Off-Road Ride to Sunset Beach

Mark Knaeps has a son in Boy Scouts, too; that’s how we met. We teamed up to get a bunch of the boys through Cycling merit badge. He emailed last week looking for a pedaling partner for a lunch time ride, with one condition.

Not everyone wants to ride in traffic and most days that’s my choice, too, so when Mark set these guidelines for our lunchtime ride I knew just where to go. We’d meet at the Newport pier then pedal the bike lane on Seashore to the boardwalk in Huntington Beach, all the way to Fish Camp in Sunset Beach.

Just before I left for the pier I got an email from Dan; he saw a rainy weekend ahead, so how about a ride? The three of us met at the pier for this leisurely ride along the beach.

Care to join us next Thursday at 11am?
