This trail is 8 miles long starting at Sunset Beach and ending at the junction of the Santa Ana River and Newport/Balboa trails.<br /><br />The entire Huntington Beach bicycle trail is oceanfront and it passes both the Huntington Beach pier and Bolsa Chica wildlife preserve-two definite places of interest. Surfers, swimmers, boardwalk concerts and great sights are everywhere. This <a href="http://www.stockteam.com/paved2.jpg">trail</a> is shared by bicyclists, roller-bladers, and pedestrians so use caution and watch your speed. This path has all the charm of the Venice trail, without all the tourists. Definately a place to try out on a sunny morning.<br /><br />Another beachfront that hosts decent trails is the <a href="http://www.longbeach.gov/park/facilities/bikepath.asp">Long Beach Shoreline</a>. There are four trails that all start near Shoreline Park. One head towards Naples while the second passes right by <a href="http://www.nearfield.com/~dan/sports/bike/beach/longbch/ftest6.jpg">Rainbow Harbor</a>. A third crosses the channel and heads toward Queen Harbor. The final trail meets up with the LA River Trail that winds its way back up to Los Angeles.<br /><br />This is one of the few trails that I prefer to ride at night. The paths are less crowded and the whole coast takes on a completely different atmosphere once the sun goes down. There are great places to eat, interesting shops, and wonderful people. In general the area is very safe, and I personally have never had any problems-but caution should still be warranted especially if your riding alone.<br /><br />This holiday week, I plan to check out the <a href="http://www.nearfield.com/~dan/sports/bike/beach/balboa/index.htm">Newport/Balboa </a>bike path. It runs from the Huntington Beach trail head south to Newport Bay. I'll post and let you know...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18573607-115196866420045228?l=cyclingbicyling.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>2WheelBikeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02258605567058798518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18573607.post-1130954230300680992005-11-02T09:56:00.000-08:002005-11-02T10:17:42.966-08:00This blog will be about bike riding or bicycling in the Southern California. Sorry for the additional blogs. I think it was a blogger error. When I tried to create a blog it kept saying that the name was already taken, so I kept trying. Low and behold when I finally created one and looked at my dashboard I saw multiple blogs! I'll figure out what to do with it later. But for now, it's a start.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18573607-113095423030068099?l=cyclingbicyling.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Airsofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14794666698725467328noreply@blogger.com0
