I went to high school literally blocks from there... well, okay, maybe a bit more than that, but yeah. Rode that path countless times both for fun and training.
Other folks only cared about being on the road, but I enjoyed the extra concentration and bike handling I developed as those cement paths were super slick if there was the slightest water or sand on it... and as you can see... there's always some of both around.
I have no interest in going back to SoCal other than to catch a game, seeing my best friend and his wife... well, and getting an Expo '73 omelette from Uncle Bill's Pancake House in Manhattan Beach...
But man, do I miss those rides I took as a kid...
