Ins and Outs at Seal Beach

What's big and blue and foamed with white? Well, it could have been either the Pacific or the sky today. After a little morning June Gloom burn-off, both fit the description.

It just seemed like the thing to do today; I awoke with a desire to ride to the beach and, fortunately, that was easy enough to do. It seemed as though every bike owner in Los Angeles and Orange Counties had the same idea and, except for brief breaks, the stream of riders on the San Gabriel River Trail was an unabated flow. The combination of being shut in, then out in the protests, there had to be some release. The sun was out, the riders were out, it was the in thing to do.
