I know that biking in a sewer does not sound appetizing, but riding on river levees does. Dave and Mike headed on a stormy looking Saturday morning to Bell Gardens for a charity bike ride of 30 miles. Rain was predicted for the afternoon, sooooo we thought we would be dry for this ride in the morning from Bell Gardens, up the Rio Hondo River into Montebello, eastward to Rose Hills in Whittier and then south on the San Gabriel River into Norwalk, Bellflower and Bell Gardens. Oh, BTW the rain was hit and miss for most of the ride until around mile marker 18. Then all the skies opened up. Luckily, we were at the rest stop and hid under a awning of a main building until the storm cell passed over. Then we ventured around puddles to the finish area of grilled chicken, salad, bread, and soft drinks. I would recommend this ride. We thought it had little car traffic with lots of river levees to bike on. Photos are coming at: http://picasaweb.google.com/2stews1948/SewerOnTheGo#
