Migrating and Feeding: Touring the Palos Verdes Peninsula

Not a lot is written about touring in the South Bay. I suspect that it may because of the traffic, lack of parking, and uncertainty of the weather. Also since most of the ride is along residential routes, you have to mind your speed which tends to make the twisty turns less interesting for sport bike riders. Should you be interested in this bit of coast only 40 miles south of Los Angeles, you will be treated to some scenic views and interesting historic landmarks. Instead of re-inventing a review, here is the link to Bill Belei's write up from MotorcycleRoads.com entitled "Palos Verdes Peninsula Tour.

Migration and Feeding: Cook's Corner Via Lake Elsinore, Ortega Hwy

Lifestyle Cycles in Anaheim, CA is as good a starting place as any. The direct path from LC to Cook's Corner, Trabuco Canyon, is only about 30 minutes. To make the ride a little longer and more interesting, we took the long way around via Lake Elsinore over the Ortega Hwy. Like most places in southern California, you have to ride on a few highways before you get to some interesting rides. Might as well take some time to ride and build camaraderie.
