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

Starting with the regular Thursday ride (9:00) 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.  The off-road parts are getting sandier, so you'll be more comfortable with some knobby tires.
