Just last Tuesday I went to see Electric Bikes West in El Segundo (the only brommie dealer in SoCal) to get some accessories. Andrea was really nice, cutting into her lunch break to talk to me about the accessories and the SoCal folder ride, plus she was really good about taking suggestions on what accessories to order and stock. I highly recommend them, folks. I did buy a carrier block and s-bag from them.
After the business with the shop, I went to the beach bike path to try out a little part of the next socal folder ride. We are going up from the shop to Santa Monica via the beach bike path, around 15mi one-way. Beach bike path was almost deserted because of the weekday, overcast skies, and strong winds, but it was fun to pootle along. I gave up after around 6mi because the headwinds were strong and I wimped out, and I found it easy to find a bus stop near where I gave up.

The sea! The sea!
Vendetta gets to watch my stuff...
...as I go dig my feet into the sand and watch the waves
The sand dunes make for very interesting lines
Vendetta gets to play on the sand while her mommy cavorts in the waves. Yes, she got a thorough drivetrain cleaning afterwards!!!
The sea! The sea! I found it hard to wrench myself from this spot.
