The route today: Santa Monica to Claremont
I left the house of my Warmshowers.org host at 7 and rode back to the Santa Monica pier for more pictures and "Start" of the great adventure. Note: a lot fewer people on the pier first thing in the morning as compared to yesterday afternoon.
I then headed out for full breakfast. After breakfast I was "On The Road Again" The route was OK and the car traffic was courteous. No issues except for all of the traffic lights. Seamed like I was getting up to a comfortable cruising speed RED LIGHT. again and again and again... Several of the streets I traveled on have No Parking signs for morning and evening commuting times but parking was allowed on weekend days which helped because I had a good sized bike late to travel in
The first Route 66 sign I saw was in West Hollywood
There were many more Route 66 signs once I was east of Arcadia
Looking north. The smog.
After a long day on the road I arrived at my destination. I'm staying with another Warmshowers.org host Carole and Wen Aldrich in Claremont, CA.
Very Cool! Love all the pictures
ReplyDeleteNot even out of California and you had pizza and breakfast. Are riding to eat or eating to ride?
ReplyDeleteHey Bob! It was a super surprise to run into to you today. Glad to see you are still riding seeing the last time I saw you was almost 30 years ago! Be sage out there! ;-)
