What did you do on Saturday?

I am in LA for the weekend and thought it would be fun to rent a bike and ride along the beach. I have done this many times before, however this would be the first time I would take on this kind of journey. My goal was to start at the Redondo Pier (as seen above) and ride to Santa Monica Pier. Sounds easy right? Did I make it all the way? How long was this ride? Find Out below!!

Redondo Beach Pier

The start of my Journey.
I look so convinced I am up for this challenge, don't I?


The next Pier is Hermosa Beach.
They have a really good breakfast place in there.
And No, I did not stop to eat.
(you think you know me so well)


This is the site where they filmed Baywatch.
Sorry no slow motion lifeguard shots!


Mahantan Beach
Site of this huge volleyball tournament.
There must of been close to a half million people there.
It was crazy!! Looked like lots of fun though.


Then I rode past the Marina Del Rey.
Spotted this Yacht. Can you see the helicopter on top?
Man, I wish I knew someone on that boat.


Santa Monica Pier
I made it!!
See the proof below.

So I made it to the end, WOW.
What's that? Now I have to do it all over again and go back to Redondo Pier

So I eventually, do make it all the way back to where I had started.
I asked the lady who was cashing me out, Do you know how far it is
from Redondo to Santa Monic Pier? She said I do.......
19 miles
Wait, 19 miles one way?
YUP
So my little bike ride adventure turned into a 38 mile bike ride.
All I have to show for this adventure is the pics above the the sunburn on my arms!!


So What did you do on Saturday?

We didn't do anything that cool! Oh boy, would Mike have loved to have been with you. Not me.
I'd be the one sitting in the recliner by Dustin, drinking an iced tea or somethin'...

We visited Jason in the hospital. He has viral meningitis and is really sick.
