Rode 71 miles from foothills to the beach along the San Gabriel River Trail. Skies were cloudy and temps stayed in the 50s. The only excitement came from dodging several loose and not friendly dogs. At one point I stopped to pick up a good-sized stick and was carrying it with me like a jousting knight. Luckily I didn't have to use it - I hadn't figured out exactly how I was going to do that, but felt better being armed so to speak.
