Which CABEr/s did you ride or hook up with today...

MD for Maryland rather. MA would be Massachusetts.

Rode around Long Beach and to the top of the new International Bridge in the LA harbor today.
Here’s @Cory @cyclingday and @mrg on the steep ascent!

Another fun day out on the old bikes.

The focus on this ride, was to check out the newly created bike trail over the port of Long Beach/Los Angeles.

It definitely helps, when a member of the founding family is an avid cyclist.

Thank you, Mark Bixby!

We were joking about tagging this sign with a link to the Cabe, so that people that thought they had it bad, could see that there’s a bunch of people that had it way worse.

Get an old bike!
It’ll save your life.

And you thought your bike rode like a boat anchor.

Queen for the day.

Nice riding with you guys!
Can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks Ron @SoBayRon and Marty @cyclingday for sharing. Really nice pics and description of your ride. Looks like a great day riding with friends and exploring what’s new. Now that’s fun.

Fun with the boys on bikes, great weather & good food!, most of my pics would look like duplicates but here's a few different ones.

A recent visit to Jim “legend” @JAF/CO with a few friends. Stayed for a couple of hours at least. Got a few cool items. Never fails, the more you stay, the more you spend. Always fun hanging out at Jim’s shop. Thanks Jim

...outside of an organized vintage bike ride.

Sparky’s @tripple3 distance rides have been told many times here. One of these days I told Sparky. I did a lot of road riding, so I respect the distances that he has ridden, especially on just a single speed vintage balloon bike.

After’s my daughter’s Graduate commencement at USC last Friday night, I called Sparky and asked what he was doing the next morning. A few weeks ago, I informed Todd @srfndoc of our plans that we are planning to attend the Orange ride in May since we were going to be in the area. If we had time, Todd wanted to hook up with him and Robin. Todd sent me a Flyer that he was planning to show his ’67 bus at the Kowabunga VW Bus gathering on the Huntington Beach pier that same day. Another passion of mine, classic cars. I told Sparky, let’s ride from your place in Fountain Valley to Huntington Beach Pier. The plan was to be at the HB Pier by 8 am, when the show starts. So my wife drops me off at Sparky’s by 7 am, thinking we could be at the HB Pier by 8 am. But it never goes as plan, because I was too caught up in seeing Sparky’s bikes, hearing their stories, and seeing more vintage cool stuff. That was fun hanging with Sparky at his place, even for that short time. Late start, we take off for a quick 10 mile ride, through multiple neighborhoods, along the river trail, down the coast trail arriving at the pier before 9 am. The tide was coming inward with a slight breeze. Riding on old Carlisle tires and Sparky’s faster pace, I drafted behind hugging his rear tire. Sparky is so well known, didn’t surprise me that we stopped a few times talking with locals. Anyway, finally got on top of the pier and I see Todd’s bus. Todd not knowing, I send a text with my Colson DBR in front of his ’67 bus. While hanging out with Todd, another vintage bike guy comes up, Matt, with his ’39 Schwinn reverse color red DX, and now we have a mini vintage bike show at Todd’s space and getting a lot of attention too. Pretty cool. Not only did I get to see all these cool old VW buses, but it was nice to hang out with Todd. Thanks buddy. Special thanks to Sparky for hosting me that Saturday morning.

Looks like a really nice ride on some good trails. Cool to see the lines paint like on the roads around here. RideOn. Mark.
