03/23/2008: "Back to the Bridge"
Having had a good workout or two last week in rides requiring the negotiation of hills, I decided to be good and lazy on my Sunday ride and go--of course--to the beach! Hey, it's springtime in California, after all! So I saddled up the Bambina, my Bottecchia fixie, and headed down Jefferson Boulevard to the Bridge at Playa del Rey, then back along the Ballona Creek bikepath. And for once I did not forget my camera!So here are a few pix from the ride:

I hope spring comes soon to you, too, wherever you are. But get out and ride anyway--it's always good!
