Rode to Long Beach this morning by streets, keeping the speed down. It is about 20 miles to Alamitos Bay Marina. I cruised the beach roads and ended up by the Queen Mary. I had lunch and returned home. A great ride.
I have always taken the freeway if I was going any distance. It is a lot different when the goal is the journey and not the destination. There were quite a few scooters in this area. They have a very active scooter club in Long Beach. It turned out to be about 55 mile round trip after all of the side trips.
