Riding through the hood...

Today's ride was very serene. We rode the bike path from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach and it was very peaceful ... sun rising in the east, calm waters in the west. We didn't make it a hard speed ride, just a nice peaceful day.
We rode through my home town and my brother drove down to say hello.

 Support station in Manhattan Beach

We eventually made our way through Long Beach and arrived in to Huntingtown Beach. It was getting pretty warm ... over 90 degrees! We decided to take refuge in a local starbucks! Air conditioning,  ... it was great! Two iced mochas and 15 minutes later we were on our way. 5 miles later was lunch at the shake shack!

Our final destination was a beautiful hotel ... and hard  earned massage.

Each nite we have a group dinner and a presentation about something or someone CAF sponsors. Last night we met a young man who battled cancer from the age of nine until 14 ... he lost his leg and a foot to the cancer, but CAF taught him to surf and made the last few years of his life very special.

Friday will ne our short ride into La Jolla Shores and a final farewell!
