Major bike ride

James and I did a 17.2 mile bike ride with a bicycle advocacy group, San Gabriel Valley Bicycle Coalition. It was a ride on a part of the Emerald Necklace, which is a multi-use path in the San Gabriel Valley. 

It went from El Monte down to Whittier, and then west through Pico Rivera (I think( and then back.  We did pass Rio Hondo college, which is where I took classes 25 years ago.  It took 3 hours, which included the ride and the sightseeing and the speeches.

It was a beautiful this day and inspiring to be with people trying to clean up the planet in our area. And this area is noticeably better than 25 years ago.
