20 mi, 549 ft, Playa Vista Gravel - Ride Leader : Bob Kellogg

Starting with the regular Thursday ride at MB Pier, we'll stay with (or behind) them until they turn around at Centinela.  We'll exit the bike path and head into Playa Vista for a rest stop, then onto the Bluff Creek Trail.  This is 2 miles long and mostly paved, but many sections are covered with dirt or sand.  We do a couple miles of road, hop onto a short sandy segment, then back to the beach, and south to the coffee shop.  This route is suitable for all abilities.  A gravel bike or mountain bike is recommended, but you can do it with a road bike and a good attitude.
