Yesterday I did the Ciclavia heart of LA route. 6 miles of open streets thru Macarthur Park, Downtown, Chinatown, and Boyle Heights. Seeing all these people on bikes, scooters, skateboards, and even just walking or running without a car in sight is a beautiful thing. I went riding with my gf, who is a newbie and is rightfully terrified of riding in LA traffic. It was nice for her to get some miles and hill practice without worrying about cars.

The next one is in the valley and tbh, the route looks boring af. Ah well, they can't all be winners and I'm still gonna do my best to make it.
