Biking Adventures: Bixby Knolls to Shoreline Village, Long Beach

One of the benefits of living near Bixby Knolls is that there is an entrance to the Los Angeles River bike path deep inside the Virginia Country Club, located in Bixby Knolls!

Today, Allan and I decided to make use of this. We got our bikes ready and decided to bike over to Shoreline Village, located in Downtown Long Beach.

The route is roughly five miles one way, so we did about ten miles of biking today, altogether.

As usual, please ignore my tired panda eyes. :) The ride was relatively easy, but tiring nonetheless. It was great to be rewarded (thanks, Allan!) in the form of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream upon arrival at Shoreline Village!

The return commute felt a lot faster and shorter, although it was a bit tougher on the legs since it was slightly uphill. I’m expecting to be a bit sore tomorrow, but hopefully my wushu training will help ease the effects of the cycling.

I definitely preferred our Sunset Beach to Huntington Beach bike route better (I mean, seriously, biking by the beach/ocean is absolutely unbeatable), but I wouldn’t mind doing this route again.

      Were you specifically looking for the entrance from Bixby Knolls? It’s located deep inside the Virginia Country Club, toward the back. I can give you a more detailed response if you like. :)
