Day #4 of Biking!

So we're not counting the days of rest in our biking tour, seeing as we're going to have quite a few of those days and we don't want to exaggerate our badassery. We had a fantastic BBQ Friday night at Katie's parents where we recieved a lot of love to help us along on our journey. Katie's brother Alec came with us on Sunday's 40 mile trip to Hermosa Beach. That's right, he did 80 miles in one day, we are quite proud of him. We're also extremely grateful for all the city-biking tips he gave us and for making us feel a lot safer on that not-particularly-beautiful part of the trip. Hermosa Beach is as the name suggests: georgeous. We stayed the night at Jesse's Dad's friend Jay and his wife Franci's house which had a flabbergasting view of the ocean. They treated us to an unfathomably good tri-tip BBQ with more excellent people. After saying goodbye to Jay and Franci, we headed off from Hermosa Beach and took a beautiful bike path along the beach and then inland along a waterway to Matt and Lilly's place in Culver City. We're looking forward to getting out of the city areas and into the countryside! We'll get pictures uploaded when we next get to a computer with those capabilities.
