First ride done. Some sketchy city roads then mainly the Expo bike trail to Santa Monica, that was ok but some patches of glass and got buzzed a few times by cars on Pico. Next took PCH (with a slight detour/wrong turn) up Pacific Pasisades but backtracked to PCH. The PCH between Santa Monica and Topanga, as expected, was dicey with lots of cars but I was careful and aware of cars, so it was tolerable. I turned at the 7-11 and went up Topanga which was much better but still a medium amount of traffic. I turned onto Old Topanga and that was much better, fewer cars and perfect tarmac. I had to turn back to get home for family duties, but will try again tomorrow maybe even try Latigo.
