Default Huntington Beach Fun Day!
Our decision to stay off of the bikes Sunday was quickly changed by the thought of riding Huntington Beach Boardwalk on a busy afternoon! My 3 oldest sons live right near the jetty, and I keep my beautiful Specialized HardRock there, for times like these... We visited the boys for a bit then started off on our excellent adventure. Now I realize that this is NOT a mountain bike ride, but we managed to log in over 10 miles.. we saw a hillbilly convention, a volleyball competition, drum circle, HB cop photo op, giant bear sighting, locals lining up, boxing match, well the photos speak for themselves.................
Getting started

Great RR Brenda.

This wasn't a ride, this was an ADVENTURE. You can get an education on Main Street, HB

My fav is the Beverly Hillbillies at the beach. Cool family, all the way from Jasper, Tennessee!

Great RR. Brenda you're getting good at this. Dino needs to get the boardwalk ride set up soon. A lot of fun can be had all over the HB/Newport/Corona Del Mar-ish area. Sometimes I'll ride for hours up and down that trail when I can't get to a mountain bike ride.

We went down there on Sunday too. That lady in the yellow at the drumming circle was a great dancer!

That looks like a good time - how come when I go downtown HB I don't smile that much??

Loved this report. Thanks for the smiles! Another game I like to play is find the celebrity, it's amazing who you see when you really start to look!
