Many Bridges To Cross
Posted by Will under biking
Nice bike ride last night; a 13.5-mile route that I cobbled together via Gmaps for the IAAL•MAF’s previously pretty regular Thursday night downtown rides. With friends Stephen, Alice and Michael onboard we back-and-forthed the L.A. River over eight of the 10 bridges that span her from Washington Boulevard up to Broadway north of Chinatown: Washington Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, 7th Street, 6th Street, 4th Street, 1st Street, North Spring Street, North Broadway (not crossed: Cesar Chavez/Macy Street bridge; North Main Street bridge).
From the North Spring Street Bridge looking southeast.

Hey Will - that looks like a fun ride. One of these days I will get down there for some river-side riding. BTW - this Sunday is the Bicycle John’s Grand Prix in Glendale. I am going to volunteer from 10 to 2 and then take on the Cat 4 race. Should be fun!
