have ridden through there a few times in the last three months but always either on the beachfront bike path and contacting pch
at the bridge on the south end of long beach just before seal beach or on the pch sector south of the va hospital to seal beach.
don't remember any difficult stretches pavement-wise. it's been probably two years since hitting the majority of ocean blvd to the
ximeno/belmont shores area without any oceanfront, bike path interaction. may hafta check out this coming week tho. was planning
on another south bay/peevee ride but maybe the start/end point will be in lb. it would save 45-50 mins of driving.
any stretch of pch between lax area to the north and seal beach to the south is an advanced masterclass in taking the lane, glancing back and setting drivers on
"chill out" mode, a million biz entry/exit driveways, bleep pavement, leapfrogging busses/trucks w/trailers, fast/aggressive traffic, parked cars on certain days/times in travel lanes and sketchy peds/scooters/e-bikers/other cyclists. it's a real-life video game. if you're able to ride that, you can ride anywhere.
