down the san gabriel riverbed (that's how I discovered 'Valley Christian HS' in Cerritos and ended up going there.) For a while I commuted once or twice a week to CSUF from La Mirada- but I didn't much like arriving just barely in time for class and all sweaty…

  • Here's the ride I took today, it took me a bit longer but there are some long hills that I took a bit slower.

    It's not quite right, Google doesn't recognise all of the little paths around, such as the canal towpath that I took a lot of the way back.

  • These are nice bike posts! Fun to see your maps. I like doing a little "light" bike riding on bike paths, such as at the beach or the new one in Whittier. It's going to have a grand opening soon, and they're finishing all the landscaping, which is really pretty! I think it goes about 6 miles total, including some nice bridges. It feels good to have the wind in your hair!
