a tale of two rides:

got after some of the "ugly" rancho palos verdes climbs (ganado, crownview, fellowship park + up to marymount).
mixed in the pretty ascent/descent of nearby via colinita. wanted to get in some decent effort/el gain before the
next ride...

the velo-retro vintage bike ride starting from the aquatic center area just south of the rose bowl. been wanting to roll
this for a few years but on the very rare occasion i'm actually off work on the first sunday of every month, was on vacation
or totally spaced. anyway, finally made it. very chill and a great group with a fairly leisurely pace over the course of roughly 23 miles.
gorgeous bikes and plenty of comments from peds/fellow cyclists re: the steeds.
