River paths from the coast
What was the river path the Slacker Century went down? I want to start doing some junk miles on those; not enough flats around here. Are there other trails between Torrance and north OC?

It was SART - Santa Ana River Trail. The one between Torrance and SART would be SGRT - San Gabriel River Trail. The beach start of SGRT begins where Long Beach becomes Seal Beach off of PCH (although you could start at the ocean I suppose).
Edit: I wonder if there's a path along the LA River near the 710?

Yes, the east-west bike path through coastal Long Beach connects with the south end of the LA River bike path and follows the LA river north. Ended in the Maywood area the last time I rode it. The graffitti get pretty heavy near the north end.

Google Liberty Park, Cerritos CA.
This is a nice area to start from restroom facility entrance to SGRT ride south to Seal Beach approx. 10 miles from here you can then get on Pacific Coast Hwy. and continue as far as you want.

Steve,
We're doing the long route here on Sat. if you want to tag along to get ready for the Amtrak. And no, we're not looking to do a 27mph ave. (no offense to the SART crew
)

I can assure you that that's not the case...at least not for me. I haven't been on my bike in almost two weeks.
